Universal Studios LogoVariety are reporting that the sale of NBC Universal has taken a step closer as the $30 billion value has been agreed by General Electric (which holds an 80% share in the company) and Comcast.

They go on to say:

“Under the proposed deal, Comcast would take a 51% stake.”

“However, it is not a done deal as Vivendi, which holds the remaining 20% in NBC U, is able to veto the pact. The Federal Communications Commission could also scupper the plan on anti-trust grounds.”

More info as we get it.

Woody HarrelsonIt seems that the hype, marketing and a really funny movie has sent Zomebieland flying to the top of the the US box office. This is Harrelson’s most successful opening weekend taking in $25m. His previous best was Indecent Proposal back in 1993 which took $18m.

Zombieland is out in the UK 7th October. We saw it last week and our review is here.
