Why do they not acknowledge that this has never happened to a film before, that Hatchet 2 was actually on track to do what most indie unmarketed films do, or that Chain Letter only pulled $300 per screen and yet still had it's full week because it was "R"? Why don't they acknowledge that Hatchet 2 was killing in certain markets (NY and LA specifically according to box office mojo) yet was pulled from those theaters as well? Come on now. The writing is on the wall here. Don't be stupid. Green lashed out very publicly against the MPAA and AMC panicked and bbl peddled out of showing the film. I don't get why even he is still taking the high road and praising them for "trying". I'm a bit disappointed in his quiet stance on this but I have to assume that he is being forced to be that way. It makes no sense to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5836287004144087773.post-37618432965139657512010-10-06T10:22:37.260-05:002010-10-06T10:22:37.260-05:00As I said in my post, there are films I've see...As I said in my post, there are films I've seen with much more gore and violence that received an R rating. Human Centipede was not released to theaters unrated. It was given an R rating. Again, in my post I've given a perfect example of a film that made crap money but was allowed to run it's screen time. I don't feel it's as simple as "follow the money" but no one knows. There's been no press release so we can't say for sure.Gore Whorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793044856903015152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5836287004144087773.post-1011359994511361082010-10-05T13:04:00.366-05:002010-10-05T13:04:00.366-05:00Aw, come on.

Other unrated horror movies ("The Human Centipede" for one) went out unrated and never got pulled after three days.<br /><br />Follow the money. The flick tanked. AMC could make more money off another show of "The Town" in those auditoriums, so they made a decision based purely on business. Toss the one that's not selling tickets and replace it with something else. <br /><br />I really do believe it's that simple.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
