This pretty much Green lights the sequel :lol:

Haven't seen it but it was hard as hell to get seats at the local theatre
 
Yeah that was a huge shock, but its always good to see R-Rated films make the big money, I'll try and see "IT" some time this week. Glad to see Spidey hit the $800 million mark, deserved it, finally opened in China I guess.
 
haha i predicted it was gonna be a 100 mill flick..didn't think the first week sales yikes...i told ya the rise of the low budgets is on..think it cost 30-35 mil to make..horror flicks and comedies can't go wrong if done rite
 
already in the top 100 for R rated flicks...

Passion of Christ is #1 .... call it now ...does it catch it... ? i dont think it has any comp for the next couple weeks...

Girls Trip tho ....:money:



:yes:
 
117 tho ...school back in ...college football in full swing...nfl opening weekend...& R-rated...

that shit is fucking impressive...:yes:
it has a cult following and to many is 1 of the top scary films of all time..so you had all those people from decades ago wanting to see it..the stranger things cult following was intrigued by the trailer..the horror genre in itself has a cult following..the trailers actually looked good..it had hell of good reviews across the board from critics..lot of positives pushing that this film was gonna do good that's why i called it a sleeper hit in somebody thread and said it will make 100 mill overall..that first week sale shit though damn didn't think that
 
they remade a lot of movies that was good as shit & had cult followings & the remakes were trash ...too many to count actually ...lol

this is crazy ... did they just finally make a good remake...? no over analyzing ...?


found this article...:rolleyes2:


Oh, the horror! When lists of dreadful remakes are compiled, they inevitably include one or two (or three) horror revamps, and the point that’s always made is that the remakes are an outrage, an unholy sacrilege. Well, maybe they are, but really, who can tell these glossy bloody pulp insults apart? And who would even want to bother trying? The remake of “Halloween.” The remake of “Friday the 13th.” The remake of “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” The remakes of “Prom Night,” “Black Christmas,” “The Hills Have Eyes,” and “Last House on the Left.” The (first) remake of “Godzilla.” The remake of “The Thing.” All cruddy and impersonal and numbing and entirely unnecessary. Remaking “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” was like remaking the “Citizen Kane” of horror dementia — but yes, they did it (in 2003). And then they did it again (in 2013). You can call it blasphemy, and you wouldn’t be wrong, but it was really just one more barbarically pointless horror revamp that gave new meaning to the word “cannibalization.”

what decades were they released..how long was the original out compared to the remake?? how was the trailers, was it getting solid reviews from well trusted critics?.. also has a lot to do with timing... the thing from the 80's is prob 1 of the best remake ever(so good it was better than the original)..but ask yourself who saw the first thing? was their a huge cult following of the first thing?? were they even alive when the remake came out? was the reviews positive ? how was the trailers? movie tix prices compared to than to now..lot of things to be considered... people also forget" it" has a following from the books and a mini tv series.. it was available for free to the masses as a mini tv series.."it" came on various times a yr for decades..that's a whole lot of people it was available to see

Get ready for two things: remakes of Stephen King flicks already made and any of the Steven King books/short stories that haven't been produced, will be now.

Crazy that this will more than likely become truth. You gotta wonder how the sequel play out. It was good because of the kids really and the chemistry they had. Hopefully the adults can replicate it.

didn't see it yet..but i think the first 1 will be more like the sandlot and the 2nd movie more darker as adults..first movie was more of an introduction so that you could like the characters the 2nd will make you go no please don't die when "it" comes for them
