Long Range Forecast: 'Titanic 3D,' 'American Reunion' and 'The Cold Light of Day'
Featured Stories - on February 11, 2012 by Phil Contrino
We've added Titanic 3D, American Reunion and The Cold Light of Day to our Long Rance Forecast this week. Titanic 3D is set to open on April 4, while American Reunion and The Cold Light of Day will hit theaters on April 6.
There's no stopping Titanic director James Cameron at the box office. Even though millions of people already own Titanic, you can bet that they'll show up to catch the Oscar-winning film at multiplexes. Activity levels on Titanic's official Facebook page indicate that interest is high--on most days the pages adds more likes than The Dark Knight Rises, The Twilight Saga and The Hunger Games combined.
After cashing in on a string of lousy, straight-to-DVD titles, the American Pie franchise returns to theaters. Expect this latest installment to be welcomed back with open arms by a generation that grew up relating to Jim, Oz, Finch, Kevin and Stiffler.
The Cold Light of Day looks like the kind of by-the-numbers action flick that gets overshadowed during its opening weekend and then makes a quit exit from theaters.
