Four Christmases Yammers To Top Of Weekend Box Office
In fact, Four Christmases has done so much better that it’s the top movie at the US weekend box office this week, beating off cultish vampire phenomenons, big-budget historical epics and dumb actioners alike.
That’s great news for Vince Vaughn and the cast and crew of Four Christmases, but don’t think that first paragraph was a compliment - just to add a little bit of perspective, here’s a list of other things that are better than Fred Claus: Bridge To Terabithia, I Now Pronounce Yo
Reese Witherspoon’s Big Box Office
Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon, whose holiday comedy Four Christmases took in $31.1 million to open as the top weekend movie. Four Christmases beat out Bolt, Twilight, and Quantum of Solace at the box office.
The 32-year-old actress spent Thanksgiving with boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal and actress pal Gwyneth Paltrow, while ex-husband Ryan Phillippe spent Thanksgiving with their children.
Four Christmases, Won Thanksgiving
Americans defied the credit crunch this weekend to make the Thanksgiving holiday ultra-boffo, as they’d probably say over at Variety. Three high-profile new releases duked it out with some strong holdovers for the top spot and, when the dust had settled, one thing was clear: Vince Vaughn > vampires.
Four Christmases, the broad Vince Vaughn-Reese Witherspoon comedy, was the undisputed champ of both the three-day and five-day frames, pulling in an estimated $31.6 million and $46.7 million respectivel

Thanksgiving Weekend Box Office Report: Twilight Lost It’s Gleam
Poor Rob and Kristen just don’t have the star power that Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon have to carry a movie. Surprisingly, Twilight only made $26.4 million for the three-day weekend average and $39.5 million total for the 5-day holiday period starting Wednesday.
In first place came the zany holiday comedy Four Christmases with $31.7 million for the 3-day weekend and $46.7 million from Wednesday. To be completely honest, I never thought this movie would have done that well. It doesn’t appe
Vince Works It Out For the Christmas Season
Vince Vaughn threw on some workout clothes and went for a hike with a friend in LA yesterday. Looks like someone is getting in shape before he kicks off his promotional tour for Four Christmases, and Vince is looking pretty fit these days. Even if Reese isn't looking forward to the many interviews and photo ops ahead, it will probably be nothing but cute quotes and big smiles from this pair of professionals.

Tricia: Let it Breathe
A lot of people I know do not like this look at all - wearing a dress with ankle boots. It’s a little off. Isn’t it much much sexier to wear a dress with strappy sandals or peep toes? Come>Her shoes reminds me of a stove top clothes iron. Just saying…

Oh my what a horrible dress! Ruching details didn’t do anything in trying to mask the ugliness of this dress. And Anastacia wore this to an event? I wouldn’t wear that inside my house, my doggie might see. Cover your eyes doggy.

Men Must Always Be Watchful
Newish one-sheets for a pair of major year-end releases came through yesterday -- the Australian-market poster for Baz Luhrman's Australia (which opens in Oz on Thursday, 11.13, according to the IMDB, preceding its Wednesday,11.26 U.S. release by 13 days) and a fresh image -- less communal, emphasis on Daniel Craig's studliness -- for Ed Zwick's Defiance (Paramount Vantage , 12.12). The latter was exclusively previewed late yesterday afternoon by Kris Tapley's In Contention.

Brand New AUSTRALIA Poster
I’m in Ohio right now, and the only thing I don’t like being in the east coast is the time difference, my body is not adjusting very well. Cross your finger so that I won’t fall sick. While I’m trying to rest a bit, here’s the new poster, via traileraddict, of the upcoming epic drama AUSTRALIA (click on the image to enlarge) starring two Aussie pride and joy, Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Could this be in the same caliber as the classic film Casablanca?

Kidman Shows Baby Sunday The Paris Sites
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban showed us Sunday's precious face visiting Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais in Paris today after last night's Australia premiere. On the red carpet, Nicole was joined by Hugh Jackman and while the movie may not have opened big in America, the reviews aren't terrible and of course the wardrobe is romantic and beautiful. At a press conference Nicole clarified recent statements she made about leaving acting. She said, "The rhythm of my life has certainly changed. In my teens an
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urband Step Out in Style

Reese Witherspoon Kills Vampires At Box Office
Using a stake of good cheer straight to the heart, Four Christmases star Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn easily overtook the vampire romance Twilight at the box office this past weekend.
Four Christmases Earns $31.7 Million at the Weekend Box Office
Did you see Four Christmases with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn? I did, and it was hilarious. I don’t laugh throughout the entire movie of pretty much anything, but when one funny scene was finished, another one began.
You know how a lot of comedies have like one or two funny scenes? Not this one. A lot of folk also don’t think Reese and Vince are a believable couple - I could care less. If two people make me laugh, you could pair up Star Jones with Matt Damon. If it’s funny, I don
