If those are the future of mainstream Horror cinema, it's looking bleak indeed.

Yeah these numbers are anoying really. In my oppinion the PG-13 horrors will eventually loose luster and at the same time cause the better horror movies to make less and less. People will just expect every movie to be The Grudge. I can tell the box office has somewhat gone downhill with all of these PG-13 horrors. This frusterates me because when it comes time for something potentially good like SAW2 people will be turned off and tired of horror.

Amen to that.

I wish Land and Rejects would have been higher on that list.

shift · 09-07-2005, 08:52 PM

The Amityville Horror was my fav out of this list.

Exactly my feelings.

Isn't it quite telling of America's taste when the worst movies are near the top?

rxfiend · 09-08-2005, 12:58 AM

this years numbers are much lower than previous years. For awhile, it seemed horror was making at least 50 million +, now it's a struggle to just make 30.

Myron Breck · 09-08-2005, 02:26 AM

Maybe because the movies have been sucking so fucking hard that people won't shell out $8+ to see them.

bigwes15 · 09-08-2005, 03:24 AM

I am disappointed to see so many of those being PG-13 shitfests, but anything that keeps horror alive as a viable commodity at the box office is ok with me. I do have to wonder how many people will rush back to the theatre for another dose of horror after suffering through assclown assemblages like Ring two (absolutely one of the worst sequels ever), boogeyman, and cursed. Us diehards will, but the general public? House of wax and devil's rejects should be topping that list by far.

The Devil's Rejects should've been much higher on that list. It's a movie you can watch over and over, and never get bored with. The Amityville remake, however, you can watch a couple of times or so and not worry about ever seeing it again.

Erick H. · 09-08-2005, 06:14 AM

Thats a pretty weak slate.I wonder if any upcoming releases are gonna make it look any better by years end

KillerCannabis · 09-08-2005, 07:48 PM

No surprises here. The crappiest shit always does the best. Case and point: Ring 2. Utter shit. Devil's Rejects fucking ruled and it didnt even break $20 mil.
