The Other Guys Knocks Inception Out of Top Spot at Box Office
As expected The Other Guys came in #1 at the box office this weekend though slightly exceeding industry expectations. Inception, which had won its first three weekends, slipped to #2 but again held extremely well. The other new opener Step Up 3D had a decent opening but didn't reach the heights that the first two in the series had. The Adam McKay directed The Other Guys, starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, made $35.6 million. The movie had heavy promotion and even got primarily good re...

Quentin Tarantino May Direct ‘The Shadow’
Pajiba is reporting that Quentin Tarantino is being rumored to direct and co-write The Shadow.
