A well-placed studio source told me this week that there’s probably only one "big-time" movie remaining on the release schedule for August, and, no surprise, it is Ben Stiller’s Tropic Thunder (Dreamworks/Paramount).
Hollywood is gearing for what is certain to be a spectacular 5-day 4th of July holiday movie-going period with two strong holdovers and a brand new PG-13-rated superhero picture starring the world’s biggest box office draw.
Sex and the City (Warner Bros), which enjoyed a meteoric $27M in sales in its first 24 hours, had a much quieter Saturday. At least 25 percent quieter. It looks like Sunday could add at least $14M for a truly remarkable $60M opening weekend.
Iron Man (Paramount) will almost certainly comfortably win a 2nd consecutive weekend at the box office as Speed Racer (Warner Bros) struggles to reach $30M. I have not been able to find a studio exec who believes that the Wachowski Brothers' adaptation of the late '60s anime cartoon classic will be able to outrun its bad industry tracking and generally negative reviews (only 29% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes as of Wednesday night).
I did a personal survey of studio sources Wednesday, and they were unanimous in saying that the release of Grand Theft Auto IV, the Xbox 360 and Sony Playstation 3 video game sensation released on Tuesday, will have absolutely no effect whatsoever on the box office performance of Iron Man this weekend.

Sir Nigel Hawthorne has become the victim of a smear campaign, the BBC reported. Banners were posted throughout Hawthorne's estate calling the actor a liar and warning people to keep away. Hertfordshire police issued a formal warning to the actor's former gardener, Roy Breaker-Rolfe, but he told the Daily Mail newspaper that he was not responsible. Breaker-Rolfe is reportedly embroiled in a civil dispute with Hawthorne. Neighbors in Hawthorne's Hertfordshire village have taken down a majority of the posters in his defense, claiming to like the 72-year old actor.
Robert Blake's murdered wife was planning to con Oscar-nominated actor Gary Busey months before her death, Blake's attorney, Harland Braun, told Reuters on Tuesday. According to Braun, Bakley targeted the actor and "had a list of people she was going to go after and his name was down for March 30, 2001." After contacting Busey, Braun said the actor said he had never heard from Bakley. Los Angeles police also has asked Braun to stop talking to the media about the case because it is interfering with the police's ability to investigate Bakley's murder. "We must remember that Bonny Lee Bakley is not the one under investigation," Garrett Zimmon, the commanding officer of the police department's Detective Services, said. "We need to be sensitive to that." Bakley's family has admitted that she had had legal problems in the past, but is infuriated with Braun trashing her reputation in order to divert away suspicion from Blake.
