could hotel Transylvania 2 stay flat for a few weekends as Halloween gets closer

[Mojoguy]

But non franchise, sequel, spin-off, reboot, prequel...

Just say nonsequel next time so no one will jump on you. People are so picky with the word "original" nowadays.

In the end, Gravity's IMAX fueled Saturday increase and Sunday hold were just too much for The Martian to overcome even with a 1.1M headstart.

I'm so glad for Ridley's comeback!

Where are the persons that said that he never would make a blockbuster again after Exodus?

Well to their defense that was a smart guess given he was batting like a 0 out of 10 average for his last decade+ of films up to then.

Well, that's a lesson to learn: We never should say that a person is dead, even after some flops, just in the last month we had MNS and Ridley....

Yes, but Ridley had one of the worst and longest big budget flop track records I can think of, from Black Hawk Down in '01 through Exodus. Tons of big budget movies that were either big losers or just broke even. In fact, the Martian is only his third true big budget success ever.
