Despite the modest domestic success of “Burlesque,” the film is racing towards $100 million in box office receipts worldwide, which Antin takes as a sign that people are still interested in musicals. “It’s hard to get any movie made today,” he observed. “I don’t generally musicals or get involved with them if they don’t have a real commercial viability, because a musical should be commercial, I think; they should appeal to mass culture. [But] people are still interested in hearing about musicals – everybody is. Every studio wants to hear about them, from the right people, I think, and about the right kind of musicals. I’m sort of the right guy to now to pitch musicals and I have been for a while because my reel reflected that, my music video reel that I had done. I obviously have a pretty good filmography with musicals I can walk the walk, and talk the talk. And I have been involved with music and choreography almost my whole life.”
Home Media Retailing: "Burlesque projected to debut Top 5 DVD sales and #1 Rental
Quote:
What looks to be the biggest sales week so far of 2011 is shaping up to be a battle for the top spot between Disney’s new Bambi Blu-ray and the first full week for DreamWorks’ Megamind. But in a crowded field, anything is possible.
New releases Burlesque, Love & Other Drugs and 127 Hours are also strong contenders for a top 5 debut, giving the charts a much-needed shake-up after several slow weeks.
Burlesque is the biggest new title without a delay to kiosks, so it is the likely top rental for the week.
I loved Xtina' singing, as usual, she still has her pipes . I never knew she knows how to act, and dance like she did in the movie. It's a shame that Bionic didn't do as well as it should have, because with that movie, Bionic would've been platinum by then

I agree, but at least the soundtrack is doing great! It will be at the top 20 this week.
About the movie, I thought Christina was great in pretty much every aspect too: acting, singing, dancing, and she looked amazing as well.
Following her Tuesday arrest for public intoxication, Christina Aguilera and beau Matt Rutler slipped out to L.A.'s Osteria Mozza for a quiet dinner around 11 p.m. Friday. After eating, the couple realized photographers were outside waiting for them, so the singer called her bodyguard to come drive her car home, while she and Rutler, who was also arrested Tuesday on suspicion of DUI, discreetly took a limo.
They showed a documentary about DJ Stolen in Germany and showed two of Christina's tracks: Bionic (which is on her album) and Kimono Girl (which was rumoured to leak). Seems like he really had the song.
