Celebrity Today Movie Report For August 25th
Even with a number of new movies out this past weekend, Tropic Thunder somehow managed to stay on top for the second week in a row. They earned an estimated $16.1 million at the box office, which when you look at the recent successes other openers have had this summer, the number is quite low. It was a close call though because one new release was close on Tropic Thunder’s heels.
The House Bunny, the latest release from Anna Faris, came in second place with an estimated $15.1 million in box office receipts. Death Race, another new release this weekend, came in third place, while The Dark Knight came in fourth. Overseas, The Dark Knight is still coming out on top in box office numbers there.
As for looking ahead to what is coming out this week, we have a number of new releases out in time for the end of summer. Babylon A.D. is the latest action movie from Vin Diesel. His next movie, The Fast & Furious, had its trailer released to audiences that went out to see Death Race. The trailer is not yet available online, but it should be soon, and as soon as it is I will have it for you here!
On DVD, we see a number of new releases as well. These include the comedy from Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher, What Happens in Vegas, the second season of Heroes, the fifth season of One Tree Hill, and a number of best of collections of many popular series. Musicwise, we have new music from The Verve and Blues Traveler! For a full list of releases check after the cut.
