Maybe a 7-9 Million opening.

This looks effective, if an unnecessary remake. That said, it's opening over a crowded frame and may get lost in the shuffle.

Cold Creek Manor (8/21 mil.) numbers seem likely. Maybe a bit higher.

The trailer is good and the cast is solid, but if it's anything like the original than the mainstream won't dig it at all. I see Vacancy numbers at best.

:My Prediction:
$7M OW / $20M DOM

Hopefully nothing.

Beyond the whole "It's a remake! I'M SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW!" reaction, it seems quite good. Rod Lurie is a talented filmmaker.

I have nothing against remakes if they bring something new to the table. This looks to be adding absolutely nothing.

Finally we are past those generic summer releases. I am so looking forward to the September releases.

Prediction: 6/13

It's apparently really fucking awful.

Damn you and your always-negative hearsay. :P

It's not always hearsay. I said positive things about Scream 4 a month before release. :yes:

The tracking for this is much better than I expected. I'll admit the TV spots are really good. I certainly want to see it. Still can't see it doing as well as tracking suggests.

It looks like the movie won't crack $6 million for the weekend.

I am seeing it Monday. Hope my $5 ticket will help its box office a bit. :P

6 million for the weekend huh?? I'd say right there that this is a lesson that some movies shouldn't be remade and this is one of them apparently.. :-k
