Author Topic: Halloween overkill Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 10-25-2002 07:34 AM                     This year Hollywood must have gone overboard on Halloween product. WB/Village Roadshow opens Ghost Ship today. Miramax is bringing back Halloween: Resurrection -- 3 1/2 months after it flopped. Not only that, an indie is opening 13th Child: Legend of the Jersey Devil, Vol. 1 here in New Jersey, Delaware and eastern Pennsylvania. I never heard of this movie until I saw it on the Regal/Fandango listings earlier in the week. It's not even listed on Upcoming Movies, Film Releases or Nielsen EDI. New Jersey papers have fawning stories about this movie because it's about a Jersey urban legend. I smell a piece of Oh, well. The theaters playing 13th Child won't go Bowling for Columbine -- at least not this week.  |  IP: Logged Michael Gonzalez Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 790 From: Grand Island , NE USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 10-25-2002 10:34 AM                     Could be worse. There could be another Chucky movie out.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 10-25-2002 11:26 AM                    Don't forget the Ring.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-25-2002 01:09 PM                     Heard a rumor that Universal eventually has plans for "Seed Of Chucky" -- Chucky movies are great, even though they've basically changed from the "edge-of-your-seat, nail-biting, scary psychotic doll" genre to the "Wisecracking teen-gross-out movie doll that kills people and makes the speak-n-spell say bad words" genre. =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 10-25-2002 02:44 PM                        Happens every halloween. Have to get the scary product out. At least the RING actually delivered some money and a decent product. Hard to say that about most halloween crap we get.

Jackass performed spectacularly at the box office, our 9:40 show shold out at 7:00. Only one print and we decided not to interlock. As such, The Ring sold out for the nine o'clock set. Ghost Ship did fairly well too.  |  IP: Logged
