Hollywood Report: 4 Studios carve up big holiday boxoffice


Buena Vista/Hollywood has the comedy "The Distinguished Gentleman," directed by Jonathan Lynn and starring Eddie Murphy, opening Friday at 1,800-plus screens. As I've already noted here, this is the old and very funny Eddie Murphy back on the screen and it looms as a big hit.
