Oct 13 2008 Talking Animals Retain Popularity from Week to Week
Weekend box office results!
1. Beverly Hills Chihuahua - $17.5 million. Number one. For the second straight week. Nice job, everyone.
2. Quarantine - $14.2 million, which is worse than the talking dog movie's second week.
3. Body of Lies - $13.1 million--way less than the second week of the movie where dogs talk.
4. Eagle Eye - $11 million, suggesting the stars of this film were probably humans rather than, say, talking dogs in their second week of a movie's run.
5. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist - $6.5 million. Infinite playlist? More like infinitely less popular than another week of talking dogs!
Jul 9 2008 'Quarantine' Trailer: It's Like That Blair Witch One, or That Clover One, but with Zombies
There's a new trailer for Quarantine, a shot-for-shot remake of [REC] and the latest entry in the insane-event-captured-on-handheld-video genre that introduces a zombie virus into the equation. Does it have fearful weeping delivered directly into the camera? Yes, it does. Seemingly scary things happening that the cameraman barely catches a glimpse of? Yes. Someone insisting the cameraman keeps taping? Yes again. The assurance that many will leave the theater complaining about feeling motion sick? Yes! All those clichés and more!
Spoiler! I hear [REC] was good, but seriously, the "zombie virus" thing ends up being bite-transmitted demon possession? That seems incredibly stupid.
