Box Office results for the weekend.

1 High School Musical 3: Senior Year $15.0 M

2 Zack and Miri Make A Porno $10.7 M

3 Saw V $10.1 M

4 Changeling $9.4 M

5 The Haunting of Molly Hartley $6.0 M

6 Beverly Hills Chihuahua $4.7 M

HSM3 stays alive over Halloween weekend, making it the #1 movie in America two weeks in a row. So for the past five weeks, it was Chihuahua for two, then Payne for one, and then Musical for two. Disney does well...
Kevin Smith's movie Zack and Miri Male a Porno didn't do as well as he had hoped and Saw V stayed up near the top probably with the Halloween crowd.
The lower spots were taken up by Max Payne, Eagle Eye, and Pride & Glory.

Box Office results for the weekend.

Thanks to Latino Review for checking out the Box Office results for this past weekend.

1 High School Musical 3: Senior Year $42 M

2 Saw V $30.5 M

3 Max Payne $7.6 M

4 Beverly Hills Chihuahua $6.9 M

6 The Secret Life of Bees $5.9 M

7 W. $5.3 M

8 Eagle Eye $5.1 M

9 Body of Lies $4.1 M

Not really surprised HSM took the lead. There is an infinite number of fangirls out there. I mean, do you see the hype coming out for Twilight?
The Saw franchise is starting to lose its luster, but there will probably be another 3 or 4 of them. And the news came out that Max Payne is actually not that good of a movie. Beverly Hills Chihuahua is still up in the Top 5. Be prepared to see a sequel.

Surprise Hit at the Box Office

I mentioned this news to some friends and they were surprised. So if this news is surprising, then it is worth writing about.

Can you guess what movie was the #1 hit at the Box Office this past weekend?
Would you have guessed Beverly Hills Chihuahua?

It made about $30 million over the weekend, knocking Eagle Eye down to rank #2.
America has cast it vote.

Ay Chihuahua!

Blade Runner 2

Blade Runner came out in 1982, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford. It is based on the novel Do Androids Dream of Electronic Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. It is about Rick Deckard, a Blade Runner, a police man of the future who hunts down and terminates replicants, artificially created humans.The year is 2019, and the world is a techno-crazed image of LA.

The movie is heralded as one of the greatest science fiction films ever made and is #103 of the top 250 movies on IMDB.
It has been 26 years since the movie was released, and the film has been rereleased many time with new cuts of the film. Now, writers from the movie Eagle Eye are hoping to make a sequel.

Judao got the scoop on Blade Runner 2.

"It’s true, folks! Hot source on the project states that Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner sequel is in the works under the command of veteran producer Bud Yorkin. Top screenwriters John Glenn and Travis Wright (Eagle Eye) are working on several treatments since 2006 and the current status of the story is classified, but Yorkin is in touch with previsualization team The Third Floor (all former Star Wars special effects team members) in order to work on some of the hunter sequences and space battles which occur in off-world colonies where the sequel is most likely to take place. Blade Runner II is still away from its conclusion, but it’s evolving.

Previs seems to be a vital part of the process now that the crew will be able to fix problems and reduce the need of reshoots which were a drag on the first version. If it will good or bad, only time will tell. Yorkin already mentioned that if the green light is given, he’ll bring back stars Harrison Ford, Hutger Hauer and Daryl Hannah."

Some news about this week

Out in theaters this Friday are a couple of movies.

Choke - A movie based on a book by Chuck Palahniuk, same guy who wrote Fight Club. It is about a sex-addicted man who needs to pay his mother's hospital bills, so he uses the sympathy of those who rescue him from choking to death.

Eagle Eye - Brought to you by the same director of Disturbia, Shia is back and ready for action. The film is about two strangers who are pawns of a mysterious woman who knows their every move and uses them to further her plot of political assassination.

Nights in Rodanthe - Based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook) this film is about a man who travels to see his son meets an unhappily married woman and the sparks fly.


New movies out on DVD!

The Godafather: The Coppoola Restoration Giftset - The Godfather Trilogy returns as a complete set, this time with the director's seal of approval. Might be pricey though...over $60...

Leatherheads - The love story set in the 1920's come to DVD. Oh yeah, and there is old school football.

Sex and the City - The DVD of the Fab Four comes out with an extended edition of the movie. This is really the first of the summer movies I reviewed to come out on DVD. Must be a reason behind all that...
