Some of us were too busy this weekend taking in Martha Marcy May Marlene and Margin Call to bother with such plebeian fare as Paranormal Activity 3 , but I suppose I’ll acknowledge the found footage thriller’s big feat this weekend: Not only did it jazz up a comatose box office, it also notched the highest opening ever for a horror movie. Fancy! Click through for all the notable grosses and help me lament Johnny English’s stateside downfall.

You’ve never seen an Olsen twins movie, have you? Have you ? You’ve never twisted your hair into braids like Hailee Steinfeld and discovered How the West was Fun or booked a trip to the UK for Winning London . You’ve never personally discovered that, indeed, It Takes Two . God. Now that you’ve admitted you have nothing in common with true cinéastes, allow me to educate you: Today we’re visiting the quaint Manhattan of New York Minute , the Olsens’ 2004 big-screen bomb costarring more than a few people you respect. Since their sister Elizabeth is defying cult order in Martha Marcy May Marlene this week, the least we can do is honor the original Olsens for their enslaved followers. These zealots prefer their Kool-Aid straight-up.
Her sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley may have been celebrities since birth, but Elizabeth Olsen insists that their fame never affected the family dynamic. “I consider myself so very lucky to have such a normal family,” the youngest Olsen sis and Martha Marcy May Marlene actress tells October’s Nylon . The 22-year-old, who attended a private school in Beverly Hills for 13 years, says she was surrounded by “super-creative” kids. Rich, famous kids. “The weird thing is that everyone’s family was a part of this industry,” she says. “Everyone is always like, ‘What have you learned from your sisters?'” “But it didn’t really have to do with my sisters at all. Like, my best friend’s father [Rick Baker] is a makeup-artist, but he’s won seven Oscars!” “Another one of my friends, her family created Days of Our Lives .” She credits her father, David, for instilling the values of hard work in the girls. “It was always very important that his daughters take care of themselves, be financially independent. He never liked the idea of us needing a man.” She may never be AS financially secure as her sisters, whose GDP is that of a small continent. But have you seen Elizabeth Olsen in GQ ? HOT! Which of the Olsens would you most like to …

Ever since its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival , Movieline — as well as pretty much anyone who has seen Martha Marcy May Marlene — has been predicting an Oscar nomination for its breakout leading lady Elizabeth Olsen . Now, thanks to two more haunting trailers from Fox Searchlight , you can double dose on Olsen’s apparently brilliant work as a young woman trying to move past her eerie cult experience and wonder again, “Will Olsen be this year’s Jennifer Lawrence?”

Well, I got the bidding-war part right, but I’m somewhat surprised to hear Fox Searchlight was the one to grab the tiny, acclaimed rehabbing-cult-member drama Martha Marcy May Marlene off the Sundance market. The distributor closed the deal this afternoon; neither a sale price nor a release date are set, but count on fall 2011 for an Elizabeth Olsen awards push . And alternate title suggestions remain welcome! [ Fox Searchlight ]
Besides Fox Searchlight’s surprising acquisition of Martha Marcy May Marlene , high-profile sales at Sundance slowed some yesterday. There were a few pick-ups, including Ridley Scott’s You Tube project and a New York Times documentary, but the bigger deals yesterday seemed to be for remake rights to documentaries. Danny McBride and David Gordon Green even got in on the action! Details on all of the business after the jump, including more Elizabeth Olsen.
