Hitting screens on December 23, the movie stars Emile Hirsch as one of a group of American teens visiting Russia when invisible aliens attack. If it isn't obvious by the action-packed trailer and the holiday release date, Summit is going for blockbuster business with this one.

Strigoi: The Undead is a quirky little English-language exploration into the vampire-like Romanian legend of the strigoi, people who return from the dead to get revenge for wrongdoing…and to suck blood. It’s a smart film that delves not only into Old World superstitions, but also the Romanian peoples’ struggle to shake off the shackles of Communism. Read about it in my review of Strigoi: The Undead.

It showed in only eight theaters this past weekend, but the acclaimed (88% on Rotten Tomatoes) British alien invasion pic Attack the Block scared up an estimated $130,000, with a better per-screen average ($16,250) than any of the major motion pictures — Cowboys and Aliens, The Smurfs, Crazy Stupid Love — that opened on Friday.
