My Week With Marilyn just hit theaters, but producers of the Michelle Williams vehicle are already thinking about their next move for the late blond bombshell: They want to take it to Broadway, with Katy Perry as the lead! Producer Harvey Weinstein tells E! he wants to develop a Broadway musical based on the movie, which stars Michelle Williams as Monroe (see trailer below). My Week With Marilyn Trailer “If the movie works, I would try to make a musical and go to [ Katy Perry ] first. I think she can play Marilyn on the Broadway stage… I think she would be amazing.” Why? For one, Perry has become a cheerleader of sorts for the flick. A remix of her hit “The One That Got Away” is being used in a new trailer for My Week With Marilyn . She’s also got one heck of a musical following. “Katy posted about it on Twitter and Facebook and the next thing you know 250,000 people have downloaded the trailer in an hour,” Weinstein said. Perry also did a recreation of Monroe for a video for “Teenage Dream” that was used for a 90-second commercial for German TV show Star Force . What do you think? Could she pull it off?!
Becoming one of the biggest names in rap/hip-hop/pop, Nicki Minaj is having one heck of a year. With this new honor from Billboard, it’s going to get even bigger. She is slated to receive the honor of Rising Star of 2011 at Billboard’s “Women in Music” event on December 2 in New York City. She will no doubt look ridiculous. Minaj said she was “deeply honored to be recognized by Billboard ” and that she and her fans”mighty long way” but are not close to where “God will take us.” A classic moment in a year full of them for Nicki Minaj . With her talent and style, the rapper/singer has emerged as one of music’s most popular entertainers since releasing her debut album Pink Friday late last year. Her hits include “Super Bass” and “Moment 4 Life,” and she’s collaborated with many other big names. She’ll have one of her biggest fans on hand next Friday: Taylor Swift will be honored as Woman of the Year. Anyone surprised?
What to say? The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 soared to the staggering Friday predicted by pretty much everyone: $72 million, to be precise, setting Bill Condon’s first installment of the franchise swan song on a pace for a $140 million-plus weekend. The competition didn’t stand a chance, with Happy Feet Two choking on Twilight ‘s dust way back around the $6 million mark. Your Friday Box Office is here.
Latest ‘Twilight’ entry has third-highest opening day ever. By Ryan J. Downey Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner in “Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” Photo: Summit “Twilight” fans came out in force Friday and made sure “Breaking Dawn” broke records. “The Twilight Saga” may be drawing to a close, but there’s nothing close to a slowdown at the box office. Estimates put the Friday numbers for the second-to-last entry in the series at $138 million around the world, as “Breaking Dawn” rolled out in 54 global markets. The domestic box office received a welcome 11 percent boost from the same period last year, thanks to the legions of “Twilight” fans. Midnight showings helped propel “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” past “The Dark Knight,” “Transformers” and most of the “Potter” movies in the all-time opening-day box-office record books. “Breaking Dawn – Part 1” enjoyed the third-highest opening day ever with a projected $72 million in domestic receipts, according to studio estimates. The first part of Edward, Bella and Jacob’s final chapter together didn’t manage to beat the opening day of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” or 2009’s “New Moon,” but it was a close race between the “Twilight” films. “New Moon” opened with $72.7 million, and final calculations could change the outcome between the two. “Twilight” fans who endured long lines for midnight showings accounted for $30.25 million of the “Breaking Dawn” first day-number. Based on the receipts thus far, industry watchers predict an opening weekend in the $140 million range, which is more than Summit Entertainment’s conservative projections. That would give the latest “Twilight” the fifth-highest opening weekend ever behind “Deathly Hallows, Part 2,” “The Dark Knight,” “Spider-Man 3” and “New Moon.” “Eclipse” opened with $68.5 million; the first “Twilight” debuted with $36 million. Critics savaged director Bill Condon’s first foray into Stephenie Meyer territory, but audiences have told a different story. “Breaking Dawn – Part 1” scored a paltry 27 percent on film review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes , but audiences have given it a B+ CinemaScore. “Eclipse” and the first film remain tied as the best-reviewed in the series, with 49 percent each on the Tomatometer. As expected, nothing else in theaters had anything close to the momentum of the continuing “Twilight” phenomenon. Despite additional revenue from 3-D showings, “Happy Feet 2” opened with less than half of the previous movie’s first day in 2006. The animated feature (which once again features the voice of “The Lord of the Rings” star Elijah Wood) took in just $5.9 million, according to studio estimates. Last weekend’s #1 movie, “Immortals,” was down 74 percent with $3.82 million. That decline is much worse than comparable swords-and-sandals action pictures like “300” and “Clash of the Titans.” The horribly reviewed Adam Sandler vehicle “Jack and Jill” made $3.5 million in its second Friday in theaters. “Puss in Boots” dropped steeply but has earned well over $100 million in the last few weeks. Well over a decade ago, the big box-office story started with a T as well: “Titanic” was on its way to become the highest-grossing movie of all time (later surpassed by “Avatar”) and the heartthrob generating all the heat was Leonardo DiCaprio, not Robert Pattinson. Nowadays, the 37-year-old actor and philanthropist is all grown up and starring in director Clint Eastwood’s “J. Edgar” biopic. The limited-release period drama dropped 58 percent on its second Friday and has generated an estimated $16.6 million thus far. The movie certainly wasn’t conceived as a blockbuster. DiCaprio still has summer-movie clout: “Inception” has grossed nearly $300 million since it was released in July 2010.

We’re glad Rozay is taking his recent health scare more seriously than he seemed to initially. According to TMZ , Rozay has cancelled the second show he had scheduled for this weekend. With his health still a major concern, Rick Ross has decided to play it easy this weekend … rescheduling his L.A. concert for 2012 so he can focus on his recovery. As TMZ first reported, Rick suffered two seizures last week before a performance in Memphis — which he canceled — and promoters think it’s still too soon for Ross to get back on stage. Promoters believe Ross needs more time to get better — so they contacted his people and the two camps agreed to reschedule the L.A. performance to January. Promoters also tell TMZ, “Pushing [Ross] to do a show that he was not prepared to do was not beneficial to anyone.” Yesterday, our sister site HipHopWired.com reported that Rozay’s Atlanta performance, which was scheduled for this Friday as part of Georgia State University homecoming festivities had also been cancelled. While Ross has yet to speak about his health and there are still no details about exactly what caused him to have two seizures in one day , at least three of his friends have revealed in recent interviews that they are encouraging him to chill and focus on his health, and that he is absolutely taking it light.
What if Hollywood reformatted the plot of Mr. & Mrs. Smith from he-spy vs. she-spy to be he-spy vs. he-spy over the same she? Then you would have This Means War , the upcoming action comedy from McG which stars Tom Hardy (with his real accent!) and Chris Pine as two secret agents who go head-to-head after learning they are dating the same woman, played by Reese Witherspoon. Oh, and did I mention that This Means War also marks Chelsea Handler’s live action blockbuster debut?
