...five Globes and won none, is the season's biggest box-office disappointment: just $18.1 million on an $80 million budget. At this rate, Rob Marshall's star-clogged downer won't even earn as much as a modest CGI sci-fi feature released early this fall: 9 will outgross Nine. The Weinstein Co. will suffer a plague of red ink, while Cameron is declared king of the universe...
...performance of Ice Age 3, which over its first five days did outgross Transformers, was a bit spottier. Benefiting from the hiked prices for 3-D showings (which brought in about 40% of the take), the movie still earned less in those five days than 2006's Ice Age: The Meltdown did in its first three.

...Tokyo office building, he seems positively serene just days before the highest-profile movie release of his career. Kameyama predicts that Bayside Shakedown 2 will be one of Japan's biggest films of the year, perhaps one of the biggest of all time. Does he really think it will outgross imported heavyweights such as The Matrix Reloaded, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle and Terminator 3. "Yes, I do," he says matter-of-factly. "I am confident that we can beat all those movies...
