And reviews don't mean anything if people still shell out their cash to see all these flaming dog piles of ****.

Bingo.

Even with the current 14% on RT, it still made over 30 million dollars this weekend.

Hopefully, all remeakes will get HORRIBLE reviews, so they'll finally stop remaking every damn thing (like they've been doing the past 4-5 years). I'm waiting for the end of the remake era just like I'm waiting for the end of the reality show era.

The Crazies was a slight remake and it's pretty great.


Generally I agree that horror remakes are pretty terrible, though.

Casino Royale was a remake?

Not that they followed the same storyline or anything, but this James Bond movie has been made before:

Technically they're rebooting the franchise altogether anyway (maybe with a trifecta in terms of Daniel Craig's rendition of Bond), so I don't really know what it has to do with the original. But it's a remake nonetheless.

Horror movies will always make a ton of money. Christ even those awful Rob Zombie Halloween's made a lot of money.

James Bond 23 has been put on hold.

Still, I wouldn't consider Casino Royale a remake of a Peter Seller's spy spoof film simply because it has the same title and characters. It is another screen adaptation, yes, but remake I would disagree.

Yeah I saw the first one at the theater.

Pretty damn terrible.

Yes, unfortunately so. Even One Missed Call made over $25 million.
