I'm honestly dumbstruck by that Insidious mumber + CS. Wow

[CJohn]

Shawn will get away laughing at all of us in the Casino.

 

When did Insidious became so popular?

[CaptainJackSparrow]

So, over under/over Conjuring OW?

[CJohn]

I'm honestly dumbstruck by that Insidious mumber + CS. Wow

B+ right? That means WOM is good. The Conjuring got an A-.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Looks like I won my Insidious bet.

James Wan is the new Wes Craven.

Wan's fanbase has expanded exponentially I guess.

5,5M OD for Family? I thought that shit wouldnt make 5M in its entire opening weekend.

As I said previous page, this bodes well for Grudge Match.

James Wan said he is done with the horror genre. I am not sure if he will be done now. Studios will pay a lot of money to have him directing their horror project. Paramount should hire him for Paranormal Activity.

Horror has really kicked some major butt this year.

[Jack Nevada]

Kinda sucks that James Wan is now making F&F franchise instead of more horror. 

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Kinda sucks that James Wan is now making F&F franchise instead of more horror.

Totally agree.

[CJohn]

Horror has really kicked some major butt this year.

Texas Chainsaw 3D, Mama, Evil Dead, The Purge (it was sold as horror), The Conjuring and now Insidious 2.

 

Only The Last Exorcism Part 2 and You're Next failed to reach 10M on OW.

[The Dark Alfred]

Nope, PA should just die. Worst horror franchise by far. Incredibly popular though. Bring back Saw, please for Halloween. 

 

Purge 2 can explode next year, too.

[kayumanggi]

The first SAW is my favorite.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

20m is better. 40m ow back on track as predicted.

 

Thought 15m was disappointing.

[Jack Nevada]

We also had a completely original, good horror movie making more than almost all of the remakes released.
