FIRST BOX OFFICE: Puss In Boots #1, Paranormal Activity 3 #2, Over Time #3, The Rum Diary #4, Footloose #5

FRIDAY PM UPDATE: Sources are giving me these early United States box office amounts which is refined later at night. DreamWorks Animation’s leader Puss In Boots written by Vital is poised to interrupt the Halloween weekend record. The Shrek spinoff’s opening is consistent with 2011′s other non-summer time animated three dimensional hits like Rio ($39m) and Rango ($39M).Only one rival studio professional snarked in my experience tonight, “What will DWA consider a dent within the $30sM? Dunno, but it may be a lot more like Puss In Cement Boots.” Fox’s sci-fi thrillerIn Time with Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried is soft thinking about the wide release. (It’s obvious since Justin, while gifted, isn't any superstar.)Whereas FilmDistrict’sThe Rum Diary withJohnny Depp is carrying out light not surprisingly.Didn’t he get this to movie before and wasn’t it known as Fear And Loathing? (“Yes, with similar hungover result. Ouch,” one rival studio professional reminded me.) Full analysis coming. Here’s the very best 5 for the time being: 1. Puss In Boots (Dreamworks Animation/Vital) NEW [3,952 Theaters] Friday $9.3M, Believed Weekend $37M 2. Paranormal Activity 3 (Vital) Week 2 [3,329 Theaters] Friday $7M (-70%), Believed Weekend $20.5M, Believed Cume $73M 3) Over Time (Fox) NEW [3,001 Theaters] Friday$4.5M, Believed Weekend $13M 4) The Rum Diary (FilmDistrict) NEW [2,272 Theaters] [2,272 Theaters] Friday$2M, Believed Weekend $6M 5) Footloose (Vital) Week 3 [3,224 Theaters] Friday $1.8M, Believed Weekend $5.5M, Believed Cume $38M

About the Time the Twilight Cast Broke Into a Flash Mob Dance Battle on the Set of Breaking Dawn...

Bill Condon rang Movieline today for a special early chat about The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part One, and while the full interview will post this weekend, we’ve got a snippet to whet your appetite. Between talk of vampire weddings and critical expectations and such, Condon shared a particularly fond memory of the time when, during filming of an epic battle scene from the simultaneously-filmed Breaking Dawn Part Two, the guy from The Fall led his entire cast in an impromptu flash mob dance-off to the sounds of the Eurythmics. Hear the tale after the jump! Word on the street was that filming on The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn was interrupted by a pre-meditated prank, pulled on Condon, by nearly his entire cast — a choreographed dance-off that took the director by surprise in the middle of a key battle scene. “It was one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen,” Condon told Movieline. He explained how it all happened. “In that second movie, as you know from the book, a half-hour of it takes place in this one location, this one field,” Condon said. “We shot there for, when you include the second unit, a couple of months — but the first unit was there for many weeks.” “When we came to the last, widest shot, with 80 vampires on one side and 27 vampires on the other, I’m sitting up the ladder and suddenly you hear this music — ‘Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).’ And the Cullen side starts this incredible, West Side Story-kind of rumble. The other vampires then start to dance back. It was unbelievably big.” Who was responsible for the vampire dance-off? “I know Myanna Buring was behind it, and Lee Pace,” Condon said. “There were a couple of others. I should figure out exactly who. But they kept it a secret! They rehearsed this number for a week, and kept it a secret. It was so great.” Luckily, Condon adds, “there was a lot of B-camera rolling.” There’s a very good chance it’ll make it onto the eventual Breaking Dawn DVD/Blu-ray, but there’s just one catch: It’s part of Breaking Dawn Part Two, which brings the saga to a close on November 16, 2012 — which means it could be over a year until the footage sees the light of day on home video. Check back this weekend for more of Movieline’s early chat with Condon (with even more Breaking Dawn Part One interviews to come in anticipation of the film’s November 18 release).

It's not coincidence the 2 stars have shared the screen several occasions before (most memorably inside the Anniversary Party and Josie as well as the Pussycats) and Cumming immediately suggested Posey for your part. "In my opinion Parker might be easily the funniest person ever. I really could just watch her walking all the time and think its fascinating.

