Resident Evil Just Hit $100 Million!

Resident Evil has officially crossed $100 million at the domestic box office, but that’s not the only movie news John is breaking down on this episode of Movie Lovers Unite.

John goes solo to talk about the latest weekend box office numbers, Resident Evil’s continued success, reports that Spider-Man: Brand New Day could return to theaters with additional footage, Melissa Barrera discussing the circumstances under which she would consider returning to the Scream franchise, and Sylvester Stallone wanting another shot at Rocky V with a new recut.

Plus, John shares his thoughts on what these stories could mean for each franchise and asks what movie fans want to see happen next.

What do you think? Would you watch another Resident Evil movie? Would you pay to see Spider-Man: Brand New Day again for additional footage? And would you watch Stallone’s recut of Rocky V?

00:58.305 --> 01:01.567
[SPEAKER_00]: We also have Melissa Barrera is in talks about what it would

01:02.582 --> 01:05.384
[SPEAKER_00]: would take her bring her back for a screen.

01:05.404 --> 01:09.126
[SPEAKER_00]: We also have services alone once another shot at Rocky 5.

01:09.326 --> 01:13.269
[SPEAKER_00]: But first, let's see what people actually went to the data to watch this weekend.

01:13.749 --> 01:22.734
[SPEAKER_00]: So starting off with the box office, Avengers in-game on court took the number one spot this weekend with the $26 million, which $26 million.

01:22.795 --> 01:24.816
[SPEAKER_00]: Resident Evil wasn't far behind that number.

01:25.847 --> 01:28.009
[SPEAKER_00]: to with $23.3 million.

01:28.409 --> 01:30.591
[SPEAKER_00]: Hard of the beast came in third with $20 million.

01:30.631 --> 01:33.213
[SPEAKER_00]: Prime time was fourth with $19.19.2 million.

01:33.233 --> 01:35.414
[SPEAKER_00]: And forgotten island rounded out the top 5 with $12.8 million.

01:40.335 --> 01:46.677
[SPEAKER_00]: In-game winning the weekend years after the original release, only 6.8 million separated number one and number four.

01:47.457 --> 01:52.638
[SPEAKER_00]: Are there theatrical releases becoming something studios will learn or learn on more?

01:53.118 --> 01:54.198
[SPEAKER_00]: Keep this section moving.

01:54.458 --> 01:54.778
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

01:54.898 --> 01:57.539
[SPEAKER_00]: So, let's also talk about this, okay?

01:57.899 --> 02:03.641
[SPEAKER_00]: So, we have the fact that the domestic box office numbers have come in.

02:10.397 --> 02:14.244
[SPEAKER_00]: The article, um, but it actually made for resident evil.

02:15.065 --> 02:21.315
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I'm actually happy that resident evil as actually to see it into the box office.

02:21.335 --> 02:22.457
[SPEAKER_00]: I really think that.

02:23.289 --> 02:24.770
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, this movie was really good.

02:24.810 --> 02:29.894
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I already know that I gave this movie a 3.9 out of 5, but still I enjoy this movie for what it is.

02:29.954 --> 02:33.997
[SPEAKER_00]: It deserves to be high praised for what it did.

02:34.397 --> 02:38.360
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, I'm happy that it's actually going to get a sequel as well.

02:38.440 --> 02:46.246
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, of course, Avengers in-game on core, adding in the extra features into this to feed into,

02:47.247 --> 02:48.168
[SPEAKER_00]: Avengers doomsday.

02:48.208 --> 02:55.374
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that was a smart marketing tool to actually get us ready for it to see how it's going to be connected in with doomsday.

02:55.434 --> 02:57.556
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's going to be interesting to see how they do that.

02:58.504 --> 03:02.246
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, that's all I'm gonna say as far as the box office numbers go.

03:02.906 --> 03:03.926
[SPEAKER_00]: But let's go on ahead.

03:04.087 --> 03:06.908
[SPEAKER_00]: I have some more movie news that I wanna talk about as well.

03:08.108 --> 03:17.092
[SPEAKER_00]: So my question for you guys though, too, is I'm just wondering though, did you guys enjoy Resident Evil and after seeing these numbers do you want another one?

03:17.573 --> 03:21.354
[SPEAKER_00]: Because like I said, I think that this movie is really good.

03:21.434 --> 03:26.357
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that this movie deserves a praise that it got, and of course, it made the money back.

