I'm glad; there were people everywhere claiming it was going to bomb hard -- some even claimed they wanted it to! -- since it had extensive re-shoots and re-writes (not to mention the major concerns with budget and the Forster/Pitt problems) but I'm glad it's come into its own and proved them all wrong.

Now, will we be having this same discussion when World War Z: Part 5 comes out in a few years time?

I think shows like WALKING DEAD really helped WWZ out this weekend. People who are fans of that show, which are a few, have to check WWZ out. These people already had a love of zombies before WWZ came out.

This is going to be good on BD. I was already a fan of B.Pitt...especially from his Interview with a Vampire Days. That was a great performance.

I hope there is a sequel...and maybe a TV show developed from this movie. I think the world can handle two zombie hit shows...WALKING DEAD & WWZ (maybe?!?!).

Not necessarily, I'm a big Walking Dead fan but I have never seen or had any interest in seeing any other zombie movie.

Just because it made money, it will get a sequel. World War Zzzzzzzz was the worst "tentpole" summer flick I've ever seen. My gal and I paid our $20, and then....


......proceeded to wait for the zombies to get scary......in any way at all. For the entire running time of this gawd-awful POS.

Yeah, I may just be about done with any theater-going, unless the film in question is pretty much undeniably something I'll enjoy more; hopefully much, much more than WWZ. Its too expensive to go otherwise.

The tentpole earned $66 million in North America, the best opening for an original live-action tentpole since Avatar

I don't get this - there have been a good few 'original' films that have opened higher than that. What about The Hunger Games? Man of Steel? Alice in Wonderland? Oz?

Unless they mean completely original - and have just forgotten this is an adaptation of a book.

That article really needs to include the word "tentpole" in a few more places.

That's exactly what I thought of, and I 100% agree with you on that! LOL!
