Things are relatively quiet over at Moviefone's Inside Movies today -- and who can blame them as it is New Year's Day -- but there are a few interesting nuggets ready for your perusal.

There's a forecast of the weekend's box office and it looks pretty darn good, for Hollywood's sake. Expect the other-worldly success of 'Avatar' to continue, along with strong showings for 'Alvin and the Chipmunks: the Squeakuel' and 'Sherlock Holmes.' Inside Movies deduces a strong $350 total box office 'Avatar' by the end of the weekend. On the low end, a measly $4 mil for 'Nine.'Things are relatively quiet over at Moviefone's Inside Movies today -- and who can blame them as it is New Year's Day -- but there are a few interesting nuggets ready for your perusal.

Also, the 1993 rom-com 'Heart and Souls' is the free movie of the day. Robert Downey Jr. -- sans iron armor and tweed jacket -- stars as a ruthless banker who's guided to goodness by souls from the afterlife. Elisabeth Shue is Downey's romantic lead and we think it's a nice way to start 2010.
