Secret Service Agent Channing Tatum and President Jamie Foxx run for cover in ‘White House Down’ (Columbia Pictures/Reiner Bajo)

Based on last weekend’s box office receipts, it would appear movie audiences love seeing the White House get totally clobbered. Olympus Has Fallen—which is not a very good movie—raked in $30.5 million in its opening weekend.

But the White House’s year of cinematic punishment is only beginning. Just as the wreckage is being cleared from Gerard Butler’s one-man mission to reclaim the executive mansion comes the first extended trailer for White House Down. Oh, yes, there are two big-budget movies in 2013 in which the White House gets taken over by terrorists.

White House Down comes from disaster-master Roland Emmerich, who previously destroyed the White House in Independence Day (aliens), The Day After Tomorrow (ice age), and 2012 (geological apocalypse). But the broad strokes are remarkably similar to Olympus Has Fallen. Channing Tatum replaces Butler as the lone-wolf Secret Service agent who saves the republic, Jamie Foxx steps in for Aaron Eckhart as the president taken hostage, Jason Clarke takes over for Rick Yune as the terrorist mastermind, and Richard Jenkins fills in for Morgan Freeman as speaker of the House. (By the way, with both these movies featuring House speakers, is it any wonder what the producers of these things think of the vice presidency?)

Anyway, the trailer for White House Down suggests that the carnage visited upon Washington in Olympus Has Fallen is kids’ stuff, in which a cargo plane rained gunfire on National Mall tourists and toppled the Washington Monument. In White House Down, look forward to seeing the demise of the U.S. Capitol, Air Force One, and even the presidential limousine, which appears to get fragged by a shoulder-mounted missile and skids into a White House swimming pool.
