Did you know that Katie Holmes has two films opening at Sundance? Yeah, I didn’t either. But according to People Magazine, Katie’s arrival was “much-anticipated”. Sure, okay. She’s promoting The Extra Man (which I don’t even remember her filming) and The Romantics, that one that she just completed a few months ago. People claims that Katie arrived without bodyguards and without husband Tom Cruise, and that she’s been “really comfortable and really calm”. I guess they were expecting her to be distraught without Tom there? Or for her to just wander around muttering “It’s so amazing… it’s so magical.”

The much-anticipated arrival of Katie Holmes at the Sundance Film Festival took place Monday night amid a flurry of flashbulbs and friends.

The actress – who’s at the Utah fest with two movies, The Extra Man and The Romantics – arrived looking cute and cozy in the snow but without hubby Tom Cruise.

Holmes, 31, started her evening by heading to the Hotel Park City for dinner with pals before her The Extra Man premiere. “Katie arrived at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse,” says a onlooker, “with five people – three girls and two guys.

“She sat a real great table in the middle of the restaurant. A lot of people knew who she was but no one really approached her. She seemed really comfortable and really calm – really seemed content,” adds the eyewitness.

Per the Sundance style, Holmes kept the vibe cool. “She got up and walked around the restaurant by herself, no security or anything,” says the onlooker. “The table shared a bottle of red wine. When she left they went out to the car they had waiting.”

Also dining together in the steakhouse were Kerry Washington and Naomi Watts, stars of Mother and Child.

Following dinner, Holmes hit the red carpet for her premiere. In a white beanie and scarf combo she fit in perfectly with the causal festival look, and she posed for photographers along with costars Kevin Kline, Paul Dano and John C. Reilly.

On Tuesday, Holmes is expected to attend her second premiere, for The Romantics. The romantic comedy, which focuses on a group of college friends who reunite after 6 years for a wedding, features an all-star ensemble that also includes Josh Duhamel, Anna Paquin and Adam Brody.

Yeah, this was kind of a meh story, but I just liked the photos of Katie in Sundance, and I also wanted to point out that while everyone is “Oh My GOD Brad and Angelina are going to break up because they are never seen with each other, for like weeks!” it seems like Katie and Tom go off and do their own things too. There was actually a blind item possibly about Katie and Tom’s living situation from Blind Gossip (via D-Listed): “Far more complex and interesting is the ongoing saga of Chip and Grin, who are now living completely apart with a new agreement signed and sealed. She has the kid/s full time, which was a major triumph for her. Where did she get so much leverage? She found out that her marriage isn’t valid in the US and that Grin is planning on abetting a criminal pal (and alleged lover) of his out of the country and into a private love shack.” Tom and Katie, yes? He’s Grin because of that maniac grin of his, and she’s Chip because… she’s a robot and she needs computer chips?

By the way, look at what Tom was doing yesterday:
