Temperatures plunged this weekend — but enough about the box-office heat foreseen for this week’s new openings and even a few holdovers. Grab a snow shovel and let’s get to digging ourselves out of the icy trap also known as Weekend Receipts.

In this weekend’s Puss in Boots , Antonio Banderas voices the swashbuckling title cat — a peripheral Shrek character who became so popular that he earned his own $130 million DreamWorks prequel. So just how did Antonio Banderas transform himself from Madonna’s sexual prey in Truth or Dare to a sword-wielding predator in both live-action and animated formats?

It doesn’t hit theaters until August 2012, but the first trailer for ParaNorman , Focus’s animated followup to 9 and Coraline , is a playful stop-motion glimpse into the mind of a boy (Kodi Smit-McPhee) who can speak to the dead. He’s called upon when his town comes under zombie siege. Thus far, it looks about as droll and fun as James and the Giant Peach , which is about the best compliment I can give.

What is this strange retro fascination the kids have these days with watching old crappy horror movies on — what was it called again? V-H-S ? The New York Times investigates. “I like putting it in the VCR and rewinding and pausing and fast-forwarding,” said Lunchmeat founder Josh Shafer. “The best way to watch is to know nothing about how it was created, like it was a tape that was found buried in a ditch or was found unmarked at a Goodwill,” explains Drafthouse Films’ Evan Husney. See kids, once upon a time there were these things called videotapes … that you rented from video stores … before the internet existed . Yes, I know. That’s a lot to digest. Let the nice Gray Lady explain it to you. [ NYT ]

This December 16, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol premieres in IMAX five days in advance of its general release. Why exactly? Probably to encourage fans of the Tom Cruise franchise to see the picture in the large format director Brad Bird intended when he shot thirty minutes-worth of the fourth Ethan Hunt film in IMAX. To convince journalists that the large format is indeed worth higher ticket prices, an advance release date and a little early buzz, Paramount screened about 20 minutes worth of wild action sequences at the Rave 18 theater in Los Angeles last week. Ahead, the stomach-flipping details (and very mild spoilers).

Alfred Hitchcock and Cecil B. DeMille might have been able to successfully redo their own movies, but more recent auto-remakes, especially ones that find directors cranking out a U.S. version of their own foreign-language hit, have been a motley crew. The best, like Michael Haneke’s 2007 Funny Games and Takashi Shimizu’s The Grudge , tend to be merely functional enterprises that revisit what worked the first time around with added English-speaking and possibly more famous actors. But others highlight in a painfully clear way the compromises that so often come with working in Hollywood. Ole Bornedal’s wan Nightwatch lost the nasty edge of the Danish original and retained no other distinguishing characteristics, and George Sluizer’s 1993 The Vanishing ditched the finale of his 1988 Spoorloos , an uncompromisingly bleak and great ending, for a studio-friendly happy one that undoes everything toward which the first film built.

Mamma Mia! is a celebrated American film where Meryl Streep tries to convince you she’s brain-damaged for 108 minutes. She has no guess as to who birthed her blonde, blue-eyed, ABBA -squawking daughter, but she’ll storm about a sunny Grecian isle until we all agree to forget she’s doing this for an obese stack of cash. What a Swedish fishy musical this is! It gives Stockholm Syndrome to thinking people. Let’s watch it 30 times, channel Agnetha and Anni-Frid using ethereal harmonies and beige lipstick, and recount the five greatest musical numbers in this insane, aquamarine spectacle of light, sound and sheer embarrassment.
