'LEGEND' DEBUT IS BOX OFFICE LEGEND

 
Warner Bros. "I Am Legend," starring Will Smith, debuted with $76.5 million, the biggest December opening ever and a personal best for the box-office champ, according to estimates.

"It's no wonder Will Smith feels so lonely. Everyone else on Earth is in the movie theater," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Media By Numbers.

The 20th Century Fox "Alvin and the Chipmunks," starring Jason Lee and the cartoon critters, opened No. 2 with $45 million. The two films combined to give Hollywood a year-end surge.

"Forty-five million acorns," said Chris Aronson, senior vice president of distribution at 20th Century Fox. "Chipmunks are diurnal animals and they do hibernate, but not right now."
 
Overall business soared, with the top 12 movies taking in $153.6 million, up 39% from the same weekend a year earlier, when Smith was No. 1 with a $26.5 million debut for "The Pursuit of Happyness."

The previous No. 1 movie, New Line Cinema's fantasy "The Golden Compass," nose-dived in its second weekend, coming in third with $9 million, down 65% from its $25.8 million debut a week earlier.

"The Golden Compass," which cost $180 million, has done $90 million so far overseas but has proven a dud domestically with just $41 million.

On the other hand, "I Am Legend" smashed Smith's personal debut record, exceeding the $52.1 million opening weekends of "I, Robot" and "Men in Black II," his previous bests. "Legend" outdid the $72.6 million premiere of 2003's "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," the previous best December opening.

"It's nice to be in the Will Smith business," said Dan Fellman, distribution head for Warner Bros. "He is just the No. 1 box-office star in the world today."
 
Based on the Richard Matheson novel filmed before as Vincent Price's "The Last Man on Earth" and Charlton Heston's "The Omega Man,""I Am Legend" casts Smith as a scientist fighting off the vestiges of humanity, people transformed by the plague into vampire-like creatures.

Two Golden Globe nominees just hitting theaters did well in their second weekends.

Focus Features'"Atonement" - leading the Globes with 7 nominations, including best drama and acting honors for Keira Knightley and James McAvoy - pulled $1.85 million in 117 theaters. That gave "Atonement" an average of $15,835, compared to $21,224 in 3,606 for "I Am Legend."

Fox Searchlight's "Juno," a teen-pregnancy comedy whose nominations included best comedy or musical and an acting honor for Ellen Page, grossed $1.44 million in 40 theaters for a $36,018 average.

"Atonement" and "Juno" expand into nationwide release over the next 3 weekends.

Another Golden Globe nominee, "The Kite Runner," debuted strongly with $450,970 in 35 theaters for a $12,885 average. The film follows an emigrant to America who returns home to rescue the son of a childhood friend.

Francis Ford Coppola's first film in 10 years, "Youth Without Youth" from Sony Pictures Classics, debut at $27,815 in 6 theaters, averaging $4,636. The film stars Tim Roth as an elderly scholar whose youth is restored by a lightning strike.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday @ U.S. & Canadian theaters, according to Media By Numbers. Final figures will be released Monday.

01) "I Am Legend" @ $76.5 million.

02) "Alvin and the Chipmunks" @ $45 million.

03) "The Golden Compass" @ $9 million.

CHRISTOPHER CROSBY FARLEY

DOB:  February 15, 1964, Madison, Wisconsin
DOD:  December 18, 1997, Chicago, Illinois (accidental opiate/cocaine intoxication and coronary atherosclerosis)

Christopher Crosby Farley, who was born on February 15, 1964, grew up in Madison, Wisconsin. He studied theatre and communications on Marquette University. After finishing University Chris was in the cast of the Second City Theatre, where he was discovered by the producer of the great comedy-show "Saturday Night Live" (1975), Lorne Michaels. Chris worked on "Saturday Night Live" (1975) for five years during which he appeared in movies like Wayne's World (1992), Coneheads (1993), Billy Madison (1995) and finally Tommy Boy (1995), with his comic partner and SNL cast member David Spade. The duo later made one more movie called Black Sheep (1996). From that time on, Chris was one of the big comedy stars, and his fame was growing and growing.

After some more time, he made another "lone" movie, Beverly Hills Ninja (1997), which featured former SNL member Chris Rock. Farley was made even more famous, but with his growing fame, his problems grew bigger as well; he didn't want to be the "fat guy who falls down" any longer. Chris had several other problems, too, with alcohol and drug dependency. On December 18th, 1997, he died from a heroin (opiate) and cocaine overdose in his apartment in Chicago, where his body was found by his brother John the next day. Chris' weigh of 296 pounds was a contributing factor to his death, but according to his autopsy the alcohol, marijuana and Prozac that was also found in his body, were not. Less than two months prior to Farley's death, he had appeared alongside Chevy Chase on what would be Farley's only SNL show as host. Not unlike his idol John Belushi, he was credited for one more appearance after having left SNL and died at age 33. His death cause was also the same. In the year after Chris' departing, the movie Almost Heroes (199 , where he plays the leading role alongside Matthew Perry was released. He also makes cameo appearances in Dirty Work (199

Hard 'Hobbit' to Break: Jackson's In
 

By JAKE COYLE
 
NEW YORK (AP) - Bilbo lives!

After publicly feuding for more than a year, "Lord of the Rings" director Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema have reached agreement to make J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit," a planned two-film prequel to the blockbuster trilogy.

