Yet, Darkness is a crappy horror flick.

Wooo! More greatness for Lemony! :D . The movie isn't such a failure after all. The 3 (or 4) sequels should be greenlighted. They gotta do them soon or else the kids are gonna be too old. Meet The Fockers is a monster, pow!

Lovely number for The Polar Express again. I hope it can break $150 million tomorrow and $155 million after the weekend. I am glad that the movie is not a bomb that the people were predicting after its rather disappointing opening weekend. A $265+ million worldwide gross looks pretty certain at this point.

Amazing for Meet the Fockers. I see a weekend of around $37 million for it. It is almost certain to break $200 million now.

Once again, a decent number for The Phantom of the Opera, hopefully the expansion will help it in a couple of weeks.

I'm very happy for Meet the Fockers! Hopefully it can have Pirates of the Caribbean legs. This and Pirates had almost the exact same opening weekend and 5-day opening.

Darkness is dropping harder than any movies in 1999. It may not crack $4M this weekend.

In the Good Company had a really good start.

Still, Miramax only paid $4 million to acquire the distribution rights of DARKNESS, so this movie is a very profitable acquisition for Miramax.

Wouldn't surprise me considering how horrible the WoM seems to be. Check this out:

On the first page alone there are 8 threads talking about how bad the film is :lol:

The user rating though is 6.0, which is still not very good, but no where near the bottom 100 list. :) I still predict the film will drop 50% on Friday, New Year eve.

Orignally this movie was 6.2, after the PG-13 version was released, it drops to 6.0..........

I think that Miramax heavily edited DARKNESS to get PG-13 is the main version why WoM is horrible .

I see. Dropping 0.2 with only a few hundred votes(I assume) is pretty big.

Well, the rating was at 6.4/10 before the US release. It was just at 6.1 yesterday, looks like it is going down considerably after the release of the cut version.

As of now I predict $3.45 million for the weekend.

Anyway, the success of DARKNESS and THE GRUDGE prove that editing horror movies to get PG-13 can make money, no matter how bad the reviews they get.
And then, many movie [unrated version] DVD is doing very well in DVD market.


Therefore, we can expect more PG-13 horror movies and their [unrated version] DVD in the future. (eg. CURSED? :( )

Ok, confess, how much is Miramax paying you to support Darkness? :lol:

I hope they pay me a percentage of the DARKNESS ticket sales for that. :lol:

Unlucky, they don't pay me anything.
