RISE OF THE APES Wins Weekend at the Box Office!

Posted in Books, Movies, Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror with tags , , , , , , , on August 6, 2011 by ghostradioworld

Rise of the Apes is on track to take $50 million in its opening weekend.  Earnings which will easily grant it the number one spot at the box office, well ahead of  The Smurfs ($18 million) and Cowboys and Aliens ($15 million).    Has a new Planet of the Apes franchise been born?  We give that question an affirmative ape howl!  The coming decade shall be full of talking, CGI apes.

RIO Claws Past SCREAM 4 at the Box Office!

Any doubt that there’s been a baby boom in the last decade?  If you had one it will be destroyed by this weekend’s box office, when some kiddy original IP (with birds?!?) beats a beloved horror franchise.  No,  not merely beat … crushes!

Rio, the aforementioned original IP, is estimated to fly away with $40 million in its brightly colored CGI beak on its opening weekend.  While Scream 4 only manages a rather anemic $19.5 million.  Granted that isn’t a terrible showing for the fourth film in a series.  Especially one that’s remained dormant for a decade.  But it’s beneath even the low end of studio estimates.  Poor Ghostface.

This could also be more evidence of audiences declining interest in the horror genre in the last year or so.  Remember the weak performance of most of horror releases last fall?  A trend only broken by Paranormal Activity 2.
