Box Office Breakdown: Beverly Hills Chihuahua is Weekend’s Top Dog
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: DreamWorks, FOCUS, Disney, Lionsgate, Paramount, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Documentary, Drama, Independent, Political, Religious, Romance, Satire, Comedy, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists,
On a weekend with seven new wide releases, it was Beverly Hills Chihuahua that emerged as Best in Show. The film, one of the few family-oriented titles currently being offered, earned nearly $30 million over the past three days. That amount was enough to easily surpass Eagle Eye, last week’s #1. The talking-dogs feature also gave Disney its best October opening thus far.
Of the other new entries in the Top Ten, one was religion-centric while the other had political overtones. (Could this be an election year?) Coming in at #10 was Religulous, the documentary from Bill Maher. Although the movie was only offered in limited release, it pulled in $6,792 per theater. That was the second highest average amongst the chart toppers. Meanwhile, An American Carol, a right-wing satirical comedy, found itself in 9th place.

Mariah Carey’s New Film Released this Fall
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories:
When it comes to winter, most moviegoers have come to expect a slate of Oscar contenders filling their theaters. But those indifferent about the awards season can always find a few counterprogramming choices. For example, audiences this December can choose to watch Marley & Me, Punisher: War Zone...or they can watch the latest attempt from Mariah Carey.
Tennessee, a movie about two brothers embarking on a journey to find their real father, had its debut back in April at the Tribeca Film Festival. Now the film will officially premiere in late 2008, approximately seven years after Carey’s disastrous turn in Glitter.
In the film, Mariah stars as a waitress trying to escape a bad marriage. The aspiring country singer joins the men on their road trip when they travel through her town. This role was a part Janet Jackson had originally intended to play. In fact, the Jackson specifically gained 60 lbs. for the character. (She said the producers wanted to see her “in a different light.”) But scheduling conflicts eventually forced Janet to drop out of the movie. (Weight gain was apparently not a requirement for Carey’s participation.)
Those interested in previewing Tennessee can find a few a few clips after the jump.
