"MEGAMIND" TO MAKE IT TWO-FOR-TWO AT BOX OFFICE


Still from Megamind
It's a Monster!  Megamind is likely to make it two weeks on top of the Box Office, with an estimated $26 million this weekend.  The Paramount film should surpass the $100 million mark by mid-week.  
Unstoppable from Fox starring Chris Pine and Denzel Washington opens strong with approximately $23.5 million from 3,365 theatres (about 700 less than Megamind) this weekend.   Despite landing on-top based on Friday night's numbers, with the weekend rush of families seeing Megamind, it will in all likelihood slip to second by the final tally. Reviews are strong with Rotten Tomatoes pegging it at 87% - one of the year's highest ratings.

Despite not faring well critically, Warner Bros.' Due Date slips to third spot this weekend with $16 million, still performing well after a debut in second last week.

Skyline, a Sci-Fi/Action from Alliance Atlantis/Universal/Relativity Media debuts with $12 million this weekend (it was made for only $10 million) despite much positive buzz surrounding it, putting it ahead of Paramount's Morning Glory starring Diane Keaton, Harrison Ford and Rachel McAdams which debuts in fifth with $9.4 million.

Red surprisingly still is doing quite well in seventh spot, five weeks after its release with $5 million, putting it just shy of the $80 million mark.

RACHEL MCADAMS AND CHANNING TATUM ON THE SET OF THE VOW IN TORONTO


Rachel McAdams & Mr. Will-W.
Canada's sweetheart Rachel McAdams, as many of you are aware, is back in her hometown of Toronto shooting Michael Sucsy's The Vow. Although we've seen plenty of her handsome co-star Channing Tatum around town, McAdams has been pretty low-key. There have been only been a few Twitter reports of McAdams these past couple weeks riding her Bike through Yorkville, or going out for a stroll in Kensington Market.

I went by this evening to visit the set of The Vow in the city's Financial District, where they were taking advantage of the reduced traffic with it being Labour Day. McAdams looked absolutely gorgeous sporting a red-haired wig and a navy blue dress, heading back and forth between her Trailer and the Set. And thanks to a wonderful sweetheart on the Crew, I was lucky enough to chat with the talented actress and snap a photo together before she headed out for the day. 

Upon being escorted under an Umbrella, she was all smiles coming over to greet a few young ladies also who were waiting earlier in the day and myself.  I gave McAdams a big hug and told her how proud I was of her and how much she's accomplished; graciously she accepted the compliment appearing genuinely touched and appreciative.   I did express my excitement to see her next projects: Morning Glory (opposite Diane Keaton and Harrison Ford) and Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris. The latter just wrapped-up a couple weeks ago and it seems she didn't get much of a breather between films. And of course, we both giggled about how much we love Allen, but she did whisper to me that unfortunately he'll only be here for a few hours this Sunday for his TIFF Gala for You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger. Could this possibly be a hint that we'll see McAdams there too?
