Here’s a link to the MTV Movies Blog that is carrying the official release of the Paramore music video “Decode” from the Twilight soundtrack.

From one of the biggest current bands, this video only boosts Twilight’s insane anticipation.  And it’s a very smart move because both attract the same demographic.  There’s no doubt the vampire-romance of Twilight is going to be highly successful.  Hell, I’ve never read a single word from a Stephenie Meyer novel and I’m stoked for this movie.  But as for the song, “Decode” isn’t that good.  It probably would’ve been on the cutting board to both Paramore’s albums.  It’s not a typical Paramore song, but I guess that’s why it’s a Twilight soundtrack song… though that doesn’t mean the song can’t be good.  Example:  Dashboard Confessional’s “Vindicated” from Spider-Man 2.  That was the movie’s official song and still fit in with DC’s sound and style, and was pretty damn awesome.  But there’s no doubt this will make teen girls scream their lungs out for their excitement that their favorite band, Paramore, is being featured on their favorite book-into-movie, Twilight.

Box Office Results

 

Weekend Studio Estimates (Oct. 31 – Nov. 2)

1.  High School Musical 3 – $15 million
2.  Zack and Miri Make a Porno – $10.7 million
3.  Saw V – $10.1 million
4.  Changeling – $9.4 million
5.  The Haunting of Molly Hartley – $6 million

 

Once again the tween idols take the weekend box office.  With a second weekend gross of $15 million, that’s all the dancing high schoolers needed to top the competition.  Kevin Smith’s raunchy comedy, Zack and Miri, was runner up with $10.7 million.  Halloween weekend proved people were out for a scare.  Saw V finished third in the box office with $10.1 million and The Haunting of Molly Hartley finished fifth with $6 million.  The most impressive film this weekend was Clint Eastwood’s Changeling, which opened in less than 2,000 theaters but still made $9.4 million, good enough for fourth. 

This was a disappointing weekend for the box office.  Phil had high hopes but exaggerated his predictions.  Dan had the top two correct and was on the right track by predicting low grosses, but I was the only one to predict all of the Top 5 films, though out of order.

Check back Friday for our next week’s predictions.
