"According to estimates from Rentrak this afternoon, Saul Dibb's 'The Duchess' led indieWIRE Box Office Tracking (iW BOT) - which ranks the per theater average of all reporting specialty films. In its second weekend, the Paramount Vantage released grossed $570,000 from 55 screens, averaging a potent $10,364. Just behind was the surprisingly strong performance of IDP/Samuel Goldwyn Films's Christian romance, 'Fireproof.' The Kirk Cameron headliner grossed $6,513,996 on 839 screens, the second-highest gross for any debut on under 1000 screens this year. Fox Searchlight's 'Choke' did not do quite as well." (Indiewire)
"When the economy is in crisis, New York turns to vices. This week peeps were out. And who doesn't need a drink after hearing Sarah Palin explain foreign policy? Or maybe everyone was out hoping to wake up with a new rich Euro-lover. Whatever the case here's the debauchery I caught: ... Lit is back and Wednesdays are my pick of the week. This week DJs Cassie Coane and Harley Viera Newton spun every hip-hop song you forgot with help from friend Cory Kennedy. The crowd was cute scenesters, some MisShapes and even model Daria Werbowy!"

"I'm a sucker for those weepy Lifetime movies (I'm a big fan of Markie Post), so I was there for last week's premiere of Living Proof, an uplifter about the real-life trials for a breast cancer drug that ended up saving lotsa lives. Yes, Lifetime has premieres now! And even an after-dinner at the Plaza!" (Musto)
