Movie Of The Week

This week's box office was quite a fight. Two horror films collided to take the top spot. One of them triumphed while the other failed to impress. The Final Destination took the top spot raking it $28,335,000, the highest debut for the 4 part franchise. 70% of this movie's debut success were due to the 3D screenings at 1,678 sites in the country.




The previous top spot holder, Inglourious Basterds, directed by Quentin Tarantino dropped one spot to #2 at $20,041,000.





Rob Zombie's sequel Halloween II debuted at a disappointing #3 with $17,405,000, lower than its prequel which debuted at #1 last October. [Box Office Source: BoxOfficeMojo.com]



Just shows that when two horror slashers come face to face in the box office... well... Death always wins. And what happened to all the Michael Myers supporters? For those who watched this movie, were you disappointed? What did Halloween II learn from this feat? Well, there's already announcements piling up that Halloween III will be in 3D next year and will not be directed by Rob Zombie. [Source: EW.com]

[My opinion: H2 should have debuted at #1 and not The Final Destination. TFD was an OK movie, but it will never be as good as Final Destination 2... The fourth installment was just too slow and too obvious... H2 was more of a suspense horror film of one of the most beloved slashers ever. ;3]
