Ghost face had some cool lines too

 

"Forget watching Stab, instead you get to live it."

 

"This isn't a comedy, it's a horror film. People live, people die and you'd better start running."

 

"I'm not fucking Trevor"

 

"I'm gonna slit your eyelids in half so you don't blink when I stab you in the face."it doesn't sound to me like you're in the hospital. Sounds to me like you're in a parking garage, a dark, deserted parking garage. But if you want to be in the hospital, I'd he happy to put you there, in the morgue!"

 

 

DId anyone else love Cotton Weary? 100% cotton

 

"

 

 

"Same one Marnie's in, only her scene got cut way back. But you? You're the dumb blonde with the big tits, we'll have some fun with you before you die.""Your lemon squares taste like ass."

 

Everyone in my theater lost it there.

 

The opening was really good too.

 

My favorite line from the movie belonged to awesome Sidney-

 

"You forgot the first rule of reboots. Don't fuck with the original!"

FRIDAY 11:30 PM, 3RD UPDATE: Sony’s TriStar/FilmDistrict/Ghost House’s newcomer Evil Dead is a #1 lock today with $11.5 million assuming good late shows and as much as $27M for the weekend depending on Saturday’s drop. The ‘C+’ CinemaScore is disappointing for word of mouth. (“Maybe they just grabbed the people running out the door with their hands over their mouths,” joked a studio exec about the horror genre.) Coming in #2 today is Universal’s new conversion of Jurassic Park In 3D with $7M. But it could drop to #4 taking in $18M through Sunday. As for overall moviegoing, the weekend could be as high as $130M which would be +5% from last year.

 

Yikes @ that CS!

[kayumanggi]

I'm not surprised.

[Krissykins]

Loving the Scream 4 love. I still don't understand why it under performed domestically. I was so annoyed that weekend. It does seem to have had a lot more recognition since theatres though. But it still should have made more.Great start for Evil Dead.

It's outright nutty to imagine an Evil Dead reboot could open higher than not only a Scream reboot, but a Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot (with 3D) and perhaps even a Nightmare on Elm Street reboot. The only 80's horror franchise it wouldn't be beating is Friday the 13th. Sony's marketing team deserves a cookie.

They do deserve a cookie, a chocolate chip cookie at that. None of those hazzle nut cookies or the raspberry shit, talk about ruining something special. And rasiens, why the fuck would anyone have rasiens in a cookie, its like having sandpaper in a sandwich, coated in shit. Edited April 6, 2013 by Jessie

[kayumanggi]

That's a good hold for JOE.

[ddddeeee]

The problem with Scream 4 is that it's half a parody of generic slasher movies and half a generic slasher movie.

Good holds for many films.

[Krissykins]

The Call has been a nice well needed hit for Halle Berry. Trust her to go and get herself pregnant. Moron!

[MovieGuyKyle17]

Scream 4 is a pretty good film that I will never understand what went wrong with the box office totals that weekend

[Hatebox]

Scream 4 did worse than I thought it would, but some of the predictions on here at the time were plain silly. Nostalgia for the series simply wasn't that high.

[lab276]

A very strong weekend if those hold.

[Jessie]

Scream 4 was like American Reunion in terms of expectations and actual performance. It was sad for Reuinion because unlike Screan 4, it was arguably the best in the series and deserved to do better.

People like to use nostalgia as reasoning for certain film to be big but it never tends to be the case. Same thing happened with Toy Story 3, yeah it did well but it was on the low end to most of the predictions on this site and nostalgia was the reasoning behind all the overhyped guesstimates.

[Heretic]

Maybe it'll be the same for Star Wars. I imagine we're gonna be seeing some 600m predictions come 2015.

[Leatherface]

Will ED get a 2 multiplier or less overall? Remember how horrible TCM 3D's was?

[CJohn]

Fantastic holds for GI Joe and The Croods.

[Krissykins]

I don't see Evil Dead suffering the same multiplier fate as TC3D. It has no horror competition in the coming weeks, unlike TC3D had Mama. Reviews are a bit better too.
