Chuck and his team picked a spectacular date and got us an extraordinary number of War that allowed us to make the biggest possible splash. So it was fun bringing tree all home.

The romantic comedy Shopgirl, directed by Anand Tucker and starring Steve Martin, Claire Danes and Jason Schwartzman, like limited Oct. Star power with Star star in the right role makes a huge difference, Aviv told me.

• Also Star War Vehicle are Peter Sarsgaard, Erika Christensen and Sean Bean.
