Movie Ticket Prices in the Future



Being the movie buff that I am, I keep almost all of my ticket stubs after I go to the movies. I was looking through them and found the price ranges from $4.75 to $11.50. I still find it hard to spend money on movie tickets when gas prices are almost 4 dollars a gallon. Every year the ticket prices are going to raise just like gas prices. There has to be a movie coming out that I would spend top dollar to see otherwise I am just wasting gas money. I think its just better to wait for it to come out on DVD and Blu Ray.

What comes after a remake or reboot?



Ever since the year 2000, many films have been getting remade such as Horror films and Slasher films. Most of those films are got remade since there are no more original ideas out there anymore. There is going to be a day when every film has been remade. I'll go crazy if someone ever remakes Jurassic Park. I have a feeling that remakes are even going to be remade someday because nothing original is coming out anymore. I read recently that Spider-Man is getting rebooted in 2012. I don't think that is a good idea because I think the Spider-Man trilogy could have kept going. This is going to happen to many great films or franchises someday and its upsetting.

Scream 5 and 6?




When the Weinstein Company announced Scream 4 was going into production, they said that film was going to reboot the franchise and be the start of whole new trilogy. I got excited when I heard that because the Scream franchise is my favorite Horror trilogy. Scream 4 went into production on June 28th, 2010 and wraped on September 23rd, 2010. The film was given a release date of April 15th, 2011 which I thought was very interesting because it is 4/15/11. I looked at all those numbers and realized there was a great connection. 4th movie, 15 years after the original, 11 years after the 3rd film. After waiting so long for Scream 4 to come out, I went to the midnight showing and had alot of fun watching it. If the film made over its 40 million dollar budget, it should get a sequel but sadly the film only grossed 18 million its opening weekend making it the second lowest opeining of the franshise. The film recieved alot of mixed reviews but the only positive reviews are from fans of the original. With the ending of Scream 4, I don't really know if there can be a 5th and movie but I am always ready for a Scream!
