Friday Box Office: New Year’s Eve Fizzles in First

What the saying again? You can fool some moviegoers all the time and all moviegoers some of the time, but you can’t fool all of them all the time? Something like that — maybe we should ask Warner Bros., Garry Marshall and all the stars stuffed so ruthlessly into New Year’s Eve , who recycled the model that earned the aromatic Valentine’s Day a $56 million opening weekend and found less than a third of that crowd ready to fall for it again. Still, it will be enough for first place on a pillow-soft weekend. Your Friday Box Office is here.

Happy Friday! Now that all the “real” news is out of the way, let’s focus on the things we really care about — namely, that Jodie Foster’s estranged 89-year-old father Lucius was sentenced to five years in jail for taking $130,000 in down payments for homes he never built.

Casting 3 Celebrity Airplane Snafus That Should Be Movies

I love when celebrities can’t behave on airplanes. Travel is the only occasion where they can’t hide from plebes, and I imagine it hurts them tremendously even to acknowledge the tiny plastic cups of Diet Coke around them. Or the little Wheat Thins packets.

Come fly with these lunatics!
