Final Weekend Numbers are in from BoxOfficeMojo and The Lorax scored number one again with $38,846,020 which is a reasonable drop of only -44.7%. The cumulative domestic box office gross is $121,724,850. Without adjustments for inflation, this means The Lorax has already become Zac's film with the highest lifetime domestic gross. Not surprising

It may be an animated movie, but I'm still really happy that it's done SO well.

I always end up loving the pictures we get from The Paperboy set. I don't know why though.

Oh my goodness, that is awesome. And hilarious.

OK, call me Mr. Buzzkill, but I am not amused by all these photos of people yucking it up with the remains of a dead animal, killed for no good purpose and used for entertainment value. Would they do the same with a dead dog?

that's pretty reductive though. i'm not really a fan at all of hunting (esp for sport) but dogs =/= alligators in so, so many ways.

and they weren't killed for no reason, they were killed to reduce the risk of attacks on zac and matt while filming. i think some were also killed (in line with normal hunting rules in louisiana) for the film explicitly. and personally i think they goofed around with it a bit just to become comfortable with a frightening creature that was suddenly co-existing with them. that could be viewed negatively as some sort of man must dominate all nature but you gotta do what you gotta do.

"just to become comfortable with a frightening creature that was suddenly co-existing with them"

Who was intruding into who's environment? Or, who were the real frightening creatures?

I understand the psychology, but I personally would never participate in these kinds of antics just to relieve my anxiety. Even when it is "necessasry" to kill wildlife, show some respect.

Ha ha, GQ didn't mention the sunglasses as part of the stylish ensemble.
