Box Office Preview: Brett Ratner's Star-Packed 'Tower Heist' Hopes to Steal $30 Mil Opening

Universal's broad PG-13 action-comedy Tower Heist is poised to top the domestic box office in its debut, but the big question is whether it can hit $30 million.our editor recommendsTower Heist: Film ReviewA Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas: Film ReviewEddie Murphy in 'Tower Heist': What the Critics Are Saying Eddie Murphy Says Brian Grazer Saved 'Tower Heist' (Video)Universal Backs Off 'Tower Heist' Premium VOD Test The $85 million pic has plenty of star power in a cast led by Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy and Matthew Broderick. Murphy, whose live-action career has suffered in recent years, in particular should see better numbers than usual. Casey Affleck, Alan Alda, Tea Leoni, Michael Pena and Gabourey Sidibe also star in the film, about a group of non-crooks who set out to rob the man who swindled them out of their pensions. PHOTOS: Where Are the 'Ben Stiller Show' Alumni Now? Imagine Entertianment's Brian Grazer and Kim Roth produced the film with Murphy, while Relativity Media helped finance. A year ago on the same weekend, Warner Bros.' comedy Due Date opened to $32.7 million at the domestic box office, and while Universal is using that film as a comp, the studio is lowering its weekend estimate to between $25 million and $30 million because of the soft marketplace. Rivals suggest Universal needs the movie to open to at least $30 million. COVER STORY: Why Is Funnyman Ben Stiller Not Laughing? Tower Heist also opens day and date in 21 countries overseas, including the U.K., Germany, Spain, Hong Kong and India. In the U.S., tracking -- which has popped in recent days, due to a flurry of publicity by Stiller and Murphy -- is strong among males of all ages followed by older women. Tower Heist also should play well with African-American and Hispanic audiences because of Murphy and Pena, according to Universal. However, Tower Heist could lose young men to Warner Bros. and New Line's more modestly budgeted A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas. Conservative estimates show the R-rated stoner comedy opening in the $18 million range, but it could hit $20 milion, thanks in part to the 3D factor. (Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay opened to $14.9 million in April 2008.) Played by John Cho and Kal Penn, Harold and Kumar go on the search for the perfect Christmas tree after Kumar destroys the original. The film, also starring Niel Patrick Harris, is packed with 3D gimmicks (think smoke rings). A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas cost in the low $30 million range to produce. DreamWorks Animation and Paramount's 3D toon Puss in Boots has a good shot of besting Harold & Kumar for the No. 2 spot domestically, and is predicted to gross in the low $20 million range in its second weekend. The pic opened to $34.1 million last weekend after losing business because of the freak storm on the East Coast. Puss in Boots has grossed just north of $40 million through Wednesday at the domestic box office, and nearly $20 million overseas, where it enjoyed a record-breaking debut in Russia last weekend. But big story internationally will continue to be Steven Speilberg's The Adventures of Tintin: Secrets of the Unicorn, which debuted to a dazzling $56 million last weekend as it rolled out in its first key territories, smashing records in France and Belgium, home country of the beloved comic book character. Sony and Paramount are partners on Tintin, and sharing foreign distribution duties. Paramount releases the film in North America over Christmas. At the specialty box office, Anchor Bay opens The Son of No One in 10 theaters in select U.S. cities. The Sundance Film Festival title stars Channing Tatum, Al Pacino and Katie Holmes. The Weinstein Co. is re-releasing Kristin Scott Thomas indie hit Sarah's Key in 300 theaters across the U.S. this weekend in a move to drum up attention as awards season gets underway. The film has grossed north of $7 million domestically to date. Related Topics Brett Ratner Eddie Murphy Ben Stiller Puss in Boots Matthew Broderick Tower Heist A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas

Justin Bieber's Voice on Christmas Album is 'Obviously Different, but Rich,' Says Producer

Justin Bieber's Christmas album Under the Mistletoe hits retailers today, and along with the first helping of new music since last year's My World 2.0 comes a new round of expectations. How much will he sell out the gate (pre-orders were at a healthy 164,000 at the end of last week)? How fast will it reach gold? Platinum? How will his older, deeper voice be received?our editor recommendsJustin Bieber to Collaborate with Kanye West, Drake on Upcoming AlbumJustin Bieber Picks the 5 Songs That Inspire Him Justin Bieber Reveals Christmas Album Inspiration PHOTOS: Justin Bieber's 'Never Say Never' Premiere "His voice is obviously different, but it's rich," says producer Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, who worked on two tracks from Mistletoe and was also responsible for Bieber's smash hit "Baby." "The complaint he had early on in his career was that he sounded too much like a kid for radio," he continues. "They didn't want to play him when we first started dropping records on Justin. Now, he's got that radio voice." To wit: the song "Mistletoe" debuted at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and his duet with Usher, "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)," is expected to chart this week. PHOTOS: The Most Watched Holiday Specials of 2010 As production goes, it was a family affair. Kuk Harrell, Stewart's cousin and a wizard of vocals who worked on Rihanna's "Umbrella" and Katy Perry's Teenage Dream album, served as the overall producer for Under the Mistletoe. Stewart describes their time in the studio as "a little hectic" while acknowledging, "It's a really big album for us as a company and for him as my partner." (Harrell is represented by RedZone Entertainment, the company Stewart founded in 1995.) Stewart has no doubt that the album will land at No. 1 and hopes that the collaboration will continue on Bieber's next album. Recently, Bieber's manager Scooter Braun told The Hollywood Reporter that in a perfect world, Bieber's forthcoming full-length Believe would be ready for release in the summer." As for what it should sound like? Stewart says the key is being age-appropriate. PHOTOS: Justin Bieber's Top 10 THR Outtakes "He should make music for 17-year-olds," the producer tells THR. "That culture is alive and well. His relationship with Chris Brown taps him into a part of musical culture that he's not been in before and I think he's going to make an album that's for young people and has a real cool factor to it. He's a creative kid and he's coming his space as a creator and as a writer." Indeed, adds Tricky, Bieber's best days are yet to come: "This guy has had a lot of success at a young age, but I still think he's underrated because people don't really know how good he's going to be long term."
