Rise of the Apes has been holding nicely. Guess we will get the sequel for sure.
I know i'm in the minority, but Fright Night sucked, and i'm glad it's doing poorly.

Re: The Help Works over Labor Day Weekend: Weekend Box Office Thread 9/2 - 9/5
Yawnnnnnnnnnnn... slow weekend. I'll prob go catch a screening of Shark Night tomorrow. I love awesomely bad movies, but this really should've been Summer 2011's Piranha 3D. Blood, boobs, more blood... and more boobs.
Re: Apes - I hope we do, and I hope they do it right. I'd love to see Fox up the budget to $150m and make it epic.
Re: FN - I'm with you. Seems like people are evenly split on how they like it, but most of my trusted horror friends loathed it. I won't ever bother with it.

It needs an extra $18 million to pass it domestically after Monday, which at this point, is doable. However, it won't gross significantly higher than that...

The New York Times reviews the summer boxoffice today:
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/05/bu...ef=todayspaper
I found this paragraph on the summer's two biggest flops interesting:
And, according to Fox's Tom Rothman, X-MEN FIRST CLASS and RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES were "very, very original pieces."
As opposed to merely "very original"? Or just plain "original"? Or only partly original?

I found this paragraph on the summer's two biggest flops interesting:
Which of the summer’s two major bombs, “Cowboys & Aliens” and “Green Lantern,” was the bigger financial calamity? Both will lose tens of millions, but “Green Lantern” is by far the larger loss. Warner, confident that it could create a new franchise with that film, decided not to bring in a financing partner to reduce risk. Universal hedged its bet by teaming with DreamWorks Studios and Relativity Media.

Re: The Help Works over Labor Day Weekend: Weekend Box Office Thread 9/2 - 9/5
Very, very original pieces of franchises that have existed for decades. I guess that does give them credit.
And I see the point about Green Lantern. True, he's a secondary DC character, but he's probably never been hotter in the industry, and it will fan the flame about how they can't do anything other than Batman and Superman.

Re: The Help Works over Labor Day Weekend: Weekend Box Office Thread 9/2 - 9/5
I think what allowed those films to succeed that they were sequels/reboots/whatever that weren't made based off a democracy. Fox allowed Vaughn and Wyatt to do their own things without any say from studio brass. First Class had two prior financially successful, but audience-and-critic despised sequels within the past five years and Rise of the Planet of the Apes had a similar situation just over a longer period of time. By letting creative and talented people do their own thing will allow a movie to succeed despite any preconceived notions one might've had before time. I still have friends come up to me and ask if Rise was any good and they're surprised when I tell them (genuinely) that it was a good movie.
