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

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

Why hasn’t Vince Vaughn promoted ‘Four Christmases’?
Reese Witherspoon hit the publicity trail hard for her comedy Four Christmases with Vince Vaughn. She’s been doing the late night TV circuit and has granted plenty of interviews. While Reese’s perma-grin has been plastered all over magazines, Vaughn has done nary an interview. He also didn’t show up to the premiere of Four Christmases in LA. There was an interview with Vince in Esquire Magazine that came out earlier this month that kept mentioning how fat he was, but apart from that I coul

Vince Vaughn & Reese Witherspoon Revel in “Four Christmases”
The vampires were only a hot item for about a week as Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon’s surprising hit comedy “Four Christmases” easily won the box office top spot with a take of $46.7 million in the 4-day holiday weekend run. If that estimated amount hold, it would make the comedy the third-best Thanksgiving weekend opener ever, after Toy Story 2 ($80M) and last year’s Enchanted ($49M). It’s also a best for Vaughn since ‘The Break-Up’, and it’s Witherspo

Four Christmases? We Should Be So Lucky!
Are you struck by a sense of deja vu whenever the trailer for Four Christmases plays? And not just because Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon are reprising their respective fast-talking funnyman and girl-next-door schticks. With all the various ways Christmas is celebrated around the world, is it too much to ask for some cinematic variety? Apparently so. Every year we're presented with two tired-old Christmas movie themes -- Zany Frantic Slapfest and Comforting Holiday Heart-Warmer. See how to spot

US critics wild for ‘Happy’
Wow. I was expecting a warm Stateside reception for Mike Leigh’s “Happy-Go-Lucky,” but even so, this is exceptional. For those who place stock in such things, the film’s Metacritic score is sitting at 82, but more importantly, some top critics have fallen hard for this one. If the film’s awards hopes seemed to be slipping oh-so-slightly following a respectable but slightly muted festival showing last month, these reviews should give it a second wind. Sally Hawkins, in particul

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.
