Friday Box Office: Horrible Bosses Opens With Not-Horrible $9.9 Million

The summer of comedies continues! Buoyed by a Hangover -friendly marketing campaign and some happily strong reviews, the Seth Gordon-directed Horrible Bosses earned $9.9 million at the box office on Friday to land in a solid second place; if the numbers hold, Bosses will be the fourth R-rated comedy to open with more than $25 million this summer. Fellow newcomer Zookeeper landed in third place, with a solid $7.4 million — roughly $2 million less than the Kevin James-led Paul Blart earned on its first Friday. That film received a family friendly bump throughout its opening weekend, and you can bet Sony executives are hoping the same holds true for this one. Oh, and Transformers: Dark of the Moon dominated again. Your Friday box office is here.

Solitary Man, Girlfriend Experience Duo to Adapt Neil Strauss’s Pick-up Tome The Game

According to The Hollywood Reporter, MGM will team up with A Solitary Man writer Brian Koppelman and director David Levien to bring Neil Strauss’s dating how-to book The Game to the big screen. Others have tried before to make Strauss’s best-selling pick-up tome into a film, but maybe Koppelman and Levien are the right guys for the job; after all, they gave Michael Douglas a great vehicle playing a skeevy womanizer in A Solitary Man . Maybe they can do the same for magician-turned-pick-up artist Mystery?

Is Kevin James the New Chris Farley?

I didn’t make the rules, girls, but it appears that Kevin James has reached a point in his career where he can look back and say, “I’m like if Chris Farley had it together!” I’m going to get out this comparison’s way and let the late SNL star and Zookeeper topliners’ careers speak for themselves.

9 Milestones in the Evolution of Kevin Spacey

In this weekend’s Horrible Bosses , Kevin Spacey plays Jason Bateman’s sadistic supervisor, a business director so despicable that he kind of deserves the extreme punishment Batemen, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day would like to inflict. How did Spacey transform himself from the guy simply credited as “Subway Thief” in Mike Nichols’ Heartburn to a two-time Oscar winner and summer blockbuster draw?

How Horrible! No Jugs from JenAn in Horrible Bosses

Horrible news, Skin fans- as is all too common in skinland, those rumors that Jennifer Aniston would break the boob barrier in the new movie Horrible Bosses turned out to be just that- rumors. In a new interview with the Chicago Sun-Times promoting the film, Jennifer plays it cool on the subject of boobs: “I have no idea where those rumors started, but it’s a good rumor,” she said. “How do these things start?” Uhm, how about your own studio? Press materials for Horrible Bosses said Jennifer filmed a topless scene for the movie, and the source of this rumor is almost certainly the studio themselves. But don’t be sore- Jennifer had a good time playing the sex-crazed Dr. Harris, and it shows on screen: “It’s usually the male character in that role. That’s why I thought of her like a guy,” she explained. “Other than that I just stuck to what was in the script. I didn’t have any input as to what she said. That was all on the page. And I was tickled and excited. The raunchier, the better.” Mr. Skin’s Skin Skouts saw Horrible Bosses before it opened in theaters, and while Jen does get raunchy, there’s no nudes in sight. Get the Horrible truth after the jump!

Does Horrible Bosses Have Non-Horrible Nudity?

America’s teat-heart Jennifer Aniston costars in Horrible Bosses, but her butt in The Break Up is truly boss. On DVD, Natassia Malthe strips down and lezzes out in Bloodrayne: The Third Reich, while Julie Brown (the white one) bares awesome T&A in Bloody Birthday.

REVIEW: Project Nim Is Partly About Chimp Behavior, But Mostly About Humans

In Project Nim we are invited to observe the tics, tweaks, and expressive details embedded in the story of a behavioral experiment as told by the social scientists who attempted to raise a chimpanzee as a human being. The camera is its own kind of cage, and director James Marsh ( Man on Wire ) frames all of the key players in the quintessentially 1970’s project as captive specimens. Each interview subject sits before the same gray background and is introduced with a showy, investigative pan; a second pan away signals that subject’s release from the narrative. Between pans the players speak to the camera, and their emotions, aversions, contradictions and language choices embellish the oral history with unintended ironies. Very quickly it becomes clear that the life of Nim Chimpsky is foremost a story about the human animal, and human behavior.
