Despite good reviews and a classic Tim Burton feel, Frankenweenie underperformed at the box office this weekend.

This week, two relics of ‘90s alternaculture are openly revisiting their pasts with what are essentially reissues of their earlier work. Tori Amos has released Gold Dust, a collection of 14 (or 15, depending on which version you have) songs from her back catalog that she's rerecorded with the Metropole Orchestra. Meanwhile, Tim Burton has converted his pre-Pee Wee's Big Adventure short film Frankenweenie into a full-length stop-motion feature. It's out Friday.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O's contribution to the soundtrack of Tim Burton's upcoming full-length Frankenweenie movie is brazenly sweet, even coming from the woman responsible for the Where the Wild Things Are soundtrack. It is sugary enough to speak the language of children fluently.

The star of our favorite show about a super-powered kid is returning to the airwaves. Also today: Ricky Gervais stops by an American office, the 2012 film schedule shifts to accommodate the end of the world, and TV casting news.
