SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 6, 2000 -- "Scary Movie" has a good shot at scaring up this weekend's biggest grosses.
"I think it's going to open to north of $20 million, maybe $25 million," a studio executive speculates in view of its 27 percent overall first-choice tracking.

HOLLYWOOD, July 11, 2000 -- Oscar winners Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have joined Miramax Television and HBO in a project titled "Greenlight," in which an aspiring filmmaker will receive $1 million and the chance to direct his or her debut feature. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the project will be chronicled by HBO and aired in a 13-episode, half-hour "reality" series on HBO, beginning with Damon and Affleck selecting the winner and ending with the director walking down a red carpet for the movie's premiere, Miramax Television President Billy Campbell said.
The filmmaker will also get to talk with directors, including Kevin Williamson and Kevin Smith, who found success with their debut projects.
