Alec Baldwin was on David Letterman today promoting Rock of Ages. The movie kind of tanked last weekend, so that might be why Baldwin is out drumming up buzz for the Adam Shankman-directed film. Here is a clip from the interview in which he talks about his recent tabloid run-in.

Even with this tremendous disappointment, the weekend saw worse as Adam Sandler’s That’s My Boy premiered to $4.6 million which is absolutely terrible. This suggests an opening weekend in the low teens which is roughly half of what some were anticipating. Just a word of caution though, these stars were out of their element in both features so this is not exactly a clear sign that audiences have had enough of either. File these efforts in the ‘forgettable’ category. The true test for Sandler will likely come next year with Grown Ups 2 which is currently shooting. Here are the rest of the top ten including the top dogs of Madagascar 3 and Prometheus which also reigned over last week’s data. 1. Madagascar 3 - $10 M / $95.0 M 2. Prometheus - $5.8 M / $74.5 M 3. Rock of Ages - $5.4 M / $5.4 M 4. That’s My Boy - $4.6 M / $4.6 M 5. Snow White and the Huntsman - $4 M / $112.8 M 6. Men in Black 3 - $2.8 M / $145.5 M 7. The Avengers - $2.2 M / $580.1 M 8. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel - $0.6 M / $33.6 M 9. Moonrise Kingdom - $0.6 M / $5.2 M 10. What to Expect When You’re Expecting - $0.4 M / $37.9 M
The former Dancing with the Stars cast member was on The Tonight Show last night as part of early promotion for the upcoming film which will not land in theaters until the middle of next month. Topics of conversation included vacationing with Ryan Seacrest and the actress’ role in Rock of Ages. |

This past weekend can be best described as a mixed bag as audiences witnessed the release of two flops in the face of strong retention from last week’s field. 
The Friday estimates are now in, and it would appear that star power is not exactly what it used to be in Hollywood. At least that seems to be the general theme of the report today. Despite Adam Shankman’s efforts to assemble an all-star cast for his musical Rock of Ages, the film only debuted to $5.4 million which is well below what analysts expected going into the weekend.
This may be the last stage of the week-long talk show tour by Catherine Zeta-Jones for Rock of Ages. 
Thursday night gave way to a Paul Giamatti sighting at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon as the actor has another supporting role to promote via Rock of Ages. The Adam Shankman-directed film opens nationwide today. 
Guillermo caught up with the stars of Rock of Ages on last night’s edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live, and the results were pretty spectacular. 
Julianne Hough has a musical-inspired film coming out as her a follow-up to Footloose. This one is a bit more high profile though as there exists a lot of buzz for the Adam Shankman-directed effort thanks in part to the phenomenal cast which includes the likes of Tom Cruise, Bryan Cranston, Paul Giamatti, Russell Brand, and Alec Baldwin. The movie is called Rock of Ages, and its plot centers on two young people chasing their dreams in 1980′s L.A.
