Comedy and robots — that’s what sold this weekend at the American box office. A major action sequel topped the chart, with four comedies following close behind. Transformers: Dark of the Moon easily held on to first place, firing up an optimal $47 million. That number represents a 52 percent decline from last weekend, and gives Dark of the Moon a 12-day total of $261 million. The original Transformers had earned $212.3 million at the same point, while Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen had pulled in a stronger $293.4 million.

Word-of-mouth does appear to be helping Transformers: Dark of the Moon, though. READ FULL STORY »

Transformers: Dark of the Moon held on to its prime position at the box office on Friday, blasting up another $14.9 million. That number represents a 55 percent drop from Moon‘s last Friday, which is actually in line with expectations, as effects-driven sequels tend to be very frontloaded at the box office. Transformers should earn a strong $46 million this weekend and lead all other releases by a comfortable margin. That’s not to say that the newcomers fizzled, though — they most certainly did not!  READ FULL STORY »

There’s certainly much to enjoy in Horrible Bosses, directed by Seth Gordon (read Lisa Schwarzbaum’s review here), the funniest workplace revenge comedy to come along since 9 to 5. But perhaps the most unexpected pleasure is seeing Jennifer Aniston play a predatory, filthy-mouthed dentist who delights in sexually harassing her assistant (played by Charlie Day). “I had such a great time doing it. It was ridiculous fun,” Aniston tells EW. “I never get that kind of fun stuff. It was great! You do tend to get locked into parts that you play, you know what I mean?  People forget that there are other parts in there. That’s what I love about Seth Gordon — someone with imagination. You just have to have the balls to let people try [other kinds of roles].” READ FULL STORY »

Since its debut last Wednesday, Transformers: Dark of the Moon has been utterly dominant at the box office, amassing a gigantic $204.4 million in its first eight days of release. This weekend, Horrible Bosses and Zookeeper will do their best to compete with Transformers, but the Michael Bay film is all but guaranteed another weekend atop the chart. That’s not to say that the newcomers won’t do well for themselves — they very well might — but in this battle between people, animals, and machines, I’ve got my money on the robots. Take a look at my box office predictions below.  READ FULL STORY »

New 'Horrible Bosses' trailer features Jennifer Aniston 'fooling around'

by
Tags: , , , , Jennifer Aniston

The second trailer for Horrible Bosses — a black comedy starring Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, and Charlie Day as abused employees who decide to murder the awful people they work for (Kevin Spacey, a nearly unrecognizable Colin Farrell, and Jennifer Aniston, respectively) — has just hit the Internet.

While the new clip isn’t drastically different from the first preview, it does feature some funny new footage of Aniston’s oversexed dentist taking advantage of a knocked-out patient. No wonder Bateman told EW that the film “takes full advantage of the [expected] R rating, which is always good.” Horrible Bosses will be out in theaters July 8.

Check out the preview below, then let us know if you think this 9 to 5 meets The Hangover premise will have you rolling in the aisles. READ FULL STORY »
