The Thing is actually a remake of a remake. John Carpenter's The Thing was a remake of 50's sci-fi movie The Thing From Beyond. The Carpenter movie was actually really good but people don't get excited about alien flicks that take place in Antarctica and would rather see Will Smith say that he's going to kick E.T.'s ass for whatever reason.

I don't see why anyone would want to see the Footloose remake unless Julianne Hough gets naked. Julianne Hough doesn't get naked, does she?

Isn't The Thing(2011) a prequel of some sort?

@ mordred Yes, I believe that it is supposed to be a prequel to the remake. :p

@ spurgeonryan Don't short change the B/W one. It was a great movie for it's time.

Paranormal Activity did a lot better than what I expected.

Another good hold for Real Steal.

Puss in boots $34 million (Should do well.)
Paranormal Activity 3 $18.5 million (mega hit again)
In time $12 million (should do well with overseas)
Footloose $5.4 million (made money over all)
The Rum Diary $5 million ( I am tired of Depp, same old screaming, yelling going on in each movie, reminds me of Shia lebouf always screaming)

Where did you get those numbers from? Nikki?

Dont know what a nikki is, but I got them from my site Ropeofsilicon.com Estimates of course. I think Real steel was at 3.5 as well.

Nikki Finke. She's a journalist/blogger,and she has acces to info from the movie studios.

Here is her article for this weekend.

The-Numbers.com is a good place to find box office numbers.

Also, they have weekly charts for Blue-Ray & DVD sales.
