Wong Kar Wai’s English-language debut My Blueberry Nights, starring Anglo-American and Bengali jazz/pop chanteuse Norah Jones, took in $74,146 on 6 screens in its first week of release. Reviews have been lukewarm for the film, with most critics saying its beautifully shot but low on substance and energy. The trailer is pretty easy on the eyes:
In mainstream film news, 21, which was based off of an original story that had some Asian Americans in it here and there, maintained its #1 spot at the box office this past week earning a total of $46.5 million dollars since its release. It will most likely be usurped this weekend by the dreamy-looking hapa Keanu Reeves and his terrible-looking Street Kings (trailer below) which opens this Friday.
