Back in May, Ang Lee's nostalgic and ever-so-dull Taking Woodstock was touted as one of the potential heavy hitters before its Cannes world premiere. With the No 1 and No 3 movies under their belts, the Weinsteins won't have any complaints. There's a general theory among the distribution community that the market expands when there is greater choice, and that seems to have happened here. Those same observers also wondered aloud (and anonymously) why the Weinsteins would allow one of its movies to cannibalise another that was already in play. Some questioned the Weinsteins' wisdom in releasing Halloween II in the same weekend as another horror movie that was widely expected to win.

Said distributor will be gratified by Basterds' $73.8m running total, which puts it firmly on course for $100m, and a decent No 3 launch for Halloween II on $17.4m. Warner Bros' The Final Destination was the runaway champion as it launched on $28.3m, some way ahead of Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds in second place on $20m through The Weinstein Company. Melton and Dunstan were announced as the writers of a God of War movie for Sony, but that was back in 2012, and things could have changed since then.Horror was the winner in the US this weekend. The most recent entry, Final Destination 5, was released in 2014. Keep checking back with GameSpot for the latest.

We also don't know who will star in it or who may direct. There is no word yet on when the new Final Destination movie might come to theatres. Presumably the new movie will be similar in structure and tone, but nothing has been announced as of yet. It is a highly repeatable formula, which must have made studio executives happy. This same setup is used in the four sequels, though the circumstances are changed. Because they were supposed to die, the force of Death goes after them, killing them off one by one in horrific, gruesome fashion. They get off the plane, only to watch it go up in flames after take off. In the first Final Destination, a group of teenagers are about to get on an airplane, when one of their friends has a vision that the plane goes down and they all die. Unsurprisingly, New Line went on to make four sequels, which together have made nearly $700 million worldwide.

It was a huge hit, making $112 million globally against a budget of only $23 million. The first Final Destination premiered in 2000, starring Devon Sawa and Ali Larter. Now Playing: The 20 Biggest Movies To Watch In 2019 By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's
