Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Report post Posted January 30, 2005 I was joking when I said it'd be number 1. Are We There Yet only slips falls 8%. Not bad... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2005 Box Office Mojo has Alone listed at #14 and bringing in a mere $2.5 million. House of the Dead brought in $5.6 million for its opening. Hmm...I wonder if this is the end of Uwe's career now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo Effect 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2005 Uwe's got a bright career ahead of him in direct-to-video films if they cut him off. Honestly, Sanctimony and Heart of America are better than House of the Dead and (I presume) Alone in the Dark by far. I think it's studios giving Uwe bottom of the barrel scripts that hurts him the most, though he is at fault for a lot of his crappiness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2005 Uwe's got a bright career ahead of him in direct-to-video films if they cut him off. Well, when you've read about films like these -- http://www.schlocktoberfest.com/current_co...y_bware05A.html -- coming out this year, the film companies listed there would snap him up for his notoriety alone. With even lower production values, he either might be forced to not suck (WS' movies were better when he had less money to throw around) or his movies will end up with the Ed Wood production values that would make his movies even funnier. It's win/win to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Report post Posted January 30, 2005 If Casper Van Dien starred in this, it would've opened up at #1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GOLD 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2005 Dear God.... Uwe Boll's list of movies coming up: BloodRayne Hunter: The Reckoning Far Cry Those are three films that instantly just went to hell in a hand basket. GET THIS FREAK AWAY FROM VIDEO GAMES! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Reservoir_Kitty Report post Posted January 30, 2005 Yeah, I've seen a preview for BloodRayne, and being a fan of the video games... yeah. Uwe Boll needs to step away from the video games to movies thing and go do something else for awhile. The preview looked awful. The only bright spot of the movie? Michael Madsen, and even he can't make me go see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's win/win to me. Ohhh trust me, I know all about those films ( http://www.yourvideostoreshelf.com ) I was actually going to put together a preview of sorts for 2005, but now that he did it, I won't have to blow hours upon hours prepping it. As I said, Sanctimony and Heart of America, while nothing fantastic, are perfectly acceptable films. It's too bad Boll's a fucking nut, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2005 I don't see why you guys are surprised. Given a horror film starring Christian Slater and a horror film starring Robert DeNiro, I know which one I would pick, and I know nothing about either one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, in a recent interview, we learn the whole reason Bloodrayne was made... we have a really, really hot sex scene with Loken where she is completely naked. Well, at least Yuna will be interested.

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted January 31, 2005 Hide and Seek deserved to flop, for the sheer stupidity of releasing a new trailer that completely gives away the twist. Deniro is the killer...if the studio doesn't care about giving spoilers, then I'm not spoiler tagging Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