03:27.407 --> 03:46.358
[SPEAKER_00]: saying that the audience really loved this movie and Resident Evil is the only Sony movie we're talking about because apparently Spiderman might be coming back in theaters already Spiderman brand new day according to reporting from the rap Sony is planning to bring Spiderman brand new day back into theaters with additional footage

03:46.818 --> 03:59.052
[SPEAKER_00]: exactly what that footage would include hasn't been fully confirmed, so my question for you is would you personally buy another ticket to go see Spiderman brand new day, especially when we actually seen it already back in August?

03:59.812 --> 04:01.414
[SPEAKER_00]: Because here's a thing for me, okay?

04:01.494 --> 04:06.640
[SPEAKER_00]: I understand they didn't wait, dooms with, you know, with

04:07.259 --> 04:08.300
[SPEAKER_00]: Avengers in game.

04:08.320 --> 04:09.100
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really get that.

04:09.241 --> 04:27.474
[SPEAKER_00]: I totally understand where they come from because of the fact that you have additional footage Also to it's been a since 2019 since we've actually seen Avengers in game so therefore putting that actual extra stuff to lead into doomsday actually makes sense, but to do a Spider-Man brand new day

04:28.675 --> 04:35.157
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, with the extra footage, I don't understand it, but at the same time though, if they do this, I want to see night nurse.

04:35.437 --> 04:41.759
[SPEAKER_00]: I know that they cut out her scenes in that hospital scene inside, uh, by remembering new days.

04:41.779 --> 04:43.319
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's what I would like to see from it.

04:44.140 --> 04:47.300
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, that's about it as far as that goes.

04:47.360 --> 04:50.421
[SPEAKER_00]: It's only, it's only a few minutes.

04:50.761 --> 04:51.922
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that also two?

04:51.982 --> 04:53.622
[SPEAKER_00]: It's also going to be just like a few minutes.

04:53.642 --> 04:54.602
[SPEAKER_00]: So is that even enough?

04:55.043 --> 04:56.043
[SPEAKER_00]: When an extended cut,

04:56.821 --> 04:59.524
[SPEAKER_00]: make more sense as a digital and home release.

05:00.124 --> 05:04.869
[SPEAKER_00]: Does this assess our really re-releases, make this strategy more attractive to studios?

05:05.190 --> 05:05.690
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's the thing.

05:06.311 --> 05:10.835
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I wouldn't mind actually owning an extended cut.

05:11.728 --> 05:22.771
[SPEAKER_00]: to Spider-Man brand new day and it only went on the 4K, like the way they used to do where you actually have the director's cut and you also have the regular theatrical cut and you can choose which one you want to watch.

05:23.311 --> 05:28.513
[SPEAKER_00]: To be honest with you, it made sense for in-game because it's been so long since we've seen in-game like I mentioned.

05:28.933 --> 05:39.342
[SPEAKER_00]: but to actually have Spiderman brand new day after coming off of it in August, whenever it's still fresh in our minds how the original cut is, I don't think that's actually a smart marketing tool.

05:39.642 --> 05:53.393
[SPEAKER_00]: And yes, I get the fact that we're in the digital age and that everybody loves their digital media, but at the same time though, you know, you can actually make an extended cut as well for a digital movie released for Spiderman brand new day.

05:53.533 --> 05:54.834
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, also giving us a

05:55.915 --> 06:06.002
[SPEAKER_00]: full on theatrical cut as well and then you can also do that with a 4K like I mentioned so you can embrace both without having to Re-release this into the theaters again.

06:06.062 --> 06:22.493
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it made about a billion dollars for by remembering new day But I'm sorry, but I don't think I want to actually go back and watch by remembering new day with all the extra stuff in it That's just me by telling me what you want to go ahead and have your ticket for this one

06:23.248 --> 06:26.250
[SPEAKER_00]: So now we have Melissa Barara and Screen.

06:26.650 --> 06:32.413
[SPEAKER_00]: Now let's talk about Screen because Melissa Barara was recently asked whether she would ever return to the franchise.

06:32.833 --> 06:42.778
[SPEAKER_00]: She has said she still loves Screen and enjoyed making the movies while indicating that the circumstances surrounding the franchise would need to change before she would consider returning.

06:43.400 --> 06:45.822
[SPEAKER_00]: So do you want Samcopter's story continued?

06:45.862 --> 06:52.407
[SPEAKER_00]: Does the characters still have a finished business could different generations of screen characters eventually come together?

06:52.807 --> 06:54.548
[SPEAKER_00]: Where would you like the franchise to go next?

