SURPRISE! TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE IS ON TOP!

As if there were ever any doubt, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse found itself on top this July 4th weekend where it made $69 million this weekend. Oh, did I mention that since its opening Wednesday, it's already pulled in $161 million (aka more money than I will ever see in this lifetime)?

M. Night Shymalan's The Last Airbender from Paramount debuted in second this weekend with $40.7 million, which is not bad, but not anywhere near the $150 million which its studio invested in it. This is enough to keep Toy Story 3 in third after its two week reign, but still managing to pull in a staggering $30.2 million. Amazing.

CYRUS REVIEW

Although the story line of jealous Child versus Step-parent is nothing new, Fox Searchlight's Cyrus kicks things up a notch with some superb acting which never for a moment stops convincing us that these characters are real people with real drama.  Cyrus is full of laughs at the expense of unflattering moments and it appears that  Screenwriting/Directing brothers Jay and Mark Duplass have a Sleeper Hit on their hands.

John C. Reilly plays vulnerable John, who has never quite recovered from his divorce from ex-wife Jamie (Catherine Keener) seven years prior, even though he still remains friends with her despite her finding a new lover.  At her urging, John goes to a party to become acclimated once again with the world of Dating.  Despite lacking confidence, he does meet beautiful Molly (Marisa Tomei), with whom the sparks go a-flying.  Little does he know though that Molly has a full-grown son, Cyrus (Jonah Hill) with a dangerous Oedipus Complex, trying to sabotage her relationship with John.
