Tim McGraw's movie career is enjoying a big boost as The Blind Side is doing quite well. The film, which co-stars Sandra Bullock, was # 1 at the box office on its third week and this weekend came in second only to the new animated Disney picture The Princess and the Frog. The Blind Side earned $15.5 million over the weekend, taking its box office total to $150.2 million. Tim told The Tennessean, "You do these movies, and the reason you do them is because you read the script and you like it, but you never really know how it's going to turn out. Then you go shoot it, and it's hard to get a feel while you're shooting the movie of what it's like. It makes you sort of nervous because when you're done, it's not like your album where you can go in and mix it and do all the little tweaks you want to do. … You just give your permission to use your performance and go away. And, they have so many takes of everything you do, and you don't have any choice of which take they use."
 
Tim begins filming his next movie, Love Don't Let Me Down, with Gwyneth Paltrow in Nashville after the first of the year. He says, "I can say that she plays a country music singer, and I don't. She can sing, and it's a pretty heavy story. I play her husband and her manager."
