"The Magic Of Belle Isle" Trailer

Reuniting with his director from the hit film, The Bucket List, Morgan Freeman plays Monte Wildhorn, a famous Western novelist whose struggle with alcoholism has sapped his passion for writing. He takes a lakeside cabin for the summer in picturesque Belle Isle, and befriends the family next door—an attractive single mom (Virginia Madsen) and her young daughters—who help him find inspiration again.

New "Take This Waltz" Poster

When Margot (Michelle Williams), 28, meets Daniel (Luke Kirby), their chemistry is intense and immediate. But Margot suppresses her sudden attraction; she is happily married to Lou (Seth Rogen), a cookbook writer. When she learns that Daniel lives across the street from them, the certainty about her domestic life shatters. She and Daniel steal moments throughout the steaming Toronto summer, their eroticism heightened by their restraint. Swelteringly hot, bright and colorful like a bowl of fruit, TAKE THIS WALTZ leads us, laughing, through the familiar, but uncharted question of what long-term relationships do to love, sex, and our images of ourselves.

New "Bad Ass" Poster

But his good fortune suddenly turns for the worse when his best friend Klondike is murdered and the police aren't doing anything about it.

Weekend Box Office: April 13 - 15

Courtesy of Box Office Mojo:

1.  The Hunger Games - $21.5 million

2.  The Three Stooges - $17.1 million

3.  The Cabin in the Woods - $14.8 million

4.  Titanic 3D - $11.6 million

5.  American Reunion - $10.7 million

6.  Mirror Mirror - $7 million

7.  Wrath of the Titans - $6.9 million

8.  21 Jump Street - $6.8 million

9.  Lockout - $6.2 million

10.  The Lorax - $3 million

Three new releases opened in theaters this weekend hoping to finally kick The Hunger Games out of the top spot...and none of them did.  For the fourth weekend in a row (first time that's happened since Avatar), Hunger Games easily took first place again with an estimated $21.5 million.  Its current domestic total now stands at $337 million, and it also passed the $500 million mark worldwide with an overseas gross of $194 million.

In second place was The Farrelly Brothers big-screen adaptation of The Three Stooges, which opened surprisingly well with an estimated $17.1 million.  Go figure.  In third place was Joss Whedon's long-delayed horror thriller The Cabin in the Woods, which, despite excellent reviews, somewhat underwhelmed this weekend with $14.8 million.  But both fared better than fellow new release Lockout which landed in ninth place with just $6.2 million.

This weekend also marked the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic - and what better/creepier way was there to mark the event by seeing the film version of the tragedy in 3D?  Apparently enough people thought that was a good idea, as Titanic 3D held up well in its second weekend, earning $11.6 million.

Audiences still aren't all that interested in the latest American Pie adventure, as American Reunion dropped 50% from its opening last weekend and has so far only earned just under $40 million, the lowest of all of the American Pie films.

For anyone running a Channing Tatum tally (and who isn't?), 21 Jump Street's $6.8 million this weekend officially pushed it past The Vow as this year's highest-grossing Channing Tatum film.

Next week, a few more contenders try to knock The Hunger Games out of first place as the Zac Efron romantic drama The Lucky One opens in theaters.  Joining it is the romantic comedy Think Like a Man, and Disneynature's newest documentary Chimpanzee.
