Now There's a Haunting in Georgia (48 More Hauntings to Go?)
After the success of the Spring thriller The Haunting in Connecticut, there's a sequel in the works, this time taking place in Georgia. So it's, you know, The Haunting in Georgia. The Connecticut version had a surprising box office take: "Connecticut became one of the breakouts of a surprisingly muscular first quarter at the box office, earning $55 million domestically despite no stars and a modest budget."
Box Office: Fast and Furious Races to the Top
Wowza! The fourth installment of the Fast and Furious franchise debuted this weekend and earned an estimated $72.5 million, easily taking the No. 1 spot at the box office.
Monsters vs. Aliens Wins Big at the Box Office
DreamWorks Animation's Monsters vs. Aliens scored the best opening of the year over the weekend earning an estimated $58.2 million. The movie's success signals to studios that audiences don't seem to mind paying an extra few dollars for movies in 3-D.
Does "Based on True Events" Make You More Interested in a Scary Movie?
This weekend's release of The Haunting in Connecticut is supposedly based on the story of a real-life family that moved into a home only to find that it was formerly a funeral parlor and is now haunted.
When horror flicks are advertised as fictionalizing "true events," it inevitably sends me to the Internet for some answers. A lot of the time it turns out to be a pretty nebulous claim like in the case of The Strangers, which was marketed as being "inspired by a true story" but that turned out to be only semi-accurate.
What Movie Will You See in Theaters This Weekend?
It's kind of a random time of year for movies, and I'm curious to see what audiences are in the mood for. This weekend has lots to offer, including a new animated feature, a horror flick, and some holdovers from previous weekends — including an Oscar winner.
So tell me: What, if any, movie will you see this weekend?
Movie Preview: The Haunting in Connecticut
This movie doesn't open until sometime next year, but someone must have wanted to take advantage of the Halloween spirit by releasing the trailer for it now. The Haunting in Connecticut is a based-on-real-events movie in which a family moves to a spooky old home, only to be haunted by the terrible things that happened there years ago. Turns out, their new home used to be a mortuary.
