03.31.08: ‘21′ Cashes In, New ‘Valkyrie’ Pics & Martin And Keaton Get ‘Happy’

Premiere News
March 31st, 2008 / Premiere

21 stormed to the top of the box-office charts over the weekend, cashing in its chips for a $23.7 million haul. Inspired by the true story of six MIT students who swindled Vegas casinos for millions, Robert Luketic’s drama easily trounced the weekend’s other new entries, spoof-com Superhero Movie, which underperformed with $9.5 million to land at No. 3, and Stop-Loss, the latest Iraq War-themed project to be avoided at all costs by moviegoers. Kimberly Pierce’s drama ended up with an estimated $4.5 million and the No. 8 spot. Meanwhile, Horton Hears A Who continued its competition-trouncing run, vacuuming up another $17.4 million to bring its total to $117.2 million. It’s the first film to break the $100 million barrier in 2008. More at Variety

Hopper’s Son Leading Craven’s Next
Henry Lee Hopper is joining Denzel Whitaker and Shareeka Epps for Wes Craven’s horror thriller 25/8. Making his acting debut, Dennis’ teenage son will play the role of Bug, one of seven teens haunted by a serial killer who supposedly died when they were born 15 years earlier. Hopper landed the part after meeting Craven at a party for his godfather Julian Schnabel, where the two discussed abstract expressionism and following in your father's footsteps. Or something.
