I just found Star Trek comes out on Blu Ray on the 10th, and WWZ on the 17th ... are you kidding me Paramount.   Cutting it close.

 

... and man, WWZ opened week after MOS, but releases on Blu Ray 8 weeks earlier.

12 Years a Slave will snatch The Butler's thunder come Oscar season.

 

I don't know, I feel like Oprah is going to be lock for supporting Actress.  I think it will be a battle but "The Bulter" will get the nods. Can't wait to see "12 Years".

Speechless for "World War Z", it just really smacked a lot of competition this summer Domestically.

WTM really needs to get a sequel now. down only 3.4%. Smash hit.

No, it's a fine stand alone film. Not everything needs a sequel.

No offensive, but it’s fucking depressing that Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber’s film opened better than Michael Jackson’s farewell film.

Agreed!

Would that stop them from making one though?

But this needs one. A sequel makes sense in this case. And I want a sequel.

What would it be about? The story has been told. I'm sure they could find a better use for their money.

Story can never end. Hollywood are smarter than you think when it comes to sequels.

They just don’t tend to show it more than half of the time.

Justin Bieber is awesome, There is a reason his film did really good.

His concert film was actually a really good show.  I saw it on DVD and this was before he became an asshole.  The film showed his rise and his dedication to his fans and how benevolent he was.  He's changed now as he's just just another asshole star, but a couple of years ago, he was actually a decent guy.
