Justin Timberlake To Play Yogi Bear’s Sidekick

Justin Timbelake will be playing Yogi Bear’s side kick BooBoo in the upcoming movie based on Yellowstone’s favorite goofy bear. Filming is set to begin next month in New Zealand and Dan Aykroyd will be the voice of Yogi.

Sorry, but I think they should have recruited Seth Macfarlane for the voice of Yogi. He does an awesome job on Family Guy and his voice is closer to the original character’s voice anyway.

The Stars Step Out For Michael Jackson’s This Is It Premiere

It’s not surprising that a tone of star power including Will Smith, Paula Abdul, J-Lo, and many more stepped out last night in LA to attend Michael Jackson’s This Is It premiere. This movie had already sold out in many theaters across the nation and is expected to draw in big bucks.

RIP Michael Jackson.

Paranormal Activity Tops Weekend Box Office

 

A low budget film beat out Saw VI this weekend at the box office earning $22.0 million. Paranormal Activity seems to be taking theaters by storm, so far it’s grand total earnings is $62.5 million thanks to word of mouth and Internet buzz.

One movie that had a terrible opening weekend was Amelia, staring Hilary Swank. It landed in the number 11 spot earning a mere $4.0 million, just goes to show the Horror films and kiddie movies are ruling the theaters at the moment.

Where the Wild Things Are fell to number three this past weekend bringing it’s total to $53.9 million. I have to admit I can’t wait to take my kids to see this one before it leaves theaters, it’s one you have to see at the theater.

Here’s a look at estimated ticket sales over the weekend according to Box Office Mojo:

1. Paranormal Activity: $22.0 million

2. Saw VI: $14.8 million

3. Where The Wild Things Are: $14.4 million

4. Law Abiding Citizen: $12.7 million

5. Couples Retreat: $11.0 million

6. Astro Boy: $7.0 million

7. The Stepfather $6.5 million

8. Cirque de Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant: $6.3 million

9. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs: $5.6 million

10. Zombieland: $4.3 million

Robert Pattinson and Hugh Jackman Bond Over Karaoke

Robert Pattinson is set to star in a new movie called Unbound Captives with Hugh Jackman.
The two Hollywood heartthrobs bonded by doing karaoke together - singing Abba. Robert revealed:

“We met up in Japan and we went karaoke singing. We were singing Abba songs, it was pretty funny. It was sort of an Abba song sing-off, you know, last man standing.

I think he won, only because he can drink more than me and still sing in tune. He’s a cool guy and I’m really looking forward to that film.”

I wasn’t aware that Robert Pattinson could sing, but I’m not surprised Hugh Jackman beat him singing Abba! I love Hugh Jackman!

Couples Retreat Tops Weekend Box Office Earning $35.3 Million

 

People everywhere flocked to the theaters to watch Couples Retreat, a comedy about four couples that head to an island therapy resort. I can’t say I blame them, this movie looks hilarious. Zombieland slipped to the number 2 spot this weekend earning $15 million, while the animated movies fell to number 3 and 4.

I’m a little surprised Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story hasn’t done so well at the box office, it’s only made $9.0 million since being released three weeks ago. Looks like America may be growing tired of his anti-government movies.

Here’s a look at estimated weekend box office ticket sales Oct. 9th through Oct. 11th according to Box Office Mojo:

1. Couples Retreat: $35.3 million

2. Zombieland: $15.0 million

3. Coudy With a Chance of Meatballs: $12.0 million

4. Toy Story/Toy Story 2 (3D): $7.6 million

5. Paranormal Activity: $7.0 million

6. Surrogates: $4.1 million

7. The Invention of Lying: $3.3 million

8. Whip It: $2.8 million

9. Capitalism: A Love Story: $2.7 million

10. Fame (2009): $2.5 million
