This year Hollywood must have gone overboard on Halloween product.WB/Village Roadshow opens Ghost Ship today. Miramax is bringing back Halloween: Resurrection -- 3 1/2 months after it flopped.
Not only that, an indie is opening 13th Child: Legend of the Jersey Devil, Vol. 1 here in New Jersey, Delaware and eastern Pennsylvania. I never heard of this movie until I saw it on the Regal/Fandango listings earlier in the week. It's not even listed on Upcoming Movies, Film Releases or Nielsen EDI. New Jersey papers have fawning stories about this movie because it's about a Jersey urban legend. I smell a piece of 
Oh, well. The theaters playing 13th Child won't go Bowling for Columbine -- at least not this week.

The Ring is going to get a considerable bump-up this weekend, as is most other product. Jackass performed spectacularly at the box office, our 9:40 show shold out at 7:00. Only one print and we decided not to interlock. As such, The Ring sold out for the nine o'clock set. Ghost Ship did fairly well too.
