Friday the 13th (2009)
Those who saw it... what were your thoughts?
Reboot, or rehash?
With $42.2 million, the biggest opening gross thus far in 2009, Friday the 13th easily won the record-breaking Presidents Day weekend box office race, beating out Valentine's Day favorites Confessions of a Shopaholic and He's Just Not That Into You, as well as solid holdovers Taken and Coraline. (All totals listed here are according to early three-day estimates from Media by Numbers; rough figures for the four-day holiday weekend will be out tomorrow.)
That $42.2 mil sum is the top first-weekend figure for any movie in the nearly 30-year-old Friday the 13th series -- including the 2003 mashup Freddy vs. Jason, which premiered with $36.4 mil. (In fact, the original Friday the 13th movie, from 1980, grossed just $39.7 mil during its entire run, not adjusted for inflation.) In addition, this marks the best bow ever for a horror remake, besting The Grudge's $39.1 mil debut gross. And it arrives despite a weak B- CinemaScore review from an audience that skewed male. In other words, great as this first frame was for Friday the 13th, expect a big drop next weekend.

I was very excited to see this and actually went on Friday the 13th to see it (when else are you going to go,right?) and stood in line for a little over an hour before get to be seated and the pace was actually sold out I think they even over sold it because they had to bring in folding chairs an put them in the area reserved for wheelchairs. as for the movie itself I loved it and enjoyed ever blood soaked second. if you liked the series and are a fan of Jason and his antics you should give it a watch
