For his next illusion, Peter Vincent will try to make people forget "Fright Night.". |
Colin Farrell as Jerry the vampire. Dr. Who's David Tennant as the vampire killer. Built-in name recognition from the 1985 original that starred Roddy McDowall and Chris Sarandon (who has a cameo in the new film). Oh, and the reviews were solid. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a 74% approval rating.
Movie audiences, though, stayed away like the theaters were haunted. In its first two weeks, the film has brought in just $14 million, which Disney was hoping to make in the opening weekend alone. The only good news? The film cost just $30 million overall.
Don't expect a sequel or, much less likely, a Peter Vincent theme ride at Disneyland.
