Oh absolutely. I never expected anything less than a stellar drop. Just a quick update, I'm going to be keeping tabs of the flick's box office performance as part of our coverage. You can check out that thread, it's stickied up top in Horrorshow.

While it's a pretty steep drop, keep in mind that this movie had an already inflated opening weekened by coming out on Friday the 13th and cross marketing itself as the perfect date movie for Valentine's Day on Saturday. It kept its legs because on top of all that it was also the long President's Day weekend and the box office in general was unusually busy. I'm not Jarmo-cizing things, it's an admittedly less than stellar second weekend, but keep in mind that it had an opening to drop from that was far and away from the expectations of either the franchise or the genre.

And the New Line incarnation of the franchise continues its losing streak. This time, the hotly debated, Kane Hodder-less Freddy vs. Jason sees itself to the door. What will be the next to go? Will a minority of (vocal) fans be enough to save Jason Goes to Hell for another round? Things are getting good as we get down to the "real" franchise.

All four.

Agreed, especially RoboCop 2. I'd still love to see Frank Miller's R-rated vision for RoboCop 3 brought to life.
#307 Re: The Sunset Strip » U2 - Acoustic Achtung Babies » 853 weeks ago
Favorite track right now is Magnificent. This is easily U2's best album in a decade and quite possibly one of their best overall. This is coming from a fan who considers '90s U2 the band's ultimate incarnation and Achtung Baby its defining masterpiece.
#308 Re: The Sunset Strip » Superman Unleashed » 853 weeks ago
But you like RoboCop, one of my absolute favorite movies of all time, so all is right with the world.

I appreciate that and we couldn't do it without you guys.

The first evidence of the next Superman movie actually happening and remaining a sequel to Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns has surfaced, complete with title change…
Last we heard of Superman, the Wachowskis had been offered it (turned out that rumor was false) and it was a reboot. Along the way, we found Mark Millar’s inventive idea for a Superman trilogy and thought it was going to be called Man Of Steel.
Turns out no one had it right until /Film did some poking:
…reader Alex L just sent me a link to a password protected page from the official Legendary Pictures website that lists “Superman Unleashed” as one of their upcoming films in development. The temporary plot synopsis included follows:
The verdict? DC, Legendary and Warner Bros are going to make a Superman sequel, it’s working title is Superman Unleashed (though I hope this is the real attitude of the damn thing) and it exists in the Returns universe.
-The Bad & Ugly-
This is great news. I'm a huge fan of Superman Returns. I think it's incredibly underappreciated and was genuinely insulted at the prospect of a relaunch to this franchise. Even if you didn't like Superman Returns, it's time for a new Superman flick and they may as well continue in the current continuity. Too many "reboots" these days. This should keep the fanboys happy while waiting for Christopher Nolan's next Batman opus.
