This Is It Disappoints In First Day
The results are in and the Michael Jackson documentary This Is It has opened on Wednesday with 7.4 million. That number includes 2.2 million that it made on Tuesday night screenings. That puts This Is It on track to make in the range of 32-36 million over the opening five days. Industry expectations were all over the board. On the low side was around a 10 million opening day but that extended all the way up to some predictions of a five day take larger than that of The Dark Knight. While ...

Still with only four months until release the opportunity to do so is limited and makes it a difficult task. Owen Good at Kotaku (and also featured on Deadspin) ...

NBC Cancels Trauma
As announced yesterday NBC will not be ordering any new episodes of the freshman show Trauma. The original pickup was for 13 episodes and those will air as planned. Trauma was easily the most expensive new program for NBC this year and despite decent ratings it wasn't enough to keep the show going. This move has led to speculation that Chuck will take over Trauma's Monday night at 9PM time slot and be coupled with Heroes. Six additional episodes of Chuck have also apparently been ordered ...
