weekend movies

‘Paranormal Activity 3,’ the third installment in the horror film franchise, received a warm welcome at the box office this weekend, earning $54 million and a spot at the top of the charts in its first week of release.

Moviegoers this weekend will have a choice of three new films in wide release. In ‘Contagion,’ Matt Damon fights a viral epidemic that could endanger the entire planet, while the title character in ‘Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star‘ learns his parents were once porn-stars and abandons his small town life to follow in their footsteps...

Three new movies will be added to theaters this Friday, offering everything from cowboys and aliens to the Smurfs in 3-D. The first is the Jon Favreau-directed ‘Cowboys & Aliens,’ in which Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford team to fight off – you guessed it – an alien-invasion in 1873 Arizona.
