Conan O’B rien’s multi-million-dollar, Mario-evoking studio on the Universal Studios lot is no more. Vulture reports that the new TBS frontman will be heading to the Warner Bros. lot to tape his upcoming basic cable late-nighter. As for the old digs? They should be able to host at least eleven of Jay Leno’s classic cars. [ Vulture ]

If David Fincher can mainstream himself enough to direct a megabudget family tentpole , Steven Soderbergh can shoot his next studio film in 3D. He’ll be doing just that with the star-laden virus thriller Contagion , it was announced today — a fact made more interesting by Soderbergh’s tendency to lens all his movies himself. Of course, he’d hoped to crack that visual frontier first with his musical Cleo , but alas, bedbug crazy campfests with Catherine Zeta-Jones singing Guided by Voices are awfully hard to mount. [ Coming Soon ]

Break up Universal! While the beleaguered studio’s Robin Hood may not have been able to notch the No. 1 spot on Friday, It will gladly take a $13 million opening on the way to a likely $36 million weekend. (It will handily break $100 million worldwide). That’s about $10 million off the pace of Iron Man 2 , which suffered a Friday-to-Friday drop of more than 70 percent. Letters to Juliet and Just Wright opened at what you might call “modest” and “soft,” respectively, while A Nightmare on Elm Street closed off the Top 5 for the last time in its lucrative, miserable run. Full figures after the jump.

Jennifer Love Hewitt, you’ve got some competition. The trailer for Zac Efron’s new film Charlie St. Cloud has made its way online, and it casts the former Taylor Lautner as a smart, rich, loving, yachting, Stanford-bound mensch who loves to wear sleeveless shirts. Can it get even better for our hero? It can: an accident leaves him able to talk to ghosts. Well, one in particular.

Sweet! Yesssss! Or gosh! Insert whichever ironic exultation you want to borrow from Napolean Dynamite here: Fox has revealed it’s developing an animated adaptation of the indie sleeper hit. Director Jared Hess and stars Jon Heder and Efran Ramirez are all participating. Not much more is known at the moment, but the 10 or so hipsters who still have their “Vote For Pedro” T-shirts will no doubt be happy to have that fashion option back. [ The Live Feed ]

We told you not long ago about Rubber , the Cannes title about a homicidal radial tire on the loose in the California desert. Here’s another juicy morsel from this year’s program to tide you over until something more palatable (or even more ridiculous than Rubber ) is served on the Riviera.

Veronica Callahan’s defibrillators have been shut down. NBC’ s first-season drama Mercy , like its extreme counterpart Trauma , has been canceled . I’m unsurprised with both decisions but only disappointed with Mercy . Taylor Schilling was irreverent but sincere in the lead role, Jaime Lee Kirchner won me over as Nurse Sonia, and Michelle Trachtenberg seemed poised for a full mainstream takeover in her first big network role. And to think how excited this cast was when they found out they were picked up for a back nine — at a strip club . [ THR ]

The Say Whaaaa? Singers are off this week, closely monitoring the news that Lindsey Lohan may skip her court-mandated alcohol-education classes to attend Cannes. While I wait for them to report back, I’ve got an incredulous dispatch of my own to file: Tyler Perry was robbed! (And not just of a Best Screenplay Oscar nomination for The Family That Preys , either!) Now, the multi-hyphenate wants your help in finding the “idiot” who ran up his credit card bill by more than $28,000 in nine days .

Dark and queer enough to catch your attention but lacking the story power to hold it, Metropia is an aesthetic in search of an author. The first animated feature from Swedish director Tarik Saleh, Metropia posits a familiar scenario — middle-class male malaise — in a near-future Europe made exotic by its fall into dystopian ruin. The allusions made by the opening titles to the environmental and financial crises that have ostensibly brought Europe together (the countries have been literally connected by an inter-continental subway system) are a little misleading: As they attempt to build a paranoid allegory around the monolithic potential of the European Union, Saleh and writer Fredrik Edin move further and further into the experience of a call-center employee named Roger (voiced by Vincent Gallo). Ultimately this approach shrinks the scope of a setting that seems designed for bigger things.

Medium turns a corner this week as Allison (Patricia Arquette) must go the Rex Harrison root to help find a missing woman — that’s right, she’s talking to the animals. I’d hope that a woodsy owl would speak in a British accent and tell her he was in the parlor room at the time of the murder, but the reality is much better (and more salient to the Arquette family) than that. Hold your Golden Retriever close, pray he’s not gossiping with your loved ones, and settle in for spooks.
