... months before the next installment comes out. Only screen it for two weeks and see if you can generate some solid revenue. It’s likely to work well, but because the package is bowing only in 3-D on 1745 screens and it’s over 3 hours of movie time, both films will be shown on average only three times a day.

Entertainment Weekly gave it a “meh” review but if the joyfully optimistic trailer is any clue, it looks like an exciting venture back into a slightly ...
‘Whip It’ star Juliette Lewis: ‘I lied that I could skate’

... “This is terrible. This is not how I want to start the day,” says Juliette Lewis , already shooting off sparks of energy as she apologizes for arriving a few minutes late at a Toronto hotel room for an interview. It’s 10:30 a.m. on Sept. 13, and she’s at Toronto Film Festival for the world premiere of Drew Barrymore’s Whip It (out today), the roller-derby drama in which Lewis plays, in her own words, the “resident badass.” Of course, it’s hard to blame the actress for sleeping in. She had just jetted in from Europe, where she was promoting her new album, Terra Incognita , ...
