Democratic Convention Schedules Stars. Trade Roughage 08/25/08

Under discussion:
  • Tropic Thunder held up much better than expected in its second week, declining just 38% to take in $16.1 million. Its $16.1 was just enough to overcome The House Bunny’s $15.1. Meanwhile, The Rocker, The Longshots and Death Race basically bombed, and Vicky Cristina Barcelona proved that implied threesomes sell in the Midwest.
  • Ted Johnson has a long roundup of various celebrity-oriented events at the Democratic National Convention, to which I am en route as you read this. From the sound of things, the stars are outnumbered by journalists cranky about long lines, credential complications, and Port-a-Potties.
  • Despite the steady growth of outlets offering rentals or downloads of feature films, Scott Kirsner notes that many classic films (like Citizen Kane) and recent major blockbusters (like the Shrek films) are only available online illegally.
