Conan

Howizit? Should be seeing it on Wednesday, and I'm not entirely sure if I should be expecting 99% or 100% suckage.

I won't be seeing it, I don't like that its 3D. Going to the movies was expensive enough even on cheap Tuesday and now all movies no matter if its appropiate or not for the movie is 3D. Its too damn expensive to roll the dice on movies and my local theatre rarely ever gives a 2D option.

SuperMonkey · 08-22-2011, 04:12 AM

Really? I didn't know any theaters were doing 3D-only these days. I'll have to check mine.

This movie and Fright Night are bombs, hopefully this gives Hollywood a clue about all these remakes.

No reason this even needed to be a remake. Conan has plenty of literature to work from, and even in the original movie, Thulsa Doom is actually Kull the Conquerors nemesis, not Conan's (so they didn't even get that right).

They actually have this movie in D-box.

I cant believe they're remaking Fright Night....actually I can. Hollywood really has no clue. Instead of remaking good classic movies they should be remaking the super crappy ones to improve them....

Remake TimeCop!!!

Incorrect!

Fright Night is not a bomb.

I'll bet you five bucks, and I will stand by that, that it makes its money back.

Conan on the other hand looks like a stinker: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/cona...arbarian_2011/

8 million in the opening weekend. With another genre movie next week. Then two more the week after. Now if it does not make atleast 30 million a bunch of people will be fired. So are we talking about breaking even or making a profit?

**Jon Dahl** · 08-22-2011, 06:00 PM

At very least, one dollar over $30 million.

**Mwynn** · 08-22-2011, 06:03 PM

You sir are on.

Fright Night needs to have a solid weekend, or it will drop from the top 10. It is in 7th place so far. If it does not pull any money this week, could it actually be dropped from theaters in 3 weeks like Poetic Justice?
