...pulled in $30.2 million - far above the three-day tally for the 2007 original. This is the fourth $30 million-plus opening for a Perry movie, though the revenue usually drops quickly in succeeding weeks. (His last four films earned at least 45% of their total take in the first three days.) Spending just $20 million a pop on raucous, sentimental, semi-sacred comedies and melodramas that enthrall his mostly African-American fans twice a year, Perry deserves to be dubbed Tyler the Titan.

Miley Cyrus, another moneymaker whose films are pretty much off the blockbuster radar, enjoyed a decent opening of $16.2 million, and $25.6 million for its first five days, for The Last Song.

...depression, Apple's latest innovation (or feat of technological repackaging) has been hailed as a potential savior: the entry point for print to become a whole new medium while preserving its essential identity. Since TIME's iPad app was also debuting on Saturday, it would be the first app I would download. (Get TIME's iPad...
...took the iPad to dinner with journalist friends that first evening. Everyone expressed interest, but we kept the machine to the side while we gossiped about other things. We did call upon it to answer trivia: What kind of movie career did Farrah Fawcett have? Was it insignificant enough to justify her exclusion from the Oscars' annual montage of farewells last month? (Answer: She made Cannonball Run but was quite good in The Apostle. Otherwise, she was a TV star.) It was easier to look the information up on the iPad rather than switch on a computer or fumble through...
