From Legally Blonde's writers comes
The House Bunny, out in the UK today following
its summer release in the US.
The film focuses on Shelley (Anna Faris), a Playboy bunny who's thrown out of Hef's mansion for being too old. Finding herself on a university campus, she becomes housemother to a sorority of "nerds".
The Coen Bros. helped give the box office a needed Autumn boost with their comedy
Burn After Reading, which debuted at No. 1 with an estimated $19.4 million.
Well, the Fall movie season came in with a whimper.
According to Variety, "The first weekend after Labor Day is always sluggish, but this year the frame was affected by the start of the NFL football season and was particularly dreary."
Bangkok Dangerous came in at No.
Labor Day weekend officially signals the close of the Summer box office season, and this year's ended on, as
Variety described it, "a whimper" as opposed to a bang.
Tropic Thunder landed in the top spot for the third weekend in a row, pulling in an estimated $14.3 million over four days. The second spot went to
Babylon A.D. which earned an estimated $12 million.
Ben Stiller's
Tropic Thunder won the top spot at the box office for the
second weekend in a row, earning an estimated $16.1 million. This makes Tropic Thunder,
Iron Man, and
The Dark Knight the only movies to have stayed at No. 1 for two consecutive weeks this Summer (so that's two major box office winners for Robert Downey Jr.!).
There are not enough redheads in Hollywood. There, I said it. Newcomer Emma Stone is taking every carpet by storm in her youthful, experimental getups.
To be honest, I really wanted
The House Bunny to be great. I didn't expect it to be, but I wished it would surprise me and turn out to be fun and hilarious. Amidst the constant comedic bombardment from the Ferrells, Stillers and Apatows of the world, I wanted there to be a totally kickass, stand-out female-led comedy.
Ah, the movie makeover. A gimmick that offers filmmakers a way to convey. .
It was a family affair for Rumer Willis at
The House Bunny premiere at Mann Village Theater in LA last night. Ashton, Bruce, Demi and the rest of the gang came out to support her new movie, proving once again how
close the whole family is. Her parents weren't the only ones with dates on their arms, Rumer brought her boyfriend Micah Alberti to pose for photos and see the film.
