In response to "I'll take the under on the 120 easily." by Will Hunting

And in looking at this, i'm just now realizing how horrendous Friday the 13th's overall performance is.

it's HSX delist multiplier will be something like 1.65. That's the worst by far I can ever recall seeing.

Of course, when you make back your entire production budget on the first Friday, horrible legs are less of an issue. -- nm - Dano Mar 8, 09:01 4
- Like The Happening, they'd still be a lot happier if they'd had a good movie to sell, though. -- nm - David Mar 8, 09:41 3
  - Of course, I'm sure they'd rather have a $100M+ grosser from that start, but they sold what they had and must have made at least 3X production budget. - Dano Mar 8, 10:07 2
    - You're doing a ventriloquist act with my MMQB comments about it, but they still left a lot of money on the table by making a bad film. -- nm - David Mar 8, 10:13
    - I'm not saying it's a failure for it's cost/revenue; just how it got there is epic bad. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 8, 10:11
what do we think the reason is?? me personally - I think word of mouth may have killed it - Epiphany Mar 8, 07:40 3
- There just wasn't a huge interest outside the core audience IMO. -- nm - Cuzin Todd Mar 8, 07:47
- Horror's already frontloaded, it's arguably the biggest horror franchise in history spanning 3 decades - Will Hunting Mar 8, 07:44
- It was the very definition of a one-day wonder. -- nm - Callisto Mar 8, 07:42
