Star-studded Vantage Point raised $22.8 million over the past three days making it this weekend’s clear winner. The film, starring Dennis Quaid and Matthew Fox, gives viewers multiple perspectives of a presidential assassination attempt. Although the Pete Travis movie received less than positive reviews, the action thriller easily outearned its nearest competitor, The Spiderwick Chronicles.
The only other new entry in the Top Ten was Michel Gondry’s Be Kind Rewind. The Jack Black/Mos Def comedy opened in limited release and averaged over $5000 per screen. Aside from Vantage, every other chart topper earned less than $4000 per theater.

Michel Gondry remakes trailer for Be Kind Rewind in the style of Be Kind Rewind
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: New Line, Comedy, Trailers,
Michel Gondry continues to make it difficult to argue that he is a cinematic mastermind. In the video above, you will find a trailer by Gondry that is a remake of the official trailer for Be Kind Rewind. The remake is done in the style of the movie. So, this is a remake of a trailer about a movie about a couple of guys who have to remake movies themselves, done by two guys who have to remake the trailer for the movie themselves. I don’t even know if I am making sense anymore, but check the video, as it is the epitome of awesomeness.
