QUESTION — Who decides what movies play here in Greeley? I remember that "Zoot Suit" was never in Greeley, and "Malcolm X" was never here either. We had to go to Fort Collins or Loveland to watch those movies. Now "Capitalism: A Love Story," the movie by Michael Moore, also is not here in Greeley. We had to go to Centerra to watch it. Why do we have to go to Loveland to see movies like that? It's a little too much of a coincidence to me that movies like this are never shown in Greeley. Is there some big Republican up in the sky who is deciding what movies come to Greeley?" ANSWER — First of all, you're in luck with "Capitalism: A Love Story," because it will begin playing at the Kress Theater this week in downtown Greeley. We talked to the manager of the Kress, John Jankow, who said he requests many of the types of movies you're looking for, but the distributors give them to the larger theaters first. In the case of "Capitalism," Jankow requested it from the distributor a month ago, but officials said it was going to another local theater. When it didn't come, Jankow called them again, and they are sending the movie. In many cases, the local theaters have no choice about the movies they receive. Those decisions usually are made by the distributor. QUESTION — I'd like to know how the Greeley-Evans School District 6 Superintendent Ranelle Lang can make decisions in Greeley when she lives in Aurora. ANSWER — Well, for one thing, she doesn't live in Aurora. Lang told us she has a home in Greeley and a home where she lives with her husband in Erie. Because of her job, she spends about 25 days a month in the Greeley home. Her husband stays in Erie because of his job in Denver.

| A movie now sponsoring Fox's 'Family Guy' special - PennLive.com Posted: 01 Nov 2009 08:36 PM PST (AP) — NEW YORK - Fox network says an upcoming movie has stepped in for Microsoft to sponsor next Sunday's "Family Guy" special. The upcoming Warner Bros. feature "Sherlock Holmes" will be the sole sponsor of "Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show." A sneak preview from the December release, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, will air during the broadcast. Last week, Microsoft abruptly backed out as sponsor of the half-hour comedy-variety program, which stars "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane and Alex Borstein, who, like MacFarlane, provides voices for the animated series.
The software giant explained that the often racy "Family Guy" style might clash with the Windows brand the company planned to promote on the show. ___ Fox network is owned by News Corp. ___ On the Net: http://www.fox.com This content has passed through fivefilters.org. |

| For Sony, ' This Is It' really was 'it' for past 5 days - Philadelphia Daily News Posted: 02 Nov 2009 12:32 AM PST
LOS ANGELES - "Michael Jackson's This Is It" pulled in $101 million worldwide in its first five days, and distributor Sony is extending the farewell-performance film beyond its planned two-week run. The film was the No. 1 Halloween thriller domestically with a $21.3 million opening weekend, according to studio estimates yesterday. The previous weekend's No. 1 movie, Paramount's low-budget horror sensation "Paranormal Activity," slipped to No. 2 with $16.5 million, lifting its total to $84.8 million. "This Is It" raised its domestic total to $32.5 million. The movie pulled in $68.5 million overseas, including $10.4 million in Japan, $6.3 million in Germany, $5.8 million in France and $3.2 million in China. "He's just loved everywhere on the planet," said Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony. "It doesn't matter if it's Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe, South America. Every continent in the world loved him and his music." In Great Britain, where Jackson had planned a marathon series of 50 London concerts starting last July, the movie earned $7.6 million. "This Is It" captures Jackson in behind-the-scenes performances in the weeks before his death last June, as he rehearsed his biggest hits for the London shows. "This Is It" originally was scheduled for a theatrical run of only two weeks. The studio has extended it a few more weeks domestically, leaving it in theaters through Thanksgiving weekend, one of the year's busiest moviegoing times. Sony plans to extend the run of "This Is It" overseas on a country-by-country basis. The studio paid $60 million for film rights to Jackson's rehearsal footage, an investment the movie recouped in days. The movie fell far short of last year's $31.1 million opening weekend domestically for "Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert." But Bruer said "This Is It" has a shot at surpassing the $65.3 million domestic total during the entire run of Cyrus' movie, which tops the all-time charts for music documentaries.
