One Day in the Valley

"One Day in the Valley"

"One Day in the Valley" is an Emmy-winning episode from Season 3 of the dramedy television series Entourage.

Plot

It's Aquaman's opening day and the pressure is on. Initial box office projections, already "Titanic"-sized, get even higher after the first East Coast numbers stream in, giving everyone hope that the film has a chance to pass Spider-Man as the biggest opening weekend in history. To avoid getting recognized, Vince and the boys decide to take in a showing in the Valley, but the 100 degree heat sets blackouts and unsure West Coast numbers. The bouncing box office receipts and the heat push everyone to the brink, so to unwind, the crew ends up crashing a high school party, where Vince gets to live out his Almost Famous fantasy. When Ari finally finds them - a drunken Vince celebrating on a rooftop - he breaks the big news: Aquaman is back on track to break the weekend box office record.

Goofs

• As the guys are stuck in traffic E talks to Ari on the phone mentioning he is in Northridge. As Turtle makes a U-Turn the street sign shows Burbank Blvd. This street does not go through Northridge.
• In the dvd commentary of Season 3 part 1, Jerry Ferrara aka Turtle mentions that during the house sense where the boys first enter the teenage party house, he is missing for one scene. The Reason he is not shown as during the filming they stopped for a while and he went home. He actually hoped the producers would not put that in the final cut, unfortunately they did.
