My problem with horror recently is EVERYTHING IS GHOSTS! Like the last 7 or 8 mainstream horror movies have been about ghosts in some way or another. Not that I have a problem with ghost movies it's just add a little variaty. Maybe the reason the box office is so underwhelming is because audiences are sick of ghosts.
I noticed Poltergeist is trailing Evil Dead (2013) figures. Which is odd considering Poltergeist is rated PG13 and has increased 3D ticket prices. Shouldn't it be doing much better since it's open to a broader audience? Evil Dead even cost half to make than Poltergeist did and it didn't have any known stars in it.
I don't think Poltergeist is getting good word of mouth, it's user rating keeps dropping hard on IMDB and Flixter. I think it will fall hard for the next 3 days.
Expendables 3 didn't make more on Friday than it has been during weekdays, that doesn't look to good.
Although it will probably outgross the Domestic gross.
Where is The Expendables 3 in the top 5? I thought it was PG13 to get more money. The first 2 movies managed to stay in the top 5 for at least 3 weeks so shouldn't part 3 be kicking ass and taking names?
