'The American' Celebrates Labor Day: Box Office Report September 3-6
Filed under: Movie News, UK Box Office, Box Office, New Releases, UK Box Office
Crime paid at the box office this Labor Day weekend. The top three movies were all about killers and thieves, led by George Clooney's 'The American.' The contemplative assassin drama earned an estimated $16.4 million over the four-day weekend and a total of $19.5 million since it opened last Wednesday.
Neck-and-neck for second place were fellow newcomer 'Machete' and last week's winner, 'Takers.' Robert Rodriguez's razor-sharp revenge thriller had an estimated four-day total of $14.0 million, compared to an estimated $13.5 million for the stylish heist caper. That's after three-day estimates yesterday placed 'Takers' just $150,000 ahead of 'Machete.' (In its second week, 'Takers' still had the highest per-screen average, with $6,120, and its Friday-to-Sunday total was just 44 percent less than last week's, suggesting that the film will have some staying power at the box office.) Indeed, 'Machete' and 'Takers' were so close that there could be another reversal by the time final studio figures are released on Tuesday. Continue Reading

Judd Apatow Switches Gears; Now Working on Female-Centric Projects
Filed under: Deals, DIY/Filmmaking, Movie News, CinematicalCollider has word that Judd Apatow will collaborate with up-and-coming writer/director Lena Dunham on an upcoming tv pilot for HBO. Dunham plans on writing, directing and starring in what will likely be a semi-autobiographical series. Her most recent feature, Tiny Furniture, got great word-of-mouth from SXSW and won the "Best Narrative Feature" prize. The news comes as a bit of a surprise to some because, well, Dunham's a girl and Apatow's comedies typically treat women like comedic foils for their boy-men protags.
Then again, having seen Tiny Furniture, I can say that though Dunham is in fact a lady, her style of comedy/drama is probably more in-sync with Apatow's than most people might think. Tiny Furniture is a semi-autobiographical indie that roughly follows Dunham's post-grad slump after she moved home and was unable to find work or a normal romantic relationship (mumblecore darling Alex Karpovsky plays one of her two love interests but it's assumed he's stringing her along). In other words: it's a movie about growing up and learning to accept new social responsibilities. How does this not sound like a Judd Apatow comedy? Continue Reading

Do 3D Movies Deserve Higher Ratings?
Filed under: Box Office, Tech Stuff, Politics, Movie News, UK Box Office, Cinematical, UK Box OfficeWe're all well aware of the subtle and subjective art of the cinematic rating system. Remove a word here, take out an innuendo or slip of the nip there, and suddenly that risque adult fare becomes palatable for familial audiences. But here's a new goodie to consider: With the rise of 3D, will we start seeing the same film receive different ratings between the second and third dimension, and what will that mean for the ever-important box office take?
It seems that overseas in Sweden, the country's Board of Film Censors doled out two different ratings for Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore. The 2D version was rated G, meaning everyone could see it without adult supervision, while the 3D version was rated PG, requiring adults to accompany tykes under the age of 7. Continue Reading
