Rookie canine officer Tyrus joined three-year veteran officer Titus for a swearing-in ceremony at the Perry County Law Enforcement Complex. Greenstein said Sony will submit the film for release ‘and we’ll see if we get accepted or not’.

In a summer of more disappointments than success at the movie box office, animation has been the one big bright spot at the turnstiles. Even if “Ghostbusters” can’t emulate those films, it should still benefit from a solid CinemaScore (B+) and a continued marketing spend from Sony, which has a lot riding on the film.
Ghostbusters is destined to become a fully revived film franchise, with sequels all but in the works. Its total gross stood at $445.5 million, beating out “Shrek 2’s” $441.2 million domestic haul.
Not doing so well from last week is Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, which landed just $7.5 million to bring its domestic up to $31 million.
Fox’s Ice Age: Collision Course topped the foreign box-office chart with $53 million from 51 markets, putting its worldwide total at $127 million ahead of its domestic launch on July 22.
