    Early box office numbers are in...

    and Friday the 13th is estimated to have taken in 20 million on it's way to a 50 million opening weekend, not counting the Monday holiday. While I thought the movie was just fairly decent, I'm glad that hard R rated horror is back on top (even if its at the cost of a bunch of remakes). And despite my mixed-on-the-positive-side views (hell, at least it was better than Jason Goes to Hell and Jason X), an opening like this guarantees another trip to the big screen for my boy Big J. Like any loyal fanboy of the series, I can never resist a Friday the 13th sequel.

    Sounds encouraging, I'm with you on the mixed review. Although its better to have an R-rated Jason movie than a PG13 ghost story.

    I loved the movie, and I'm very happy to see it doing so well. My theater was packed and as I was leaving the 1 after me was lined up out the door. These numbers don't suprise me.

    Oversite on my part for not mentioning it with the others...in no way did I think Manhattan was better than this one whatsoever. I thought the new one was a decent watch, but Manhattan is just abysmal...aside from the decapitation by way of fist punch.

    The terrible thing is, the best part of the new flick was before the title. Yeah it's doing well and has an R rating, but now we sacraficed the Jason we grew up with.

    I'm just a fan of a continuing story, and continuity. Its like Halloween H20. In this storyline the previous films don't matter. I'd like to see the origional series continue.

    If my math is correct and according to this.

    http://boxofficemojo.com/alltime/days/?page=open&p.htm

    Friday the 13th (2009) is the biggest opening day for a horror movie...Well....ever. Excluding The Village and Signs of course.

    I want to see what happens after Freddy Vs. Jason. Earth 2 can stay in the far future.

    Oh so you want Freddy vs Jason 2, because thats not a part of either orignal series. It's a new modern, year 2000 incarnation that you claim to be against, go figure

    Damn Steel, I'm saying Freddy Vs Jason was a continuation after Freddy's Dead, and Jason Goes to Hell. Jason can continue to terrorize campers without Freddy.
