Bit of a squeaker at the box office last weekend with both THE LAST EXORCISM and TAKERS coming in neck-and-neck for the top spot. Unfortunately, TAKERS ended up “taking” it from EXORCISM (the Sunday and Monday numbers had EXORCISM winning, but the final Tuesday numbers bumped the Chris Brown starrer into #1) and won the weekend. Yay?
There is a silver lining though. EXORCISM was cheap to produce, really cheap. Like less than 2mil to make and probably a few mil to advertise produce. Basically, it grossing 20.3mil makes it a sure fire hit even if it does suffer the usual 50% drop-off in the second weekend.

With PIRANHA 3D hitting theaters this Friday, we here at Adamantium Bullet thought this might be a good time to revisit the PIRANHA flicks that came before. Namely, the Joe Dante 1978 original, the horrific 1981 sequel (directed by a then-unknown James Cameron) and the 1995 cable remake.
Today, we check out the much-maligned directorial debut of James Cameron, PIRANHA PART II – THE SPAWNING. Click on the pic to read more…

After a brief scare with the idea of him possibly directing a HAUNTED MANSION remake, Guillermo Del Toro has eased fan fear by confirming that his next directorial effort will the long-in-development AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS. According to Deadline, the pic is being geared up as a big tentpole release that will be filmed and released in 3D. The real shocker here (and the possible reason that Universal greenlit a big budget adaptation of a HP Lovecraft work) is that James Cameron has come on-board to produce, oversee the 3D shoot and possibly lend his name to the marketing materials.

As if it didn’t make enough money the first go round, TITANIC is being re-released to theaters. But wait, there’s more! According to the LA Times, not only is James Cameron planning on re-releasing TITANIC, it’s being converted to 3D. That’s right, the guy who’s been bitching about “2D to 3D conversions” is planning on doing the same to one of his own movies.
