I'm guessing it will easily take the top spot from G.I. Joe.G.I. Joe was beaten by the Croods on Monday, which tells me that it's Box Office will be very front loaded. The only two wide release movies coming out next week are Evil Dead and Jurassic Park 3D. the 3D re-releases have been getting less and less popular, as 3D tickets do the same and remakes of classic Horror flicks almost always do well (even in the face of horrible reviews) so there is no doubt in my mind that it will take number one over the weekend.

Now that this film is going to be upon us in just a few short days - anyone venture a guess as how it will fare at the box office? Will it be able to top Mama (currently sitting at $71.58 million) as the top horror film of 2013? I have serious doubts - but at least it looks like relative newcomer Fede Alvarez has some originality left (despite the fact this is a remake). I'm still not sold enough to rush out to see it in theaters, but intrigued enough I will stream it when it comes out.

Another remake. How refreshing, as Wayne would say "NOT!" First Oldboy now this. Isn't there any creative juices left or quality directors to produce original films? If it's just disgusting and gory, this will never work since the original really had a good plot and overall premise.

The only thing this new red band trailer tells us is that the movie will be very disgusting and gory. I'm still not convinced that it will be a good film. The fact is, it's a remake and that's the reason why I still hold my skepticism. If it gets positive reviews, I may check it out. Not excited to see it at the moment.

The red band trailer makes me a feel a lot better about the prospects of this film. I called blasphemy on this remake as well but maybe, just maybe, this one has potential to - not top the original - but at least be a worthy tribute.

Being a huge Raimi fan and a big Evil Dead fan, when I first read about this remake I cringed. However, when I saw the comic-con footage, I was floored. This thing looks bloody fucking amazing.
