Jan 21 2008 'Cloverfield' Wins Weekend Box Office

1. Cloverfield - With $41 million, it really stomped the competition! Or how about, a monstrous win for Cloverfield? Or maybe, Cloverfield's weekend not as shaky as its camera? Cloverfield doesn't need its hand-held to win weekend? Whichever is most ridiculous.

2. 27 Dresses - $22.4 million, or about $830,000 per dress.

3. The Bucket List - Another $15.2 million proved it's the hot destination for baby boomers looking for something without "that awful shaky camera."

4. Juno - With another $10.3 million, next year's "this year's Little Miss Sunshine" will now be "this year's Juno," which is this year's Little Miss Sunshine.

5. National Treasure: Book of Secrets - Y'say Ghos' Rider is back hunnin' fer treasure?! Shoot, I'd collectively pay $8.1 million t'see that, y'all!

Conspicuously absent, but deservedly so: Mad Money, Alvin and the Chipmunks (finally).

Jan 14 2008 Empty Nesters Weekend Box Office For 'Bucket List'

1. The Bucket List - $19.5 million. With no new episodes of CSI, everyone's parents went out this weekend.

2. First Sunday - Will a $19 million opening be enough to warrant Second Sunday After Next?

3. Juno - The quirky but charming gross of $14 million.

4. National Treasure: Book of Secrets - If you're able to suspend your disbelief that this could make another $11.5 million, you're the perfect audience for this movie.

5. Alvin and the Chipmunks - Still here, and making $9.1 million.

Oct 30 2007 AM Poster Post: 'The Bucket List' Captures Special Moment

It's a beautiful but tragic thing to capture the exact moment when someone exits the realm of legitimate acting and joins the ranks of old guys just being old, but it appears they've done it with this poster. Like the posters for Grumpy/Grumpier Old Men and Secondhand Lions, The Bucket List has no qualms about selling this film based entirely around the idea that once-respected actors are now very old, and probably dying.

Won't it be fun to see how old Jack Nicolson is, and how he interacts with another old man, Morgan Freeman? And it's only compounded by the fact that the plot of the film is based around doing certain things before you die. Jack must have an item on his own bucket list that says, "Make feel-good comedy where I play myself, a man becoming increasingly evil-looking and genderless with age."
