'Last Exorcism: Part II': Watch The First Scene Now

Today marks the release of "The Last Exorcism: Part II," a continuation of the story of Nell Sweetzer that looks completely different from the found footage original. To get a sense of the new perspective, you can check out the first scene from the sequel, which just went up over at Yahoo! Movies.

The scene begins with a simple, scary premise. A couple lies in bed, and when the wife gets up, someone (or something) replaces her next to the husband. It's an unsettling set-up that pays off with a creepy search through the house for the chilly invader.

Check out the clip above and head over to MTV News to read our interview with producer Eli Roth about "The Last Exorcism: Part II."

Jack The Box Office Giant Slayer Beat Out All The Competition In Theaters This Weekend!

Sorry! If you're not an Academy Award nominated film or starring Melissa McCarthy, movie-goers just are NOT interested in watching you this year!

Well, scratch that...sort of!

Although Identity Thief has done so well that after a month of release, it's made $100 million domestically and become 2013's first blockbuster, it was bumped from the number one spot in the weekend box office by none other than Jack the Giant Slayer!

However, even though Bryan Singer's fantasy epic came in on top, it's still considered a financial flop, as it cost nearly $200 million to make and only brought in about $28 million in its premiere weekend!

OUCH!

Of course, it still fared better than The Hangover with college kids 21 and Over, which made $9 million, as well as Ed Harris and David Duchovny's Phantom, which became the 15th worst debut for a film that opened on at least 600 screens!

How bad does that make it?

The submarine thriller was released to 1,100 theaters, yet still only made $465,000!

Again with the OUCH!

In retrospect, we think the team behind Jack should be counting their blessings that they managed to make what they made! It is ROUGH out there!

Ch-ch-check out the full, abysmal box office top ten this weekend....AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Jack the Giant Slayer, $28 million
Identity Thief, $9.7 million
21 and Over, $9 million
The Last Exorcism Part II, $8 million
Snitch, $7.7 million
Escape From Planet Earth, $6.7 million
Safe Haven, $6.3 million
Silver Linings Playbook, $5.9 million
A Good Day to Die Hard, $4.5 million
Dark Skies, $3.6 million

Why Go with a Structured Settlement?

After an individual suffers a severe injury and a settlement is reached, he or she is left with the option of either taking a lump sum of cash, or a structured settlement. Today on Ringler Radio, Larry Cohen joins co-host and colleague, Keith Christie, to get a lawyer's perspective from Attorney Trey Haik from the law firm of Haik, Minvielle & Grubbs, on the benefits of the structured settlement and how a structure can financially support clients and their families for years to come.

Gary Oldman To Lead Humanity In 'Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes'

It's almost as if the makers of "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" are interested in making the sequel to "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" really, really good. First they go and get Matt Reeves to replace Rupert Wyatt. Then they cast "Zero Dark Thirty" break-out and star-waiting-to-happen Jason Clarke in the lead human role. Follow that with adding "The Road"'s Kodi Smit-McPhee, and you've got a movie.

But wait...there's more!

ComingSoon is reporting that famed franchise enhancer Gary Oldman is the latest to join the "Apes" sequel. According to the site, Oldman will play the leader of a human colony in a world where most of humanity has been wiped out by the virus hinted at during the climax of "Rise" and the apes have taken over.

Oldman's future co-star Jason Clark played coy about his role in the sci-fi adventure on the red carpet of the Academy Awards, only telling MTV News that he "plays a guy who's trying to save humanity."

We've learned little else about the film, which is supposed to open on May 23, 2014, expect that it takes place 15 years after Caesar's rise to power and that Andy Serkis will be reprising his role as the ape leader.

What do you think of Gary Oldman joining "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes"? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below and on Twitter!

Say-On-Pay Following in Footsteps of M&A Suits

A new type of securities lawsuit over say-on-pay advisory votes is so similar to shareholder suits filed over mergers and acquisitions that a new M&A litigation study includes a look at the say-on-pay suits. The shareholder litigants also make claims about a company's faulty disclosure and pursue the same general strategy of seeking an injunction in hopes of getting a quick settlement, according to a study co-author.
