Guess The Movie From The Plot Description (no Google)

Pretty straightforward. I'll start with three:

1. A high school senior in Chicago plans an elaborate ditch day with his girlfriend and best friend while their unhinged principal chases after them.

2. While investigating the planned destruction of his home world, the heir to the throne is imprisoned on the other side of the universe by a cult leader and has to fight his way back.

3. A high end clothing store in London moonlights as a high tech spy agency and plots to take down a tech billionaire who uses cell phones as part of a world domination plot.
