Apparently some people would disagree if a say ‘Untraceable’ is not worth your popcorn. Sony Pictures’ $35 million crime thriller wasn’t a major success in theaters. It grossed $28 million domestically and managed to add another $22 million overseas. But it did make the number one spot in DVD sales last week, beating the $15 million ‘The Great Debaters’ with Denzel Washington and Forest Whitaker.
‘Untraceable’ came in second for rentals, doing $6.9 million. The $22 million Diane Keaton comedy ‘Mad Money’ came in first, with $7.3 million in rentals. The number one from last week, ‘P.S. I Love You,’ added another $5.9 million in rentals, making a total of $13.1 million. And lastly, the first ‘Chronicles of Narnia’ movie topped the Blu-ray chart, with ‘Untraceable’ coming in second. All those numbers are making me dizzy.

Tom Cruise is going to star in ‘The 28th Amendment’ as none other than the President of the United States of America. Well, as long as he’s acting it’s fine by me. The big budget Warner Bros. thriller follows the story of president Ben Cahill, who finds out the government is actually run by a secret cabal.
Denzel Washington is the leader of the cabal and wants Tom Cruise dead. In the movie, that is. ‘Transformers’ and ‘Mission: Impossible III’ writer Alex Kutzman wrote the script, which might explain the connection to Cruise. I’m expecting something quite mediocre.
