9月22日 A Nice View For LaBute One of my favorites, Neil LaBute, scored a hit with "Lakeview Terrace" -- an entertaining domestic thriller in which Sam Jackson screams at his neighbors a lot. There's an interesting study of white guilt going on within the picture, but the movie twists into pretty conventional territory by film end. It's not as socially challenging and gleefully insane as "The Wicker Man", which I fervently defend -- but how many movies can live up to that cult classic in the making?
From Entertainment Weekly:
"Samuel L. Jackson's 'Lakeview Terrace' defeated a trove of weak new competitors to walk away with the win this weekend, as the box office returned to its moribund ways.
"The domestic thriller, costarring Kerry Washington and Patrick Wilson, brought in a decent and anticipated $15.6 million, according to Sunday's estimates. That's the top debut ever for director Neil LaBute — which isn't much of a surprise considering the fact that the caustic filmmaker is best known for churning out independent fare like 'In the Company of Men' and 'Your Friends and Neighbors.' (His previous best debut was the $9.6 mil first-weekend take of his only other major-studio release, 2006's 'The Wicker Man'.) But LaBute & Co. should enjoy their moment in the sun now, because with a poor C+ CinemaScore review from a generally older audience, 'Lakeview Terrace' is certain to quickly move out of that tony neighborhood otherwise known as the top of the box office."
And...here's the top five movies over the weekend:
1. "Lakeview Terrace" -- $15.6M
2. "Burn After Reading" -- $11.3M
3. "My Best Friend's Girl" -- $8.3M
4. "Igor" -- $8M
5. "Righteous Kill" -- $7.7M