06:54.608 --> 06:55.529
[SPEAKER_00]: It's my other question.

06:55.649 --> 06:58.051
[SPEAKER_00]: But here's another thing, too, for me.

06:58.091 --> 06:59.492
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd love this screen franchise.

06:59.532 --> 07:01.153
[SPEAKER_00]: I love what they did with the other films.

07:01.353 --> 07:02.814
[SPEAKER_00]: This other one I did not like.

07:02.854 --> 07:07.198
[SPEAKER_00]: And you can definitely tell with this screen movie that they were actually trying to force

07:07.858 --> 07:32.120
[SPEAKER_00]: the old cast that we knew, the legendary cast that we knew and loved from the original screen movie and try to put them back into this movie again and have stew back and even Matthew Lillard said that he didn't really like the way that he handled it and also too you know, Nick Campbell had no didn't even want to be in this other screen movie before this whenever they said that they were going to make another screen movie, that all of a sudden

07:33.067 --> 07:38.273
[SPEAKER_00]: Jenna Artega drops out, but let's a barara gets fired, and then all of a sudden they're in scramble.

07:38.453 --> 07:42.257
[SPEAKER_00]: The studio's in it is, and it's like, okay, well, let's go and bring back the OG cast.

07:42.277 --> 07:49.505
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get nip back on board now that we got rid of Jenna in, also Melissa Barra, and let's go ahead and put this movie together.

07:50.026 --> 07:51.467
[SPEAKER_00]: And to me, I'm sorry.

07:52.188 --> 07:57.234
[SPEAKER_00]: If the way I see it is this, they should just act the whole entire thing and forget about this.

07:57.534 --> 08:01.818
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I feel like that this story has been done, it's been told.

08:01.838 --> 08:09.526
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think there's any more to the screen franchise that you can actually do with this, but there's a reason why I keep coming back because anyone could be Ghostface.

08:10.187 --> 08:10.687
[SPEAKER_00]: and stuff.

08:10.868 --> 08:13.089
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, that's how I feel about it.

08:13.109 --> 08:14.650
[SPEAKER_00]: I just feel like anyone could be ghostface.

08:15.010 --> 08:17.412
[SPEAKER_00]: There's always a new plot motivation for it.

08:17.472 --> 08:19.253
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's why I keep coming back for these.

08:19.854 --> 08:22.455
[SPEAKER_00]: But do I really need another screen movie?

08:22.555 --> 08:24.957
[SPEAKER_00]: The answer is no for me, but I want to know what you guys think.

08:24.977 --> 08:27.679
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you think you guys want another screen movie?

08:27.699 --> 08:35.084
[SPEAKER_00]: And also too, she got Melissa Barrera got fired for the statements she made about Israel and standing firm with them.

08:35.404 --> 08:36.385
[SPEAKER_00]: But at the same time, though,

08:37.492 --> 08:38.173
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like this.

08:38.334 --> 08:45.808
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like that if you follow celebrities on their own social media, they can post whatever they want.

08:46.309 --> 08:47.190
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't matter to me.

08:47.853 --> 08:48.874
[SPEAKER_00]: because you're following them.

08:48.894 --> 08:54.897
[SPEAKER_00]: They're just not going to just go ahead and post up stuff that they're doing, working on what movies and stuff.

08:54.957 --> 08:59.079
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all their own personal things that they're going through and what they stand for.

08:59.400 --> 09:01.601
[SPEAKER_00]: Just like if you followed me, you wouldn't just get movies stuff.

09:01.621 --> 09:03.242
[SPEAKER_00]: You would get a lot of other things.

09:03.262 --> 09:07.284
[SPEAKER_00]: You would get my sports information that I love my New England team.

09:07.304 --> 09:09.365
[SPEAKER_00]: She would actually get stuff personal stuff with me.

09:09.826 --> 09:11.166
[SPEAKER_00]: So you wouldn't just get movie news.

09:11.186 --> 09:12.247
[SPEAKER_00]: She wouldn't just get stuff like that.

09:12.267 --> 09:13.208
[SPEAKER_00]: You would actually get

09:14.027 --> 09:28.218
[SPEAKER_00]: things that does not the person likes, but I understand though too that I feel like celebrity shouldn't actually have to talk about certain politics and award shows.

09:28.378 --> 09:39.227
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a story for another day, but if you're following somebody on social media, they have very right to talk about certain politics, even if those politics don't line up with your politics or anything, but that's just my opinion.

