Keith, even money says that those clones you speak of were shoved into the pipe the day "The Hangover" cleared $100 million.
---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : [scifinoir2] Weekend Box Office is No Surprise Date : Mon, 20 Jul 2009 03:52:29 +0000 (UTC) From : Keith Johnson <keithbjohn...@comcast.net> To : scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com A lot of predictable fare. What worries me, though, is that studios, seeing the performance of "The Hangover", will start churning out clones. That's all we need: dozens of inferiour copies, which will have all the intelligence of those sex-crazed movies of the '80s like "Porky's", "Hot Dog: The Movie", etc., etc. ********************************************************************** http://movies.yahoo.com/mv/boxoffice/ Weekend Box Office Estimates (U.S.) Jul 17 - 19 weekend Archived Charts: This Wk Last Wk Title Dist.