Jackson, who directed "Rings," will serve as executive producer for two "Hobbit" pictures. They will tell the story of how the young hobbit Bilbo Baggins originally came to possess the nefarious One Ring that Frodo, his adopted heir, needed three films to dispose of.

A director for the films has yet to be named. Production is tentatively set to begin in 2009 with a release planned for 2010, and the sequel following in 2011.

 
Relations between Jackson and New Line soured after "Rings" despite a collective worldwide box office gross of nearly $3 billion. Jackson shepherded Tolkien's Middle-Earth saga to a combined 17 Academy Awards including best picture for 2003's "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King." The trilogy also includes 2002's "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" and 2001's "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring."

"I'm very pleased that we've been able to put our differences behind us, so that we may begin a new chapter with our old friends at New Line," Jackson said in a statement. "We are delighted to continue our journey through Middle Earth."

Late last year, acrimony between the 46-year-old Jackson and New Line became very public, with the studio announcing they would move forward with "The Hobbit" without him. Jackson sued New Line over the amount he was paid - including DVD payments - for "The Fellowship of the Ring," the first installment of the trilogy.

"The low point was when we both started getting a little too personal about this whole thing," said New Line co-chairman and co-CEO Bob Shaye on Tuesday. "From my own perspective, I realized that I shouldn't be so thin-skinned about everything that goes on in my professional life."

Jackson's suit, the two sides announced Tuesday, has been settled. The terms of the settlement weren't announced, though Shaye cheerfully said: "One of the key terms was we all shake hands with each other."

In his statement, Jackson thanked Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios (MGM) Chairman and CEO Harry Sloan for helping him and New Line "find the common ground necessary to continue that journey."

New Line, which is owned by Time Warner, holds the rights to produce "The Hobbit," while MGM, which is owned by a consortium including Sony and Comcast, has the right to distribute it. The two studios will split financing and distribution costs, with New Line handling distribution in North America and MGM distributing internationally.

Two "Hobbit" films are scheduled to be shot simultaneously, similar to how the three "Lord of the Rings" films were made all at once. Shaye and Sloan both said it was Jackson's idea to divide the story, adapted from Tolkien's first book about Middle Earth (which was about half the length of any from the trilogy that followed).

The film's production schedule is subject to how long the writers strike lasts, which some forecast could continue for many months. There isn't currently a script for either "Hobbit" film, and producers will be unable to even approach writers until the strike is over.

"If the writers strike drags on, then everything can change in terms of the time table," Sloan said Tuesday.

Sloan added that some patience has been necessary for making "The Hobbit" happen: "We've always taken the position that we wanted Peter to be involved in this project, but it's taken some time to work out the differences."

Jackson, who directed "King Kong" after finishing the trilogy, is currently finishing shooting for "The Lovely Bones," based on Alice Sebold's novel.

The three "Lord of the Rings" films rank among the 25 most lucrative films of all time, made more financially successful by the risky strategy of shooting all three together. The production budget for the trilogy has been estimated at around $300 million.

Tolkien's fantasy epic has been a cultural juggernaut since its publication in the 1950s, inspiring everything from the ubiquitous "Frodo Lives!" graffiti in the '60s and '70s to the Dungeons and Dragons phenomenon of the '80s. With the franchise now considered one of the most bankable projects in Hollywood, the "Hobbit" films will be expected to match the blockbuster success of "Rings."

JUDGE DROPS BALDWIN WARRANT
 

An arrest warrant for Daniel Baldwin was canceled Monday after he told a judge he missed a hearing in a drug case because he was in Canada. His probation was reinstated by Judge Nancy Newman after she accepted he missed a progress report on his drug rehab because he was at a film shoot in Toronto. Baldwin said he told his probation officer he wasn't going to make the Dec. 7 court date. Newman cautioned Baldwin to alert the court directly about absences. The actor's lawyer, Grant Hoagland, said Baldwin will complete his rehab this month. He is due in court March 4.

MTV PRANKSTER 2 OPEN THEATER

The pro skateboarder, prankster and MTV star is teaming with a business partner to open a theater in his hometown of West Chester. The theater will feature musical acts, standup comedians and films. Construction is under way for a spring opening. "This is the real deal," said Margera. "I just want to own a piece of West Chester." Margera has used the town outside Philadelphia as a backdrop for episodes of MTV's "Jackass."

MCCONAUGHEY INJURED IN TRAINING
 

Matthew McConaughey was in stitches - literally - after training for his upcoming fighter flick. The actor cut his face while preparing for his role in "The Grackle," a new movie from his J.K. Livin Productions, his publicist, Alan Nierob, said Monday.
Nierob said McConaughey had been training Ultimate Fighting Championship-style. He did not know when and where the injury occurred. Photos posted Monday on celeb gossip Web site X17 show McConaughey wearing a bandage over his left eye. The shots were snapped after he delivered a eulogy for Evel Knievel.

Francis Ford Coppola says little would change if he were given a chance to do his life over, like the central character in "Youth Without Youth." "It would be the same life," the director says. "When I die, I am not going to be there saying 'Oh, I wish I had done this, and I wish I had done that.' Because I did it." The director says that goes for his movies, too.
"Movie-wise, there is nothing I wouldn't do again. It's not possible to make one perfect movie every time. I don't know of anyone who has done it. I guess (Akira) Kurosawa has come the closest."
