Lately, it seems Hollywood is happier living in the past than in the future, what with remakes of films like ‘Footloose’ and squeezing every last drop of nostalgia out of comic book superheroes.
Now you can add another to the list — it’s been confirmed that ‘Dirty Dancing,’ the 1987 film that made household names of its stars Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, is getting a reboot, as well.
Two new films — ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’ and ‘The Change-Up’ — premiered in the top five in this weekend’s best box-office earners, coming in at number one and number four, respectively.
Last weekend’s top films, ‘The Smurfs’ and ‘Cowboys & Aliens,’ moved to the second and third-place slots.

A kiss is a kiss is a kiss – except when it's more than a kiss.
Hollywood is famous for its kiss scenes. Whether it's the waves cascading against the sand or the sun shining down in all the right places, some of the most romantic have undoubtedly taken place on the beach.

Another sequel cruises into theaters this weekend by way of Pixar’s ‘Cars 2,’ with Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) back for another fast-paced adventure – this time, at the first-ever World Grand Prix.
Reviews haven’t been too kind for the movie, but given Pixar’s recent successes, ‘Cars 2′ should have no problem taking the number-one spot at the box office.
The trailer for the highly anticipated ‘Footloose’ remake finally hit the Internet this week, offering fans a first look at this modern day take on a Kevin Bacon classic.
The premise for 2011′s ‘Footloose’ is relatively similar to the original: city boy Ren MacCormack (Kenny Wormald) moves to small-town Bomont, where a car crash that killed five teens has led local politicians to ban minors from dancing.

Fifty-six years later, Marilyn Monroe is still worth a lot of money – $5.6 million, to be exact.

That was more than enough to edge out last week's champ, 'X-Men: First Class,' which dipped 55 percent to earn just $25.0 million.

Summer loses some of its meaning when you're an adult, since it no longer comes with a moths-long break from the grind.
