If ticketholders weren't already upset by the cancellation of Amy Winehouse's upcoming show in Chicago, they will be now: both of the White Stripes' dates at the Aragon (Oct. 6-7) have been cancelled as well. A press release explained that drummer Meg White is suffering from "acute anxiety" and unable to travel, so the entire tour has been called off. Says the band, "We hate to let people down and are very sorry." Well, we forgive you Jack and Meg. Get well soon. Then come back!

"Yuma" corrals slow weekend Audiences gave a collective yawn towards last week’s new releases, with “3:10 to Yuma” topping the box office with an unimpressive $14.1 million. That’s awfully low for a well-reviewed vehicle starring Christian Bale and Russell Crowe, but considering the pleasant weather and people’s general disinterest in Westerns, $14 million isn’t too shabby. $5.5 million, however, is pretty shabby, though, and that’s all that the repulsive action flick “Shoot ‘Em Up” took in over the weekend to land at No. 6. (Smart move, America.) But the weekend’s big, big, big loser was “The Brothers Solomon,” an occasionally funny comedy that brought in just over $500,000. Yikes. Did you strap on your spurs and go see “3:10 to Yuma”? How do you think “Shoot ‘Em Up” compares to that other Clive-Owen-protecting-a-baby movie, “Children of Men”?

Who says people have had enough "Halloween" movies? Rob Zombie's remake of the original slasher classic topped the box office over the holiday weekend with a better-than-predicted $31 million. In fact, that makes the otherwise disappointing "Halloween" the highest-grossing Labor Day debut ever, ahead of the previous champ, 2005's "Transporter 2" with $18.1 million. In third place this week was "Balls of Fury" with an OK $14.3 million, far better than the week's big bomb, "Death Sentence." Kevin Bacon's action flick took in only $5.2 million to land at No. 8. Do you prefer the original "Halloween" or the remake? Does the title "Balls of Fury" make you giggle?

Here's the good news: This weekend, summer box office tallies passed the $4 billion mark for the first time in history. The bad news? The week's new releases hardly contributed to that at all.

The hilarious "Superbad" held strong at No. 1, bringing in $18 million in its second week of release. Threequels of vastly varying quality "The Bourne Ultimatum" and "Rush Hour 3" followed. The highest-grossing new release, "Mr. Bean's Holiday," earned only $10.1 million to place fourth, followed by "War" at No. 5 with $10 million. Earnings for "The Nanny Diaries" ($7.81 million) and "Resurrecting the Champ" ($1.8 million) ranged from pathetic to very, very pathetic.

Have you seen "Superbad" yet? Did you really cough up $10 to see "Mr. Bean's Holiday"? Who thinks Rob Zombie's "Halloween" remake looks totally terrifying?

Tickets or no tickets, you won't be seeing the buzzworthy British soul singer this time around. Winehouse's management confirmed today that all of her upcoming U.S. tour dates are cancelled--including her stop at Aragon Oct. 2 --"due to the rigours of touring." Refunds are available at the point of purchase.

Her European and UK dates in October and November are still on, though, and plans are in the works to reschedule the American tour for early 2008. For now, the singer has been ordered to rest. Is anyone willing to fly overseas to check out the show? What did you think of her Lollapalooza performance?

After a summer full of sequels, America still has a taste for more, and it’s a good thing. Director Paul Greengrass’ exciting and excellent “The Bourne Ultimatum” took in $70.2 million this weekend to top the box office, exceed tallies for the first two "Bourne" movies ($27.1 million, $52.5 million, respectively) and become the biggest August opening ever--besting the previous champ, "Rush Hour 2," which made $67.4 million over the same weekend in 2001. "Ultimatum" was also well ahead of the week's No. 2, “The Simpsons Movie,” which dipped to $25.6 million in its second week of release. No other new releases made any significant waves, with the corny “Underdog” coming in at No. 3 with $12 million and Andy Samberg crashing and burning with his big-screen debut, with “Hot Rod” earning $5.01 million to finish at No. 9.

Which is your favorite “Bourne” movie? Was “Ultimatum” good enough to make you believe in this week’s sequel, the awful-looking “Rush Hour 3”?

Not that we're surprised, but tickets for Wilco's Sept. 12 show at Millennium Park's Jay Pritzker Pavilion disappeared quickly, with more than 10,000 tix snatched up in less than 20 minutes. If you weren't one of the lucky few (thousand), well, you can always turn on the Chicago band's latest, "Sky Blue Sky," lay in a field and pretend you're at Millennium Park--at least then you won't have to fight every blade of grass.

Were you able to get tickets? Or is Jay Prizker Pavilion too small for such a popular hometown favorite? Can Wilco fill Northerly Island's Charter One Pavilion?

"The Simpsons" may be past its prime on TV, but it's certainly no slouch at the box office. After 18 years and 400 episodes of the show, fans were eager to see how huge Homer's belly looks on the big screen, and "The Simpsons Movie" took in $71.8 million to win the weekend. That makes it the third-biggest opening ever for an animated movie--behind $121.6 million for "Shrek the Third" and $108 million for "Shrek 2"--and put comedy's yellowest family way ahead of the weekend's No. 2, "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry," which earned $19.1 million in its second week. "The Simpsons" tally also destroyed the week's other major releases: "No Reservations" (No. 5, $11.8 million), "I Know Who Killed Me" (No. 9, $3.4 million) and "Who's Your Caddy" (No. 10, $2.9 million). That's right. Lindsay Lohan's new flick made only $500,000 more than a zero-star golf comedy starring Big Boi from OutKast.

Did "The Simpsons Movie" live up to expectations? Can the flick stay strong next week when it's up against Matt Damon's action sequel "The Bourne Ultimatum"? Is LiLo's career toast?

Renowned Chicagoans Wilco will be stopping home for a show this summer, and they couldn't have picked a better venue. Supporting their latest album "Sky Blue Sky," the alt-rockers appear Sept. 12 at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park. While pavilion seats will cost you $45, lawn tickets are only $10. We repeat: You can pay $10 to see Wilco outdoors. But don't break out the credit card yet; tickets go on sale 1 a.m. Saturday.

Will we see you there? What's your favorite Wilco album? Are they Chicago's best band?
