Box Office: This Is It Moonwalks to the Top
All hail the King of Pop: posthumous Michael Jackson documentary This Is It landed at the top of the box office this weekend, raking in $21.3 million in its first weekend in theaters.
Last week's number one, Paranormal Activity, bowed to the king and fell to number two with $16.5 million. In third place was the Gerard Butler thriller Law Abiding Citizen with a haul of $7.3 million, while Couples Retreat and Saw VI came in at fourth and fifth with respective gains of $6 million and $5.5 million.
Box Office: Paranormal Activity Spooks Its Way to No. 1
Talk about a shocker! The low-budget underdog Paranormal Activity has been riding its growing popularity all the way to the top — even upsetting the reigning king of horror, the Saw franchise. Paranormal took in $22 million in its first weekend with a wide release, which has execs talking about a possible sequel.
Box Office: At the Top Is Where the Wild Things Are
Where the Wild Things Are lived up to its big expectations, taking the top spot at the box office this weekend with $32.4 million.
Audiences disregarded Law Abiding Citizen's less than stellar reviews (including my own), and the film took second place and raked in $21.2 million. Paranomal Activity continues to soar, climbing up to number three and making $20.1 million.
Box Office: Audiences Book a Night With Couples Retreat
Well, the numbers speak for themselves — people love a Vince Vaughn movie. I was admittedly lukewarm about Couples Retreat, but that didn't stop it from cashing in at the box office. The ensemble comedy took in $35.3 million, making it the first big hit for Universal after a lackluster Summer.
Couples Retreat: Not Exactly a Relaxing Getaway
Everyone loves a vacation, right? Beautiful scenery, tropical drinks, fun in the sun. Add a few of your closest friends and you could have the trip of a lifetime — or a romantic getaway gone horribly awry.
Buzz Quiz: How Well Do You Know Vince Vaughn?
Vince Vaughn is Hollywood's funny guy with the razor-sharp tongue — vertically gifted, member of the Frat Pack, and all-around movie quote generator. (Seriously, how many times have you heard the line, "You're so money and you don't even know it?") You may be able to recite all of the popular Vaughn-isms, but are you a true fanatic? In honor of Couples Retreat opening this week, take my quiz and find out.
Buzz's Picks For Fall Movies: Comedies
I've already given you previews of tons of upcoming Fall films, but now that their release dates are fast-approaching, I'm going to share my picks for the ones most worth seeing. Mark your calendar (or just write 'em in on your TV calendar!). First up, comedies.
Movie Preview: Couples Retreat
This movie stars a whole slew of actors who are no strangers to comedy (Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau, Jason Bateman, Kristin Davis, Kristen Bell and a bunch more), though the trailer for their upcoming movie Couples Retreat doesn't really elicit the big laughs. It does look pretty cute, though, so maybe it's more of a silly-funny thing than a ha-ha-funny thing.
The story follows four couples — some happy in their relationships and some on the brink of separating — who attend a couples retreat together in a beautiful tropical location.
