The film, which slipped to second place last weekend, has grossed $85.6 million. Last week reports circulated that its plot and surprise ending parallel Margaret Peterson Haddix’s first book “Running Out of Time,” published in 1995.

She saw “The Village” last week but declined to discuss her opinion of the film. “Let’s just say that I saw the same similarities that other people have pointed out,” she said.

Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Inc. (NYSE:DJT – news) on Monday said key bond holders had agreed to take the company into voluntary bankruptcy and restructure its $1.8 billion in debt to get a $400 million capital infusion.

Donald Trump, the real estate developer and star of reality show “The Apprentice” appeared poised to use his trademark line “You’re fired!” on himself as chief executive and to cut his controlling stake to 25 percent if the deal with debt holders and a Credit Suisse First Boston equity fund goes through.
