From Sandman's article:
Jason's [franchise] hit a new low with 2002's Jason X ($13.1 million)
At work when this came out I overheard this exchange:
Drone #1: "the "X" means there have been 10 of these movies?"
Drone #2: "Yeah, what did you think it meant? He converted to Islam?"
Denise was out of town with the baby the weekend Freddy v. Jason came out. I like to take the time to go see a movie that Denise had NO interest in seeing when she's gone, so I went ahead and saw that one. It was funny. I liked it.
It will be interesting having a certified "hero" in the next one, but it does seem to jumble the typical monster mash dynamic, where one monster or the other becomes the unlikely hero.
