Jason Voorhees is still unstoppable. It was a bloodbath at the weekend box office when the remake of the 1980 horror movie “Friday the 13th” slashed its way to No. 1, earning $42.5 million in its first weekend in theaters, more than double the total of the No. 2 movie, “He’s Just Not That Into You.” Both are Warner Brothers pictures, though, so it was a lucrative weekend for the company. “He’s Just Not That Into You,” the romantic comedy with an ensemble cast including Ginnifer Goodwin and Bradley Cooper, made $20.3 million in it second week, for a total of $55.8 million to date, according to the box office tracking firm Media by Numbers. The action movie “Taken” (20th Century Fox), starring Liam Neeson, fell from second place to third, earning $19.3 million (for a total of $77.9 million to date). The new comedy “Confessions of a Shopaholic” (Disney), starring Isla Fisher, came in fourth with $15.4 million, and “Coraline” (Focus), the 3D animated feature based on a novel by Neil Gaiman, placed fifth with $15.3 million in its second week, up to $35.6 million to date.

Other big movers were Isla, climbing from 58th to 35th, and Summer, up from 44th to 16th. The emergence of the first could have something to do with former Home and Away actress Isla Fisher, engaged to Borat comic Sacha Baren Cohen.

The actress stars tonight on Starz Edge in The Lookout.
By Allison Moore

Washington, D.C. (July 29, 2008) — Following our extremely popular contest, ‘HD Hottie Hysteria,’ we’ve started a new feature in which we will highlight a top female star every day. The gorgeous female will come from a program that can be seen in gorgeous high-def that very day.

Today’s ‘HD Hottie’ is Isla Fisher, who stars tonight in high-def in The Lookout on Starz Edge at 9 p.m.

The 32-year-old actress, who was born in Australia, started as a soap opera actress in her native country. But her first big break was landing the role of Vince Vaughn’s girlfriend in the smash 2005 comedy, Wedding Crashers.

Since then, Isla has starred in The Lookout, London, Wedding Daze and Hot Rod. Her most recent film was Definitely, Maybe with Ryan Reynolds. Her next movie will be Confessions of a Shopaholic, due out in 2009.

Isla is also well known for being the fiance of comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, a.k.a. Borat.

So, here is Isla Fisher, today’s HD Hottie:

THEY have already had the baby and their commitment is as enduring as any wedding ring, but Aussie actress Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen have again postponed their nuptials due to heavy work schedules.

The Hollywood-based couple, who welcomed their first-born daughter Olive last year, originally planned to tie the knot later this year.

But their stellar careers are keeping them from saying “I do”, with both stars in constant demand for big screen projects.

While Cohen is channelling all his energy into the hugely anticipated Borat follow-up film Bruno, Fisher has spent the past four months shooting Confessions of a Shopaholic in New York.

“It’s going to happen, it’s just hard for them to find the time at the moment,” a source close to Fisher told Confidential.
