...that last part - Warner Bros., the studio in charge of the Final Destination horror films, is a corporate sibling of your favorite website - but there's no question that the series has been a triennial cash cow. The 2000 original (plane crash) earned $113 million worldwide; the 2003 sequel (highway crash) took in $90 million; and the third (roller-coaster ride), in 2006, took in another $113 million. And since each movie was made for a thrifty $25 million, there are big profits in the franchise. The only obligation for the screenwriters going forward is to come up with...
...ruin no surprises by saying that at the end of the film, there's promise of a sequel. Blomkamp swears that the possibility didn't occur to him until the last week of filming. "Now that I've started thinking about it, I would love to make another movie," he says. "I'd go back. But only if it's successful - only if people want it back...

It doesn't matter to me, or I to the filmmakers; my G.I. tract, in fact the communal contumely of critics, is irrelevant to box-office performance. G.I. Joe could be a Transformers-size hit, or it could be another The Golden Compass, the first episode of the His Dark Materials novels; that film cost $180 million and helped drive New Line Cinema...
...Istanbul Turkey's Coup Trial: The Sequel Fifty-six people, including two retired generals, went on trial in Turkey's second case against a clandestine group accused of plotting to overthrow the government of Prime Minister Recep Erdogan. The case highlights a growing divide between his Islamic AK party and the secular military, which has staged coups in the past. The first trial of 86 suspected members of the group, known as Ergenekon, began last October. Both cases could drag on for months or even years...
