Holy sh*t!! Harrison Ford signs on for Anchorman 2...

If you watched Conan O'Brian over the years, you know that Mr. Ford is actually a pretty funny guy.  He has a droll and rather deadpan sense of humor that generally came out best on O'Brian's couch, probably because Conan never pried into his private life. He's made no secret of his desire to do comedy and I've spent the last 15 years or so wondering why he never got that call from the Farrely Bros or whatever dominant comic filmmakers were occupying the industry at a given moment.  Hell, the serio-comedic melodramas of Judd Apatow would be a perfect fit for someone like Ford.  But it appears that the call has finally been made and answered, because Ford is in fact joining the cast of Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.

Weekend Box Office Review (11/14/10): Megamind repeats, Unstoppable opens strong, Morning Glory underwhelms.

Megamind was at the top of the box office for the second (and final) time this weekend. The second super-villain animated film the year took in another $29.1 million. The 36% drop was less than the 41% drop for Despicable Me's second weekend (which was $32 million), but the latter had $118 million by day ten while Megamind has grossed $88.8 million at the end of its second weekend. Among other Dreamworks titles, Megamind had a slightly higher second weekend than How to Train Your Dragon ($29 million), but it lags $3 million behind in ten-day totals thus far. Megamind is chasing the $198 million total of Monsters Vs. Aliens. It's $15 million behind after two weekends. Whether it approaches the $180 million gross of Madagascar 2 or the $155 million final take of Over the Hedge is a matter of how well it can withstand the blinding white heat of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part I.
