Disturbing News
Saunter and I saw Indiana Jones over the Memorial Day weekend, and I was relieved to discover it didn't suck... which is not a given in this day and age, particularly when George Lucas is involved. Afterwards Saunter happened to mention that they were making a sequel to Cloverfield, which surprised me. I mean, exactly how much did that mopvie make?
As it turns out? A lot. According to Box Office Mojo, Cloverfield cost $25 million to produce, but raked in $170 million. That will get a sequel made. As I looked down the top 20 domestic grossing films of the last year there was a worrying number of movies that were sequels, or based on some pop culture entity.
Even worse? Guess the movie: it was released in the last year cost $60 million to make, and returned $217 million domestically, over $350 million worldwide?
Alvin and the fucking Chipmunks.
Yeah, can't wait for that sequel.
