 UPDATED: Creepy Ghostly Pics Taken In Amityville House This movies looks AWESOME with a few minor pet peeves I've seen from the trailer which is now being shown regulary on my Digital Cable Service through TIVO and Video On Demand.. That, along with EPISODE III, BATMAN BEGINS, WAR OF THE WORLDS, CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY(Which Looks Stupid) etc.. However, I thought the trailer for "The Amityville Horror" looked damn creepy in almost a Blair Wtch Style of filming tracking you through the Murders and the creepy apparitions that appeared in the trailer.. 3:15 AM will play a big part in this movie when all the shit hits the fan it would seem.. Nevertheless, this looks like it could very well be the BEST Horror remake of the year, maybe beating out the PG-13 RING II etc.. If I were you, I would read the Novel before seeing the movie..
"The Amityville Horror" Weekend Total:
50 Million for 3 days
150-170 Million Domestically..

Old thread was burried, and started over a month ago without many replies. Now is a good time for this topic, so I will let you restart it, but next time can you PLEASE at least do a 2 second search for "amityville" because there is already a topic on this.
No worries ... and I don't have a prediction yet ... really gonna need a screen count and final rating to decide. Asumming R I would put it around 15 million opening.

It's definitely gonna be rated R - the official website is even listing it as so, which normally means it's locked up: http://www.mgm.com/amityville/
My box office prediction is....
Opening Weekend: $19.0m
Total: $58.0m

It'll perform much like TCM Remake
Opening - 26mil
Final - 78.6mil
Though I honestly think im gonna be way off and it'll end up around 50mil. This is no Ring Two, it wont make 170mil. Thats crazy - but hey, you always think every movie you're looking forward to is gonna make big time $$$$$

Amityville Horror doesn't have nearly as much of that.

Actually im not so sure how true that is, Amityville Horror ended up with over 80mil according to BOMojo, so it might have more recognition then you think. Though, back then everyone thought that was all based on fact and it was really a true story also had ALOT more publicity and things of that matter. _________________"People always want to tear you down when you're on top, like Napoleon back in the Roman Empire" - Dirk Diggler

I just know that, in the horror community at least, the original TCM is much more revered than the original Amityville Horror. I would suspect the same thing from the general public. I mean, I know IMDb ratings don't mean much, but check this...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072271/ - TCM

The Ring Two could very well make more in it's opening weekend than Amityville makes in it's entire run. I mean, I think it looks great too, but you're way overestimating it.

It's a weak ass PG-13 Family Friendly Horror Fare and you know it just like The GRUDGE was.. Let me put to you in ways you will understand: I'm so confident that The Amityville Horror will blow The RING II out of the water opening weekend and make at least 50 Million, that I'll bet you on it.. Name it?? You teens HEAVILY underestimate this remake.. This movie is the REAL DEAL.._________________http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dmXF3CE04A This kills TDKR At the box office next summer..

Second of all, you made my case for me. You're right, The Ring Two is a PG13 horror film. And you know what that means? More people can see it. I'm not saying that The Amityville Horror is going to suck and bomb, because I think it'll be a great film and will do pretty damn well at the box office. But saying it's going to outgross the sequel to one of the most popular films of the decade is just delusional.

I honestly think Ring Two will suck and Amityville Horror will be better - but thats not stopping Ring Two from making more its first weekend out then Amityville does in its whole run. When was the last time a R rated horror flick did 170mil :???:

BKB is asking The Amityville Horror to be the third highest grossing horror film of all time. Does that sound remotely plausible to anyone?

If he wins you leave forever and if you win ( which is guaranteed ) he leaves. That or some sig & avatar bet. If BKB was really sure and not just bsing about him thinking it'll make 170mil he would take that bet and if you dont wanna make the bet Makeshift i'll do it, im sure BKB is to chicken anyways. _________________"People always want to tear you down when you're on top, like Napoleon back in the Roman Empire" - Dirk Diggler
