500 Days of Summer at the Box Office
500 Days of Summer began its limited debut at the start of this weekend on Friday. How did it do at the box office?
(500) Days of Summer had a big debut, averaging a huge $31K per theater to land a No. 12 box-office rating despite playing on only 27 screens. It was a smash with critics, ranking No. 4 at Rotten Tomatoes among the B.O. Top 20, and audiences also swooned, with the film’s 8.3 IMDB rating tying it for No. 3 with The Hangover and Moon. — examiner.com

July 19th, 2009500 Days of Summer TV Spot: “Boy Meets Girl”
It’s alright. Not as compelling as this first tv spot I came across just over a week ago. Suppose this spot is for a more general audience. Shows off the format of the film well.
July 18th, 2009Roger Ebert Reviews 500 Days of Summer
We never remember in chronological order, especially when we’re going back over a failed romance. We start near the end, and then hop around between the times that were good and the times that left pain. People always say “start at the beginning,” but we didn’t know at the time it was the beginning. “500 Days of Summer” is a movie that works that way.
Some say they’re annoyed by the way it begins on Day 488 or whatever and then jumps around, providing utterly unhelpful data labels: “Day 1,” “Day 249.” Movies are supposed to reassure us that events unfold in an orderly procession. But Tom remembers his love, Summer, as a series of joys and bafflements. What kind of woman likes you perfectly sincerely and has no one else in her life but is not interested in ever getting married?

NYTimes: Anatomy of a Scene for 500 Days of Summer
Marc Webb, the director of “(500) Days of Summer,” discusses a dance sequence from the film.
This is an extremely cool feature that allows you to watch the full scene with or without commentary from Marc Webb. I strongly discourage you from watching this until after you’ve seen the film, (which comes out now in less than 500 Minutes on the East coast!)
