Charities get cut of 9/11 film profit
From the Associated Press
“World Trade Center,” Oliver Stone’s movie about the rescue of two police officers from the towers on Sept. 11, will donate 10% of the box office receipts from its first five days to a ground zero memorial and three other Sept. 11-related charities.
The Paramount Pictures film, starring Nicolas Cage and Michael Pena as police officers for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey who are trapped for hours in the rubble, opens Aug. 9 at more than 2,000 theaters nationwide.
