I have a strong feeling Final Destination 5 will do the same. Maybe not get as high as 80%, but high for the franchise.  


RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: MWG -- Are you even familiar with the kind of RT Ratings the FINAL DESTINATION series has gotten? Here's an RT LINK to check 'em out. The "high" for the series was 47% positive (which is still within RAZZ-able range) and the low was 29%, for the most recent entry. So even if your prediction of a "series high" rating for FINAL DESTINATIOON 5 proves true, it could still be well below 50%, and will almost certainly fall into the "Rotten" range by RT's metering system...

No, you're DESPERATELY HOPING that it will do the same, but history will prove you wrong, because there has never ever been a good fifth installment to any horror movie franchise, because by that far down the line, they are running on less than fumes.

According to BOMojo, The Change-Up came in fourth with a little below $5 mil. This made a little below $20 mil.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes is better than Tim Burton's remake, but not as good as the 1968 original, which was to be expected. Nonetheless, it's entertaining enough, while not amazing. I gave it 7/10...

The only thing that really bothered me about this movie was Caesar talking. The whole theater started laughing when he did that. Also, I thought it was dumb that Tom Felton said the "Take your stinking hands off me..." line. Oh spoiler? Oops.

It was still a good movie, though. Really liked that it had a lot of heart in it.
Seltzerberg is back?

I saw this today, and I thought it was very good...definitely not one of ours. The CGI effects, which Head Razz criticized somewhat in the opening, were actually quite outstanding. They started off a bit shaky when Caesar was a baby chimp, but later representations were extremely good. I would go so far as to say that this is actually one of the best films in the sci fi genre that I have seen in several years.

Damn, maybe H-Wood is finally getting a clue, and if they are going to do remakes and reboots, they are actually bothering to put people with talent in charge of the projects!

It was a pleasant surprise to be sure...I went in waiting and expecting to dislike it...I came out entertained. There are some stumbles and plot holes, but for anyone who is a fan of sci fi movies, I don't think you'll find a movie this summer that will leave you more satisfied.

If a modern sci-fi movie can get the saturnwatcher seal of approval, it MUST be good!

Time Magazine even listed the social commentary subtext to each movie.

Original Planet of the Apes: Race relations.
Beneath ... Planet of the Apes: Antiwar/anti-nuclear weapons.
Escape ... Planet of the Apes: Women's rights.
Conquest ... Planet of the Apes: Equal rights.
Battle: Culture clash.
Tim Burton's POTA: Nothing, it was just a bad movie.
Rise ... Planet of the Apes: Animal Rights.

What will be the next installment's theme ... we'll know in 2-5 years' time!
The Four Horsemen of the Moviepocalypse: uncalled for sequels/remakes/reboots, 3-D surcharges, untalented "celebrities", and anything with Michael Bay's name attached to it.

I think Time Magazine kind of missed it on Rise...there was a subtext of animal rights, but I think the more important issue that was raised was really the question of how, where and when we release scientific advancements.

True; the throwback to the old atomic age sci-fi movies and their whole "beware of science" messages.

Even as someone speaking in the scientific community, I think there is a very legitimate question to be raised about scientific advancements not only for the simple reason that we can do them, but when the ugly spectre of profit without adequate research rears its head. A similar question was raised in Jurassic Park when Malcom noted (and I paraphrase a bit) "You did this because you can do it, but no one ever stopped and asked if you should."
