SUNDAY EARLY AM: Disney's tween/teen audience pleaser High School Musical 3: Senior Year sounded the right note at the box office and opened with a big $16.9 million Friday from a very wide release into 3,623 North American theaters. But then it surprisingly fell 9% Saturday to make $15.5 million. So now its weekend total, counting Sunday's estimated gross, is a hefty $44 million. ... There's been tremdous interest by the public in the box office fate of Oliver Stone's W. for its second weekend in release. Well, it ran out of steam. QED International/Lionsgate's Bush biopic sank 58% to No. 8 with $1.5 million Friday from 2,050 dates for what will probably be a $5.2M weekend. The $30M negative cost film should end up with $23M domestic box office gross by the end of its North American run. That means, with a $25M P&A investment and Lionsgate's distribution fees, the film won't recoup.
...Disney's Beverly Hills Chihuahua earned another $7.5M this weekend from 3,190 theaters for No. 4.

Probably the most action he's had in a while. :-)

the girls in my daughter's third grade class all went together to see HSM3... not as good as the first two, but every time Zac Efron came onscreen, the teenagers in the theater literally screamed and catcalled him - it was pretty strange for the third graders (they dont have crushes yet) but the moms laughed their heads off..
as for W... meh, every Stone interview I've read he admits he's never met the president, nor did he talk with anyone who knew him. sounds like a fantasy movie to me..

I have never seen one of his films. They all sounded worse than Moore garbage.
I saw the Ads for W everywhere. Stupid beyond belief.

The last Stone movie I saw was "The Doors". Painful. Seeing Kathleen Quinlan's boobs was it's only redeeming value.
