Denzel Washington set his own record today. “The Magnificent Seven” scored a $35 million opening weekend. It’s Denzel’s 13th opening in a row over $20 million.
It’s a win-win for Washington and for Sony Pictures, which has needed a live action hit desperately. “Mag 7” should spur sequels– as I wrote yesterday, director Antoine Fuqua is open to a Mag 8 and Mag 9.
Washington’s next movie is “Fences,” which he directed and stars in, coming from Paramount later this fall.

Showbiz411 is now in its 13th year of providing breaking and exclusive entertainment news. This is an independent site, unlike the many Hollywood trades that are owned by one company. To continue providing news that takes a fresh look at what's going on in movies, music, theater, etc, advertising is our basis. Reader donations would be greatly appreciated, too. They are just another facet of keeping fact based journalism alive.
