This upcoming week, the movie of the summer is coming out: "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen". The film will, without a doubt, be the #1 of the weekend. It will also likely pass the $100 million mark right out of the gate, especially since it is being released on Wednesday instead of Friday, therefore giving it an extra boost. But what else comes out this weekend (for those few who do not want to see "Transformers")? Well, the only other "big" release of the weekend is the drama "My Sister's Keeper" starring Cameron Diaz and Abigail Breslin. The film is an adaption of the bestselling novel of the same name and from the director of "The Notebook". The film may not make such a huge impact on the weekend, but still may manage to surpass a $10 million opening due to star power. In limited release, two notable films are being released: "Cheri" and "The Hurt Locker". "Cheri" is a romantic drama set in Paris during the 1920's (starring Michelle Pfeiffer), while "The Hurt Locker" is war picture taking place in modern day Iran. Recently, modern war films have not faired well at the box office. Ex: "Rendition" (2007), "Lion For Lambs" (2007) and "Stop-Loss" (2008), all of which include aspects of the war. So which limited film will fair better?
