Mama Mia's performance isn't bad all things considered. Going to finish within 20M of the first

Which begs the question.....do they try for a trilogy out of this?

IS WB trying to revive previously dead/fading genres with Rom/Com and Horrors? Can they revive Westerns next?

[dxmatrixdt]

its fun how film in 1995-2005 all sort of surrounds the millennium.  movies have been around for a century.  soon those movies around the millennium will be the new Westerns!!!

I'm pretty sure Jason Blum deserves just as much credit (if not more) for turning the horror genre around.

Whenever a good hold of Fallout is predicted, it is attributed by The Numbers to “lack of big competition”, never to other factors pertaining to the movie itself. Who owns that site anyway?

I wouldn't be shocked if we have a fudge to get to $140m.
