It was a super huge weekend for the folks at Toronto based ICE Studios as their two main Paramount features took spots #1 and #2 on one of the most important weekends of the entire movie year. They also closed out one of the biggest box office runs to date since Star Girl with their horror feature Twin Sisters which wrapped up 13 weeks in the box office making $242 million for Paramount Pictures.

Allison Shields' draw at the box office has been evident in her first three features so far in Addison Trails, Twin Sisters, and the latest one Wanda Toronto which is setting new heights. Allison Shields' next feature comes in July and its the last for her this summer. That film is Nice Girls which comes out in late July. We'll see how that one does.

Paramount had a huge weekend b/c they brought back the monstrous legend Jaws to the box office and it delivered the second best box office performance of the year during opening weekend getting $264 million for its first five days which includes the $183 million that it got during the regular weekend. Steven Spielberg reports that the studio's expectation had it going much lower but it did huge business. Paramount wasn't all happy though as KIMBO has really failed badly and its the first feature of the summer for them to fail.

LSP brought out one of the most anticipated movies of the summer in Futurama: The Movie which delivered. The television series has a cult following but its not bigger than the comparable Simpsons movie which opened up years ago before the NITRO box office opening. With that being said LSP is very happy with the results and they are also happy with the huge numbers that Speed Racer has been getting.

Woody Allen's Problem Girl is really raking in the money due to good word of mouth.

#1 and #2 baby! That's awesome!

I had Jaws Reborn going a bit lower but it did bigger business than I expected and almost beat Wanda Toronto's opening weekend.

Wanda Toronto is a huge beast right now, it might make it to a billion bucks by mid-July.

Twin Sisters had a great run as I was really nervous on how long it could even stay in the box office. I thought May was out of the question for it but it stood on some pretty heft legs.

This was a dangerous weekend as it was so crowded so movies like The Warriors and The Story of Karla Moran are in danger of exiting early.

I'm glad to see Problem Girl doing successful, if I had been smart I would've never gave it to ROD.

BREAKING NEWS

Toronto - Paramount Pictures is going to go ahead and greenlight the sequel to Twin Sisters which will start filming this fall in the Seattle area. The early release date we have for it will be on Thursday June 9, 2011. A special Thursday release so that the film can get a head start on the weekend.

We are very happy to have this success for Twin Sisters and we can't wait for it to make it to television in front of a brand new audience this October on ICE. We are also very happy that both USA Network and NBC will both have the US Television rights to the film through 2016 and FX will takeover in 2017.
