  • High School Musical 3 had the biggest opening weekend of any musical, ever, grossing $42 million to leapfrog over Saw V’s respectable-for-an-effing-fivequel $30 million. What the latter number will mean for Lionsgate’s reported turn away from genre film is anyone’s guess, but when Saw V grosses another $2 million, that franchise will surpass Friday the 13th as the highest grossing horror franchise in history. Also, Changeling had a ridiculously high per screen average, which might indicate that it’ll be able to hold on through Oscar season despite extremely mixed reviews.
  • Richard Linklater and Todd Haynes will participate in a conversation on indie filmmaking at the 2009 SXSW Film Festival. The festival, which will go forward next year under the direction of Janet Pierson for the first time, will also welcome Stanley Kubrick’s brother-in-law/producer Jan Harlan and IMDb founder Col Needham.
  • Christine Vachon’s Killer Films will produce its first big-budget action movie, a medieval period pic called William the Conqueror.
