Fall 2007 Programming Guide

.xls Excel file (433 KB) | | | .zip Zip file (139KB) | | | Change Log .txt file (3KB)

I’ve made several new additions/changes/fixes to my programming guide. The biggest addition is that I’ve added synopsis and cast information for all the new fall shows. There is a direct link at the top of the guide that will take you to the section, which starts up right below the Official Websites/Grid section.

They are posted in alphabetical order. There is also an A-Z link section directly above and below the section.

Another addition is that you can now click on each day in the Official Websites/Grid section and be directed to that day on the main guide.

That’s all for this update, but I plan on making at least one new change before the weekend is out. I’ll be adding links in the New Show Synopsis/Cast Information section where when you click on the show title it takes you to the show in the guide, and also I’ll probably add the premiere date in that section as well.

I simply wanted to get this out now at the start of the weekend, and allow for any feedback (remember, you can either e-mail at russtc@yourentertainmentnow.com, or leave a comment on this article or any other related article on the site) before making the additional changes.

Enjoy!

Weekend Box Office — August 31-September 2, 2007 + Labor Day September 2, 2007 6:16 pm

MGM (Weinstein)’s Halloween scared audiences into the box office over the weekend, debuting in first place with a strong $26.36 million from 3,472 theaters. The Rob Zombie directed horror film, a pseudo remake of the 1978 John Carpenter classic, now holds the record for biggest opening in the series, ahead of 1998’s Halloween H20 ($16.19 million). Though critics and fans don’t seem enamored with the quality of the film, it certainly has done well at the box office, a fact I’m sure MGM (Weinstein) is quite pleased with.

It also now holds the record for biggest Labor Day weekend (Labor Day numbers are included below).

Year-to-year the top 10 box office was up by ­17.2%.
