Apple Adds Movies to Renamed “iTunes Store” by amit

Today Apple announced another feather in their media mogul cap, movies will now be sold through the iTunes Store (previously named iTunes Music Store). Currently, the collection is comprised of flicks from Disney owned movie studios including Pixar (Cars, Finding Nemo), Touchstone (Sixth Sense w/ Haley “Druggie” Osment, and Miramax). Other studios are bound to follow (e.g. ABC was the first and only TV network on iTunes, now there’s 40). The price for movie downloads? New releases are $12.99 if pre-ordered, $14.99 thereafter, and previous flicks (think movies located in the middle of Blockbuster) are $9.99. The downloads won’t be postage stamp size quality either. According to AppleInsider, they’ll be “near DVD-quality” at about 89% their circular plastic counterpart (Nerds: 640 pixels width versus 720 pixels).

Lowest Weekend Box Office #1 in 3 Years by amit

The newest teen thriller to add to a repertoire of already lackluster movies, The Covenant, earned the lowest box office sum for a weekend number one in three years. According to SONY and Reuters, the film about undead teens with superpowers took home a paltry $9 million dollars while Hollywoodland opened to another dismal sum, $6.7 million. The Boston Curse (Ben Affleck) is alive and well. The only movie to open with less than $10 million AND be at the top of the weekend box office totem pole was none other than David Spade’s waste of celluloid, Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star exactly three years ago. Is this yet another sign that people are foregoing the theatre experience? Not at all. It’s the horrible movies that are released. So when and what’s going to save dwindling ticket sales? None other than The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning opening October 4th. C&V suggestion: Wait for the NetFlix.
