Celebrity Today

Another Monday has arrived, and that means it is time to look at this weekend’s box office. With only one major movie in wide release, that means that movie somehow managed to top the box office charts. The romantic comedy Couples Retreat happened to bring in $35 million this week. The movie was set this weekend’s release date with Shutter Island, but that movie was pushed back to a February release date. Last week’s number one, Zombieland slipped to the number two spot, and the shocker of the week has to be Paranormal Activity, which managed to come in the top five with only a very limited release in theaters. That one made just over $7 million.

As for the week head, we certainly seem to have a busy week as far as new releases. We have three new offerings coming to theaters this week. Two of the thriller variety, and one for the whole family to enjoy. One that many are looking at is the remake of The Stepfather. The original of that movie is the one that made Terry O’Quinn famous long before he was on Lost. The trailer for the remake actually looks alright, but we all know I’m not a big fan of remakes. The other big release to theaters this week is from Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx with Law Abiding Citizen where we see what a man pushed to the edge after watching his family killed and the men set free is capable of doing.

As far as releases to stores. We have a number of new releases to DVD including The Prosposal, Land of the Lost and Drag Me To Hell.  The first three seasons of the Land of the Lost television series is also hitting DVD this week. As far as music goes, we have new releases from Shakira, Mario and it seems the Christmas music season is starting to get underway. Check below for a full list of new releases.
