This is exactly what NOT to do if you want to keep horror as a very profitable genre

Posted by: RupertPupkin on Jan 25, 11:58 in response to notfabio's post THR: Zach Gregger is going to send more nah-nah look at...

$10M+ to the writer/director alone, plus the budget of the movie, obviously--and given the vague logline, it certainly sounds like it'll be far more expensive than BARBARIAN was.  Also, for all the love that that movie got, it "only" grossed $45M worldwide. 

Congrats to Cregger, Roy Lee, and the Boulderlight guys for cashing in, but sure seems risky!
