    Taking all options into consideration.

    1. I like the idea mentioned by skybrick. It could work really on either side of the franchise as a follow up to Resurrection although unlikely or a follow up to RZH2 if they pretend the ending of RZH2 did not happen which is what killed the original series for me IMO. Too many wtf endings for their own good made Myers out to be a pussy.

    2. Go with the ending of RZH2 which IMO was the only thing I really thought worked and could add something different to the series. Although breaking Halloween away from Myers did not work before and im not sure they would take a chance on it again.

    3. Even though I thought Season of the Witch was a solid entry in the series. There is always the option to try something with that even though I would not want it. It's definitely an option.

    4. Another reboot down the road by which time its arguable that nobody will care except for the fans of the original series wiping their hands clean of the RZ franchise and are ready for something else.

    The budget was $15,000,0000 + $10,000,000 for marketing= $25,000,000

    Opening $16,349,565 gross.

    cinemas get 60% of the gross for the first 2 weeks.

    40% of $16,349,565 is $6,539,826

    This left $18,460,174 to be recouped.

    The following week brought in $5,745,206. (In 63 more cinemas)

    40% of which is $2,298,082

    Leaving $16,162,092 left to recoup.

    The last weekend recorded brought in $2,315,000

    Now cinema gets 5% more this week than previous weeks.

    35% of $2,315,000 is $810,250

    $15,351,842 left to recoup.

    Doesn't look good for the Weinsteins

    I too am a little amazed that they could be on the verge of financial collapse in the face of an H2 meltdown. They have had quite a number of successes previously.

    All their previous successes lined the bank account for Disney. As the Weinstein Company they've been shelving things left and right and having bad box office results.

    Halloween 2 may be the scapegoat, but is far from the [only] cause.

    Another example of an offshoot company failing... It happens.

    Its a fine line to keep profits rolling in as an offshoot company as is with the contracts ensuring parent companies get their cut no matter what. Toss in a heavy dose of poor marketing department and bang, you're bleeding out faster than the easy chick in a slasher flick.

    I do hope the parent company is smart enough to pick up the few talented folks working in Weinstein Films before it goes completely under. There is some talent there, just not in marketing. :shakehead

    Our immortality is found in the words and actions of our children.

    You see relatives at holidays, weddings, and funerals, but family is always with you.

    Do not steal, rape, or murder. Everything else is fair game.

    Facing failure is easier than running from regret.

    I agree with getsome, though I loved grindhouse it was a cinematic flop, not to mention we still havent gotten a respectable DVD release of the "experience" so that might be holding some fans back from buying the dvds

    I loved H2 and there is ab-so-lutely no way H20 or Resurrection was better.
    Dude, not only was H20 and Resurrection better but Season of the Witch, Return of Michael Myers, Revenge of Michael Myers, and Curse of Michael Myers were all Oscar quality compared to either of the amphibian shit turds that Zombie made...

    Maybe we can close the original series off as a trilogy. H1 and 2and then H20 being the third. Let Resurrection go the way of H3, 4, 5, and 6. Now we have the Halloween Trilogy, which is fine because H20 closed it up nicely.

    H20 sucked... typical 90's slasher fare....

    Maybe you can close the series like that. As for me and I am sure of a lot of people I like to include 3-8 as a part of the original franchise. :2far:

    No more reboots, I couldn't take it. I, like most, am a huge Halloween and Carpenter fan; I didn't hate RZ's shits. You just knew what you were getting before you went to see them. You knew they'd be different. We still have the dvds to go back and see what we all love and miss. I like Zombie as a visual director, but he has to be one of the worst writers of all-time. Oh and the Weinsteins will be just fine...
