I had no idea that Osgood Perkins, director of “Longlegs”, had another film almost ready for release, but that’s what Deadline is reporting. It’s called “The Monkey” and based on a short story by Stephen King.

It’s exceeding all initial projections and now a $75-80M+ opening weekend is the most likely outcome (originally, it was $50 million). It’s also now looking at a $26-28 million Friday. A $200 million worldwide opening is a possibility.

The place was packed, with over 300 invitees — “a who’s who of heavy hitters” that includes friends and family of Coppola’s. Al Pacino and Roger Corman were spotted there. All of the studio chiefs were in attendance.

Jerry Seinfeld’s “Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story” tackles the revolutionizing of the unhealthy American breakfast as depicted in the first trailer. This is Seinfeld's directorial debut.
