I don't understand the decision to release it this weekend. I guess they thought that since the last Halloween was released the same weekend two years ago they would have similar results this time no matter what else is out there. I too do not understand why the Halloween season has been surrendered to the Saw franchise. It is as if the studios feel that there is only room for one horror movie in the whole month of October. This reminds me of the same kind of boneheaded release strategy that doomed The X files sequel last year. That was another film that should have had an October release.
