There was a lot of good, fun horror that year... and then there was Exorcist: The Beginning, Godsend, and Alien Vs. Predator.

I missed a lot of the good ones in the theater that year. I regret that. I only saw....

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
The Grudge *Great fun with a crowd
Kill Bill Vol. 2
Saw
Spider-Man 2

Oh wow, what an awful year for horror. And I can't even believe I paid to see The Stepford Wives (I was tricked into it!) and The Village! For me, none of the horror films were any good AT ALL. Eternal Sunshine and Kill Bill vol. 2 saved the year. Barely.

[bigdaddyhorse]

Alien Vs. Predator
Dawn Of The Dead
Saw
Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Seed Of Chucky

The Day After Tomorrow
The Manchurian Canditate (dragged by GF and her mom)


Anatomy 2 made $623? Hope it only had one screen one time.:nervous:

Surprised to see Decoys, Evil Remains and Riding The Bullet had theater runs at all. Had all 3 pegged as straight to video. Riding The Bullet was cool, kinda wish I would've seen it but doubt it played around here at all.

Bummed I missed Shaun, that's about it.

It's odd. I remember 2004 as being a very wonderful year for horror, but half the flicks in that list blew in my opinion. Eh I guess I just kinda blocked them al out.

[It's me, Billy]

$86,058,055 -- Mean Girls With a budget of $17 million and marketing costs at $25 million, the film still made a profit of at least $44 million domestic, more if you factor in the foreign gross. I saw it three times in the theater.

Other films I saw in the theater in 2004:

The Grudge
Alien vs Predator - with a free ticket courtesy of the Predator 2-Disc CE DVD.

[fceurich39]

[KillerCannabis]

Things were starting to look up again for horror. Less teeny-bopper crap, more hardcore. Fave out of this list was Dawn Of The Dead. I was amazed it didn't completely suck ass.
