Due to the overwhelming success of the new Friday the 13th picture, which broke the record for highest opening for a horror movie ever banking $42.2 million in only three days, it looks like we'll be getting another entry in the venerable franchise, with the sequel landing a tentative August 13, 2010 release date.I guess the fact that it broke another record, this one not so impressive, by making the largest drop in numbers for a horror movie in its second week losing 81% of its audience is, at this point, a technicality. It made bank, more than what the film cost, so why not greenlight another one?
I personally dug the reboot, seeing as how I'm a huge Friday the 13th fan. There's just something about that lovable oaf, Jason, that just makes me happy and I'm pretty excited about the sequel.
The writers of the film, Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, are returning to pen the script to the sequel, which will probably follow something along these lines:
Teenagers head to Camp Crystal Lake.
They have sex.
They drink alcohol.
They smoke pot.
They get mutilated by Jason.
Credits.
Can't wait!
