“Bully”–the controversial documentary from the Weinstein Company–finally got a PG-13 rating today from the MPAA. The movie had received an R rating originally, prompting a massive backlash and a publicity campaign that spawned a national petition, celebrity protests, and lots of free airtime. The Weinstein Company released “Bully,” directed by Lee Hirsch, last Friday without a rating in New York and Los Angeles.

Netflix says it will stream certain movies from The Weinstein Co., including "The Artist," under an exclusive licensing agreement.

If the Weinstein Co. is chilling any champagne for the opening of Quentin Tarantino's latest film, it's okay to pop it now. "Inglourious Basterds" made a killing Friday, reaping an estimated $14.3 million from 3,165 theaters to easily score Tarantino's best opening day ever at the domestic box office.
