3.  There has been a lot of debate on if a sequel should be commissioned for the Friday the 13 th remake.  We will be looking at different financial aspects of the Friday the 13 th series.  We will also look at the financials of other horror movie remakes and their sequels.  By the end of this presentation we should be able to answer this question.

4.  First we will analyze the Friday the 13 th series by individual film as well as the franchise.  We will call out each films estimated budget  What each film made at the US box office  This will account for total domestic gross  This will not include foreign gross or home video  Then we will show what the gross profit was after taking out the budget of the film

8.  It is interesting to note that all 3 of the sequels to the remakes made about 50% less at the US Box Office then the remakes made.

9.  Fans are actively talking about a sequel and it’s been almost two years since the remake was released!

10.  Friday the 13 th finished as the 18 th highest grossing film of 1980  With regard to the domestic box office gross, the film would have made $117,917,391 in adjusted 2009 dollars

11.  The film currently sits in 5 th place for all-time President’s Day Weekends with $45,033,454  It’s currently the 18 th highest opening for an R-rated film in US history  It’s the 15 th highest grossing film of 2009

12.  Adjusting for the 2010 inflation, Friday the 13 th is the highest grossing horror franchise in the United States with approximately $617.5 million.

13.  Every Friday the 13 th film released was profitable after it’s initial US theatrical run.  Of the horror remakes and sequels viewed, they have all had profitable runs.  Even considering the drop the sequels had from the remake, they were all turning a profit.  Based on the results I have been able to find, I feel it would be warranted for the film studio to commission another Friday the 13 th film!