Following Peter's re-election, Eli setup shop within Lockhart Gardner concentrating on crisis management cases between political campaigns.

He's kind of in denial relating to this fact," Cumming states. "In my opinion that he's guaranteed lots of their very own status on that therefore i think he'll go to date as they can. That could mean modifying Alicia to acquire what he wants. You never know, maybe Alicia and Peter will reconcile.Inch "There is a program to achieve that goal by whatever means."

Lawrence O'Donnell and Ed Schultz Swap Places on MSNBC Schedule

NY -- Lawrence O'Donnell and Ed Schultz will switch places on the MSNBC schedule. Beginning Monday, Oct. 24, The Last Word With Lawrence O'Donnell will go back to 10 p.m., while The Ed Show will lead off the night at 8 p.m.our editor recommendsLawrence O'Donnell Under Fire for Herman Cain Interview (Video)Keith Olbermann Out at MSNBC; Lawrence O'Donnell Takes Over TimeslotKeith Olbermann's Current TV Show to Air Opposite MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell (Report) The announcement came Wednesday from MSNBC president Phil Griffin who noted in a statement that the swap will "strengthen the flow of our programming throughout the evening." COVER STORY: The Confessions of Keith Olbermann He added that as the title of O'Donnell's show suggests, The Last Word "belongs at the conclusion of our programming day, thoughtfully wrapping up the day's political dialogue." The Rachel Maddow Show, which has become the network's highest-rated show since the departure of Keith Olbermann last January, will stay put at 9 p.m. PHOTOS: Keith Olbermann's Famous Feuds The Last Word premiered in the 10 p.m. time slot but was bumped to 8 p.m. when Olbermann abruptly left. And the decision to move it to 8 p.m. was somewhat rushed, given the nature of Olbermann's departure. Since moving to 8 p.m., O'Donnell has lost ground in the ratings since. Meanwhile CNN last August moved Anderson Cooper, the network's biggest star, into the 8 p.m. time slot. COVER STORY: Rachel Maddow: How This Wonky-Tonk Woman Won TV And September was a competitive month; though MSNBC continued to out-rate rival CNN for the recently concluded third quarter, CNN eked out a ratings win in the 25-54 demographic for the month of September, topping MSNBC 219,000 viewers to 207,000 in primetime (not including ratings for one Republican debate each). MSNBC insiders say moving The Last Word back to 10 p.m. has been on the table for sometime as the show was conceived as the clean-up hitter in the lineup. It will also mean that O'Donnell, who shuttles back-and-forth between NY and his home in Los Angeles, will go back to a four day a week schedule since the network airs longform programming Friday's at 10 p.m. But O'Donnell will anchor his show five nights a week during the high political season.

Charlie Kaufman's Latest Pretty Much Totally Spoiled, and 5 Other Stories You'll Be Talking About Today

Happy Monday! Also in today’s edition of The Broadsheet: Star Trek 2 is underway (sort of)… Awards-season gets raked over the critical coals (again)… Obvious questions about Taylor Lautner… Andrew Breitbart’s classy tribute to Janeane Garofalo… and more. · The weekend brought several updates regarding Charlie Kaufman’s next writing-directing project Frank or Francis, the newsiest of which is that Kevin Kline will appear alongside Steve Carell, Jack Black and Nicolas Cage. I won’t give anything else away, save to say that the rest is such an abject, almost pornographic binge of plot and script spoilers that it feels as though Kaufman is pranking movie bloggers into the very kind of behavior that he apparently wants to lampoon. It’s got to be a trick, right? And at any rate, wasn’t Kaufman’s unpredictability always supposed to be a fundamental part of his appeal? Did I miss the memo saying it’s OK to give his whole movie away before it’s even shot? Anyway, numerous spoilers follow at both of these links, which I provide as a both a matter of policy and a sincerest urging to protect your Kaufman-viewing experience by never clicking. [Variety, The Playlist] · Star Trek co-screenwriter Roberto Orci opened up a bit about the progress of the upcoming sequel, for which locations are currently being scouted. Sort of related: You know what movie would be awesome? Bad Lieutenant Uhura: Port of Call New Orleans. Think of the ass-kicking! The varieties of species! The tax breaks! Anyway.
