They won't. Friday the 13th won't get made till the lawsuit is resolved. With the writer winning the first phase, I don't think the studio and the current rights holders will go ahead with a movie till everything is resolved fully. Also I think rights are back with New Line now.

Halloween may top 10% today.

 

Needless to say, explosion incoming

Yeah, I remembered last minute that New Line has the rights to FT13th now, and the whole lawsuit thing.

 

Well, if not that, I figure they'll work on some other horror reboot/remake/whatever. Final Destination would seem like the next best bet. Or another Stephen King novel. Wouldn't be shocked if they brought A Nightmare On Elm Street or even The Texas Chainsaw Massacre back either.

What do you have against another Stephen King novel?

Nothing. The comment was more directed at all the Final Destinations,, Friday the 13ths and Screams of this world. I really dont need another horror reboot wave like in the late 2000s.

Well, good news: next projects of the New Line are "The Curse of La  Llorona" and third Annabelle movie. In 2019 we're absolutely free of reboots.

I mean, you know how the Hollywood biz works. Not the best choices from a creative standpoint, but what can you do if you know they're gonna bring them a fuckton of money. And technically we're having La Llorona this April (I know it's not new per say, but it's not a franchise either)

Average U.S. movie ticket prices fell slightly during the third quarter to $8.83 — down a dime from the same quarter a year ago and 55 cents below their all-time high of $9.38 during the second quarter.

 

The success of family-oriented films such as “Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation,” “Christopher Robin,” “Smallfoot,” and “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” drove the price decline due to the increased numbers of children’s and matinee tickets for family films, NATO spokesman Patrick Corcoran said.

 

https://deadline.com/2018/10/hollywood-box-office-summer-movies-9-percent-ahead-of-2017-1202483333/

 

NATO pointed to some encouraging trends, noting that the third quarter was the second consecutive period when the share of box office accounted for by 18-to-24-year-olds increased year over year. That demo kicked in 26.4% of total grosses in the quarter, compared with a shade less than 26% in the year-earlier period.

 

Moviegoers younger than 10 years old and older than 55 also posted significant gains in the quarter. Under-10s, undoubtedly drawn to more family titles in the marketplace, accounted for 5.18% of the box office, up from a shade under 4% a year ago, while the 55-plus demo rose to 6.71% market share from 5.79%.
