Box Office Guru Preview: Friday the 13th Brings Chaos to Multiplexes
by Gitesh Pandya | February 12, 2009
Blog Article | Discuss Article
Summary

Jason lives and is terrorizing young punks again in the new Friday the 13th which opens on the most perfect day. The horror remake should easily lead the North American box office over the Presidents' Day holiday frame and will be joined by two other new offerings for those with not as much bloodlust. Buena Vista releases the comedy Confessions of a Shopaholic while Sony counters with the crime thriller The International. Back to Article

I'll see Friday the 13th tomorrow night, it will probably be bad but I am sure I will be with a great audience. I will also see The International since I like Tom Twyker and Clive Owen.

I liked Coroline. The 3D in Digital made it look incredible.

"Shopahalic" looks AWFUL! As for "Friday", it might be so bad it's good, like "Freddy vs Jason", or it might be awful.

Of course Mizzle is going to read a book, but make sure it has no entertainment in it. I will take my girl to go see friday and have FUN, something you have no understanding of.

Definitely watching friday the 13th today! Not sure if its going to be any good as reviews are mostly negative. However what better to do on Friday the 13th than to watch the movie which is titled the same.
