Books continue to rule at the box office this weekend; Where the Wild Things Are was #1. Does this mean Warner Brothers was wrong to worry that the movie wouldn’t appeal to kids? Not exactly; according to Variety, 43% of the audiences were over 18 and only 27% were families.

Unfortunately, if filmgoers feel as lukewarm about what they saw as the critics did, strong ticket sales may not continue.

Schedule Changes

Youth in Revolt has been moved from an October release date to January 8th.

The movie of the superhero comic, The Green Lantern was going to be shot in Australia, but has been pulled because of the weakening of the US dollar against the Australian dollar. Production may be moved to Louisiana. It is now scheduled for a 2011 release.

However, the third in the Chronicles of Narnia series, Voyage of the Dawn Treader, will continue shooting down under, with a release date of Dec., 2010.
