imo, tv spots were bad: looked cheap, didnt explain what it was and no money shot. nothing about it screamed "you have to see this"

What about the hand covering the kid's face? I guess that was their moneyshot. Kind of weak for one though

They put too much emphasis on Wes Craven's 20+ year old horror films and 3D in the key art, also stuck in a horror/3D glut.

All his older films have been remade recently, so teens should have heard of them, if not seen them. Scream was also mentioned in trailer

I don't think being associated with the remakes is a positive. ;)

At least the Last House remake was fairly well-received and he had nothing to do with the NOES remake itself; was producer of Last House one

These numbers seem very close to MTC... surprised Secretariat didn't get more of a weekend bump

Going by those numbers, EASYA is bra (i.e. overpriced) by about $3... cashing out tomorrow.

I'm 3 for 4... Secretariat long will cancel out my MYSOL short, LAWKI is negligible... so it's up to Funny Story to make me money.
