Weekend Box Office: Audiences Get Their Strings Attached To 'No Strings Attached'
Not much news to report during this quiet January weekend. One wide release opened to numbers that a studio would expect given two publicity-heavy stars in January ($20.3 million). “No Strings Attached” matched industry expectations, bringing good news to all involved, though if you're the only wide...

Weekend Box Office: 'Green Hornet' Nests At #1, 'Dilemma' Disappoints
This is how business works in Hollywood: you break records or else. "The Green Hornet" was a big ticket for Sony, opening at #1 as everyone expected.

In Theaters: 'The Green Hornet,' 'The Dilemma,' 'Barney's Version,' 'Ong Bak 3'
Screw Serious Cinema, It's Time for Some Laffs 'n Action Ah January, what a curious moviegoing month you are.

Watch: Electric Cars Aren't Gay In The International Trailer For 'The Dilemma'
While the battle for comedic free expression has been won on the back of a pretty dumb joke, the international trailer for Ron Howard's "The Dilemma" plays it safe and doesn't reference the "electric cars are gay" joke at all, but actually, surprisingly, did make us chuckle more than the first spot ...

Electric Cars Will Continue To Be Gay, Ron Howard Keeping Joke In 'The Dilemma'
