| I don't have the box office figures handy, but I doubt they are very high. Making money is subjective. If you can make a horror movie for $10m and you make $30m at the box office, yeah....you made money, but the movie is a flop.
And "Saw" is quickly headed down this path too. What was once innovative and interesting is now quickly becoming very repetitive and mundane. |
RZ's Halloween was the number 1 film of all time on labour day weekend. In the entire series, it was the second highest money making Halloween. It more than doubled Halloween Resurrection. So by all means, RZ's Halloween was a huge hit.
I really don't understand all this "Why are they making so many sequels!~" talk. Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't there been something like 22 James Bond films? Why is it that horror films can't do the same?
I'm actually surprised by this news since the Weinsteins has said in a few interviews that they had zero plans for a sequel anytime soon, if ever.
As for making a Halloween 2, it won't be a remake of Halloween 2. The events of RZ's Halloween makes it nearly impossible to make it a direct remake of H2. Personally, I'm excited to see what can be done with a different H2. I really feel as if Rick Rosenthal was a terrible choice for director of H2. It doesn't help matters that Carpenter had zero idea what to do when writing the script.
