Duplicity

DreamWorks Animation's Monsters vs. Aliens scored the best opening of the year over the weekend earning an estimated $58.2 million. The movie's success signals to studios that audiences don't seem to mind paying an extra few dollars for movies in 3-D.

Meanwhile, the super scary-looking horror flick The Haunting in Connecticut was No. 2, grossing an estimated $23 million, followed by Knowing. Most of you said you'd be off to see I Love You, Man this weekend and the comedy hung out in the top five at No. 4, followed by Duplicity.

The special effects thriller Knowing handily won the box office over the weekend with an estimated $24.8 million. Meanwhile, Paul Rudd and Jason Segel's comedy I Love You, Man came in second place with an estimated $18 million, followed by Duplicity, starring Clive Owen and Julia Roberts, at No. 3.

Race to Witch Mountain slid to No. 4 after winning the top spot a week ago, while Watchmen continued its free-fall to the fifth spot, earning a total of $98.1 million since debuting three weeks ago.

Oscar-winner Julia Roberts and Clive Owen star as spies-turned-corporate operatives in the midst of a clandestine love affair in Duplicity, from writer/director Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton). CIA officer Claire Stenwick (Roberts) and MI6 agent Ray Koval (Owen) have left the world of government intelligence to cash in on the highly profitable corporate security business. When they find themselves on either side of an all-out corporate war, they discover the toughest part of the job is deciding how much to trust the one you love.

Duplicity — now playing in theaters everywhere.

It's hard to go wrong with Julia Roberts and Clive Owen in a movie together. The two starred in Closer as a couple in a toxic marriage. This time around they play two corporate spies who are intoxicated with each other. The sexy part comes from the way they look (Owen is tan, Roberts is back with that big ol' movie star smile) and the fact that the characters' day jobs make it hard for them to trust each other, despite the longing between them.

I was expecting Duplicity to be the kind of movie at which I could kick back and enjoy the chemistry between the two stars. You know, the kind of movie in which double-crossing is just a spy's way of flirting, and covert operation lingo is laced with innuendo. I'm sad to report that's not the movie I viewed at all.

After their adventures overseas, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen premiered Duplicity in NYC last night. Neither brought their spouse on the red carpet, but at this point the costars are used to sharing the spotlight with each other. Julia never misses a moment to talk about how her life is a "pretty sunny existence" these days, which is why she wants to mix it up with her roles. She said films are "how I explore what I don't want out of my life in a safe place." Julia and Clive first demonstrated their chemistry in Closer, but this time their playful nature gets to shine when they go toe to toe on the big screen.

Julia Roberts was busy running around Paris yesterday before joining Clive Owen on the red carpet as they continue to promote Duplicity abroad. Clive, who stopped over in Madrid after he and Julia hit London, is high on our spring shirtless wish list but if a suit is what he's offering we'll take it. It looks like Julia has been on her European adventure without her three kids, but she's still sporting the strip of hair she dyed pink at her daughter Hazel's request.

Julia Roberts and Clive Owen joined up in London last night for the premiere of their film Duplicity. Clive and his wife Sarah-Jane walked the red carpet together, but Julia was rolling without her husband Danny. She recently opened up about all the fun she had working with Clive, and her affection for him was on display as they posed for photos. He saved the real loving for his wife, giving her a big kiss in front of the cameras. We'll be seeing more of Clive and Julia as they gear up for their movie's March 20 release stateside.
