Checking out the box office estimates for this weekend, Aug. 19-21 you can see that the 80's remakes Conan the Barbarian and Fright Night have terribly underperformed.
The Estimates, Aug. 19-21
1. The Help - $20.5 million
2. Rise of the Planet of the Apes - $16.3 million
3. Spy Kids: All the Time in the World - $12 million
4. Conan the Barbarian - $10 million
5. Fright Night - $8.3 million
- One Day - $5.5 million
UPDATE
Final Studio Figures, Aug. 19-21
1. The Help - $20 million
2. Rise of the Planet of the Apes - $16.1 million
3. Spy Kids: All the Time in the World - $11.6 million
4. Conan the Barbarian - $10 million
5. Fright Night - $7.7 million
- One Day - $5.1 million
If Conan keeps under performing, it looks like that script for the sequel Jason Momoa wrote will be collecting dust for quite some time. Conan the Barbarian has an estimated budget of $90 million while Fright Night is strategically positioned a lot better with a budget of only $30 million.
Check back Monday, when the numbers are finalized.
