Resume GPA for Phone Calls/First Round Interviews for SA's

Hello, I come from a West Coast target school and am looking for a BB internship in summer 2012, but I am rather confused on how I should deal with my cumulative GPA on my resume..

I hear that it is a must to include your cumulative GPA rather than just your major GPA (if I'm wrong about that please correct me), so my question is, "What is the minimum cumulative GPA to be given phone interviews or even invited to first-round interviews?"

-- I hear the bare minimum is a 3.5, but do you think a 3.41 cumulative will be okay? My major GPA is around a 3.6 and the only reason my cumulative is low is because I took many film classes out of personal interest... and it just so happened that film class grade averages are around a B and are difficult for B-school kids like me haha... Totally kicking my self in the butt for taking those classes, but hey, I enjoyed them

Thanks for the responses!
