I really hope this doesn't suffer the same fate as Patrick Lussier's last 3D movie.

Like Ellis, Lussier directed a 3D horror film that made more than expected (My Bloody Valentine 3D) so he followed it up with a more action-oriented follow-up (Drive Angry) that unceremoniously flopped. Ellis last directed The Final Destination. I hope this is not only a better film than that (TFD was bad, really bad) but that it doesn't flop like the Nic Cage film did.

Thank you. {nm} second gary Aug 14, 16:47

Ask and ye shall receive. It goes without saying but I must say it anyway: Thanks. Sharky 4ever! {nm} HarryWarden Aug 14, 16:47

That's great for lobogotti's Sharky but skepticism tampers excitement. {nm} HarryWarden Aug 14, 16:48

SHK3D low 20's? Is this another SNAKP...in fact, isn't it the same director? {nm} Paul2k Aug 14, 16:57

It is but this doesn't have the pre-release hype that would artificially inflate early numbers. Sara Paxton was great in LHOTL. {nm} HarryWarden Aug 14, 17:03

If 1DAY does low double digits I will be amazed. {nm} dsbman Aug 14, 16:55

Yeah, seems crazy high for a movie that really should be opening limited/platform. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 14, 16:56

Well, no it shouldn't, because the reviews will effectively kill WOM as soon as they're out (they won't be kind). Hathaway and the dsbman Aug 14, 17:13

Have you seen it yet? Maybe you have a different take. Critics at my screening were laughing at it... {nm} dsbman Aug 14, 17:15

Wow. That bad, huh? {nm} HarryWarden Aug 14, 17:15

Whoa I read the op wrong, Read it as single for one day whoops {nm} islander Aug 14, 17:01

Sounds about right, except spy 4 vexes me. It's either doing 8 or 22. I'll really have to do some hardcore research. {nm} islander Aug 14, 16:58

Sharky 3D has a similar release date as Piranha 3D. Would the PG-13 rating really double its audience from that similar-looking film? {nm} HarryWarden Aug 14, 17:09

Also, who's the idiot at Relativity that decided saying "From the director of The Final Destination" is a selling point? People hated it. HarryWarden Aug 14, 19:14
