There are no more ideas. We are fresh out. All they can do is crank out movies based on...old movies, comic books, or movies already made from old comic books. There is that joke about a million chimpanzees sitting in a room typing for a million years until one chimp types out "Hamlet." The truth is the million chimps have exhausted almost every corner of their minds and there is nothing left. No new ideas. Just when we really need them!
The good news is that the "Apes" film outdrew "The Help." Another civil rights story. Yawn. We all know how it turns out, it's a feel good story with equal rights for all. It's great that America solved the race problem but how many movies can you watch about it? Racism = problem solved. Boh-ring.
Damn them all to hell, all those early humans who burned up all the really good ideas. Damn them all to HELL!
Rebellious apes have held off Southern maids for a narrow win at the weekend box office.
Studio estimates Sunday pegged "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" at $27.5 million, good enough for its second-straight No. 1 finish. The 20th Century Fox release raised its 10-day domestic total to $104.9 million.
The "Planet of the Apes" prequel came in just ahead of "The Help," a drama about Mississippi maids during the civil-rights movement that debuted at No. 2 with $25.5 million. "The Help," a DreamWorks release distributed by Disney, has taken in $35.4 million domestically since opening Wednesday.