09:40.402 --> 09:47.584
[SPEAKER_00]: But anyways, let's go on ahead and I want to talk about this because I love rocky.

09:47.684 --> 10:02.848
[SPEAKER_00]: I love not only that, but I also like the fact that they're even having a biopic with Stallone another Stallone, but the younger actor that's going to be playing Stallone in this movie and I love what they did with this.

10:02.908 --> 10:08.370
[SPEAKER_00]: And now Stallone is actually going to is actually wanting to do something with Rocky

10:09.883 --> 10:13.169
[SPEAKER_00]: And what he wants to do is, okay?

10:13.290 --> 10:14.813
[SPEAKER_00]: So let me talk about this.

10:15.715 --> 10:16.576
[SPEAKER_00]: Wait, if I may not see her.

10:17.280 --> 10:32.746
[SPEAKER_00]: So, my reaction to the I play Rocky Trail ended up getting around 4,000 views, so apparently we've got some Rocky fans around here, and this story is pretty interesting, so this is the lone ses he is pushing for an opportunity to go back and re-cut Rocky 5.

10:32.826 --> 10:38.688
[SPEAKER_00]: So, Lone has made no secret over the years that he isn't as satisfied with how that would be turned out.

10:39.508 --> 10:42.029
[SPEAKER_00]: Rocky 5 to me is just

10:42.593 --> 10:50.742
[SPEAKER_00]: not the same type of vibe that you got with one through four is totally different yet Tommy gunned in there you also have a bunch of other stuff in this movie.

10:51.342 --> 10:54.085
[SPEAKER_00]: It just doesn't make any sense and you also have that street fight at the end.

10:54.546 --> 11:00.031
[SPEAKER_00]: I understand that he wants to go back and perfect it and try to do something different but yet again I feel like this.

11:01.246 --> 11:13.914
[SPEAKER_00]: Once I feel like this, give us the original threshold, the electrical kite, put it on for K, put it on digital, and then also put your directors cut on there so we can switch back and forth and be able to do it that way.

11:14.594 --> 11:18.076
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, so would still own a recod act.

11:18.436 --> 11:19.556
[SPEAKER_00]: actually improve rocky five.

11:19.576 --> 11:20.377
[SPEAKER_00]: That's also another thing.

11:20.717 --> 11:23.117
[SPEAKER_00]: How much of this stuff is as you want to improve on?

11:23.157 --> 11:24.478
[SPEAKER_00]: Because here's the thing.

11:24.498 --> 11:28.459
[SPEAKER_00]: You can actually edit something and cut something together in the editing room.

11:29.259 --> 11:34.440
[SPEAKER_00]: And does it actually give it a more of a stand-out flavor than what we got with the original cut?

11:34.740 --> 11:37.461
[SPEAKER_00]: Because we even look at example for suicide squad.

11:38.179 --> 11:39.400
[SPEAKER_00]: the director's cut.

11:39.480 --> 11:43.963
[SPEAKER_00]: There was nothing really in there that enhanced the experience out that movie.

11:44.344 --> 11:53.370
[SPEAKER_00]: So with them doing this recap, does that actually improve the quality of the film, would it actually make sense with the compared to the actual cut?

11:53.410 --> 11:54.491
[SPEAKER_00]: That's also my question.

11:54.971 --> 11:57.653
[SPEAKER_00]: And what would you change about the movies?

11:57.693 --> 12:03.037
[SPEAKER_00]: Another question I would want to ask you guys, what would you change about the music movie and don't say the whole thing because I understand

12:05.069 --> 12:22.293
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, or it's pro of problems flexible through editing or some baked into the story can creator and record cuts, literally give older movies a second chance, but if you want a new cut immediately, where does Rocky five fall in your personal Rocky rankings?

12:22.333 --> 12:23.834
[SPEAKER_00]: For me, it's did last.

12:24.414 --> 12:28.475
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I would even put that way past the Creed movies and bury it.

12:29.155 --> 12:33.459
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how much that I would actually put that on my list.

12:33.539 --> 12:45.850
[SPEAKER_00]: Even though Creed is part of the rocky franchise and stuff, and then it's a spin-off movie, I would actually barriate all the way down to Creed, all the way down to probably Creed III probably.

12:46.431 --> 12:49.574
[SPEAKER_00]: But if someone gets rocky five recut, are you watching it?

12:49.854 --> 12:52.056

12:52.668 --> 12:54.909
