The record setting 2004 box office has been causing quite a stir in the Hollywood world this year. With the 2005 box office doing quite well, it has had a hard time living up to last year's record setting performances. So again and again we have had to hear about how Hollywood is in a slump. Well, the slump technically ended two weeks ago when the Fantastic 4 helped Hollywood have its first weekend in a long time this year that was higher than the same weekend last year. Well I'm here to say look out. Its going to be all down hill from here. And the reason? The Bad News Bears.
The remake of the Bad News Bears comes out this weekend. I dont expect this movie to blow away any box office records, however its going to do quite well. Its going to be little movies like this that will do pretty well that will push the 2005 box office season ahead of last year. There are three potentially huge blockbusters coming at the end of this year. King Kong, Lion Witch and the Wardrobe, and Harry Potter 4. These movies, added to the Mighty Revenge of the Sith will counteract the 3 top 10 all-time movies that came out in 2004. But it will be the little movies that push 2005 over the top. Bad News Bears, The Wedding Crashers, The Dukes of Hazzard.
I will be seeing The Bad News Bears tomorrow nights, and I can't wait. People tend to get annoyed at remakes. Either because they have some kind of respect for the original that makes it just "wrong" to remake. Or because they are just mad that no one writes something original anymore. I like remakes fine. There are certain movies that are good ideas to update, if they still fit today. This is one of those. Its one of my favorite movies from when I was a kid. I can't wait to see Billy Bob Thornton's version of Buttermaker.
