Right, but Putin is not known for shedding tears. Even if any accusations are leveled against Spum or Hartman.
 
What’s gonna happen in January of 08?
Christmas Day movies for 2007 will come first but I haven't figured out the slate yet.

But in January of 2008, you have the very first NHL Winter Classic plus the NFL playoffs. Also, the winner of the Goodwill Games TV rights through 2015 will be announced as soon as one potential rightsholder gets at least 50% of the vote so that poll will stay open until then.

Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007 Film)
257526_full.jpg

Alvin and the Chipmunks
Released by Paramount Pictures on December 14, 2007

Production companies
Bagdasarian Productions
Rhythm and Hues Studios

Notes
Alvin and the Chipmunks was the first project since the Bagdasarian family sold the franchise to Microsoft in 2005. Historically ITTL, Paramount had been very thin on family properties outside of acquisitions.

Logo trivia:
Alvin and the Chipmunks starts with the early-2000's Paramount logo, introduced IOTL for the studio's 90th anniversary. Except this title is the first to carry the byline "A TBS+Paramount Company" temporarily in the same Helvetica font as the old Gulf+Western byline from the Seventies and Eighties. A permanent byline, which will feature the actual TBS and Paramount fonts, will be unveiled later in 2008.​

Is this movie better than the OTL version? Or is it still reviled by fans?

Look at it this way. At least reruns of the 60s and 80s cartoons won't cost CN or Boomerang a penny now.

Nice.
 
Is it as SUCCESSFUL as IOTL? Cause if I recall the movie IOTL made a pretty penny, enough to make three sequels.
Actually ITTL, Alvin did better at the box office than I am Legend. According to one AMC Theatres employee, they found that most bachelors and basement dwellers that they surveyed would rather sit through talking chipmunks than a bleak pandemic/vampire/zombie snoozefest.

Also, in case anyone is wondering, Marvel and DC both gave WB permission to have a Superman/Captain America billboard in the ruins of Times Square for a few seconds in TTL's version of I Am Legend.

I can do without this movie doing well with basement dwellers, but if bachelors would rather see Alvin than Legend, then I'd approve of the sequels here.

I take it you don’t like I Am Legend very much

IOTL, I was 19. When I went to a weeknight moive with a relative, I had a choice between that and Alvin. I chose I Am Legend and I wound up regretting it later because of how much my younger cousins liked Alvin when it came out on DVD.

Whatever happened to Hoku? Last we heard, she sang an acoustic version of "Perfect Day" at the 2001 star-studded wedding of Legally Blonde star Reese Witherspoon and X-Men star Gus St. Pierre. A year later, she toured the state of Texas with Del St. Pierre and Luz Ramirez. Hoku said that her experience traveling together with Del and Luz inspired the lyrics to the 2002 single "Carne Asada Gumbo." The eponymous recipe has now reached a new cookbook being released by Paul Prudhomme. Hoku meanwhile has returned to Honolulu where she has formed her own label on which she plans to release a new EP next year.

Meanwhile...

"When we launched MyTV with TimeWarner in 2002, right from the get-go we couldn't agree on what direction to take the network. For the first six or seven years after Disney started the Fox network in 1986, that network was the Wild West. Affiliates in some markets were glorified public access channels...most still ran the same off-network reruns...a lot of kiddie shows with repackaged cartoons made comebacks in some areas...In other places a Fox station would often be a defacto carrier for the nearby NHL, MLB, NBA or college teams. TimeWarner didn't want that. They wanted a full slate of shows right away. That's why we imported all those telenovelas and tried to revive a few obscure Merv Griffin game shows that WB acquired a decade earlier."
