I don’t understand why studios don’t release a scary feature on Halloween weekend, or at least weekend’s where Halloween falls on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Of course, I know the attempt is to rake in the first weekend dollars beforehand and then hope the fact it is Halloween will make sure second weekend grosses are higher than they would normally be, but with the current release model everyone that’s going to see movies like Saw VI or The Stepfather have already seen them to this point. For these reasons we end up with a weekend like this one where the top movie was released on Wednesday and the following selections are either completely unknown or so bad the studio didn’t even screen them.
| Michael Jackson’s This is It |
| The House of the Devil |
| The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day |
| Skin |
| Gentlemen Broncos |
