Nice to see some pretty good numbers for Silent Hill. I had a hard time guessing what The Sentinel would make. Would people come out for Michael Douglas and Jack Bauer kind of sort of maybe? I guess not.

"American Dreamz" certainly tanked. Wasn't the box-office prediction around 7.5M? Anyway, saw it and thought it was o.k. at best. Guess word of mouth is killing it. I went with a group of friends to see it and none of us really liked it.

I gave American Dreamz 1/2 star, or a grade of F+, it was wanted to be so smarmy and high-handed, but utterly failed as a satire, much less a comedic look at the banalization of TV viewers who soak up reality TV fanfare such as American Idol, or put up with a president who is presented as a dullard being controlled by his VP. Seriously, save your money, it's a total waste of time. The 1/2 star was for the hottie middle eastern female cousin of Omar.

Good to see "Inside Man" passing $80 million. Looks like it may top out around $90 million. "Silent Hill's" 10% drop on Saturday spells out short legs....especially with M:I3 looming.

I'm just ecstatic to see the return of the R rated horror movie again....about time!

Sony apparently only paid $14m for US Distribution rights. Bodes well for them, at least, supporting a sequel.

I think the main killer for american dreams was that no one who watches American Idol wants to hear about Politics and no one who wants to see political satire wants to see a film even remotely related to american idol material.
