AFP - The global economic downturn has hit businesses around the world, from big banks to local shops, leaving millions in fear of losing their livelihoods and desperate to cut down on spending.

By exploiting a traditionally soft release period on the foreign circuit, Disney dominated weekend action for the second consecutive round with four titles generating more than $31 million, including No. 1-ranked "Surrogates," which grossed $11.8 million from 2,251 screens in 25 territories.

Foreign B.O.: Foreign box office topped by 'Up,' 'Surrogates' -- Disney scored a one-two punch at the foreign box office with "Up" and "Surrogates" combining for over $24 million during a typically moderate autumn session on Sept. 25-27.

Film News: Disney bash first release after Cook's departure -- While there's a note of irony in Disney's first release since studio topper Dick Cook ankled being called "Surrogates," it was the film rather than the succession question that filmmakers spoke of at Thursday's preem.

The Dude on the Right and Stu Gotz have a busy weekend, but thankfully a lot of it during this "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast isn't about politics, although there is talk about President Obama going to Denmark to cheer on the Chicago Olympic folks, although we doubt he'll be giving Chia Obama's as parting gifts. The Dude is bummed he missed the F-Bomb dropping during Saturday Night Live, Stu wants The Dude to watch Pawn Shop, and who knew Stu Gotz would spawn some talented kids, but he did! They talk about flu shots at strip clubs, how they both didn't like the movie "Surrogates," options to record/watch all of their TV shows, and happily Stu's personal phone call from Jim Cantore wasn't necessary for his family's safety this time, but he was glad he got one. Somehow, even with all of this, they even get some time to talk about The Chicago Bears, and Stu makes the discovery of a lifetime, namely he found where you can buy Franken Berry, Boo Berry, and Count Chocula. All is well with the world.
