Lee Daniels’ The Butler Rules The Box-Office

By
In the battle of Oscar-bait vs. comedy ultra violence, it was The But – sorry, Lee Daniels’ The Butler – all the way at the US box office this weekend. Daniels’ fact-based tale of a longstanding White House employee dashed to the top spot with $25 million.

Pot smuggling comedy We’re The Millers clung to second place, adding $17.7 million, and last week’s topper, the new Neill Blomkamp sci-fi Elysium, was pushed to third with $13.6 million. Kick-Ass 2, meanwhile, had to make do with a disappointing fourth place launch and $13.5 million in the bank, which is less than the original managed back in 2010. In fifth we find DisneyToons’ Planes, which increased cinema screens but still dropped in terms of earnings, making $13.1 million.

Sixth was Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters, which made $8.3 million, ahead of Steve Jobs biopic Jobs, which isn’t exactly enjoying Apple-level success with a $6.7 million opening. 2 Guns was eighth, earning $5.5 million, while The Smurfs 2 dropped to ninth with $4.6 million and The Wolverine was 10th with $4.4 million. But if there were a true flop this week, it would have to be the Liam Hemsworth/Harrison Ford/Gary Oldman thriller Paranoia, which staggered into 13th place despite arriving in 2,459 cinemas, and scraped only $3.5 million.

To see a butler kick the arse of a costumed vigilante, watch any video from Alfred Pennyworth’s ultimate fighting YouTube channel. Or head to Box Office Mojo.

Enter For A Chance To Win Pass To See MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS on December 5th at 7:30 PM in Austin. MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS explores the turbulent life of Mary Stuart ( Saoirse Ronan ). Queen of France at 16 and widowed at 18, Mary defies pressure to remarry. Instead, she returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne alongside her cousin Elizabeth I ( Margot Robbie ), who rules as England’s Queen. Rivals in power and in love, and female monarchs in a masculine world, the two must decide how to play the game of marriage versus independence. Determined to rule as much more than a figurehead, Mary asserts her claim to the English throne, threatening Elizabeth’s sovereignty. Betrayal, rebellion, and conspiracies within each court imperil both thrones – and change the course of history.

Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert?

Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert? We're halfway checked out for the holiday weekend, so let's end with bit of comedy. A litigious videogame player is calling Winona Ryder to testify as an expert in "alienation." Erik Estavillo has filed a $1 million lawsuit in California Superior Court against Activision Blizzard, publisher of "World of Warcraft," saying it "maintain(s) a harmful virtual environment to many of its customers by forcing them to follow the game's sneaky and deceitful practices." The plaintiff says he suffers from several mental health problems brought on by WoW's "alienating" features, such as forcing beginners to walk or run to get from one point to another instead of speedier options available to those who master the game or buy an expansion pack. Estavillo says that the slow pace is "deceitful" because more time = more subscription revenue for Activision. Here's where Winona Ryder comes...

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
