American Pie Reunion

Hm, I think this will underperform. Scream 4 just did spectacularly mediocre numbers and while AP was always more popular, they're very similar and appeal(ed) to the same audience. Teenagers of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s. They've all grown up and have careers or marriage or even kids now. The target audience is still ideally (for the studios) teenagers. But do teenagers care what the 25-35 year olds watched at their age? Scream 4 seems to say no. A different genre, but AP4 will be projected bigger than S4 and likely find proportionately disappointing results.

It doesn't help that AP's brand has been run into the ground far more than Scream's was with all those direct-to-DVD movies. I imagine the horny 14-15 year old set (the original base of the AP films) knows the franchise as the crap movies that Comedy Central runs. Again, this is not a reflection on the quality of returning to the well, just what I think its chances for success seem to be.
 
Scream 4 performed the way it did for a NUMBER of reasons. Chief amongst those was not that the teenage audience didn't care. 90 percent of the people I've seen on social networks talking about it were teenagers. Scream 4 underperformed from bad advertising (this is one of the chief reasons why the studio is still pleased with the 94 million its setting at right now, cause they didn't spend much advertising it), release date, and other factors.
 
The first two Screams were released around Christmas time and were hits. I'm still not sold on the nearby Easter release being why it underperformed. I just don't think the audience was there.
 
Yes, but let's look at the fact it was near Easter, with a movie about the Easter Bunny in theaters, another family movie opened against it in 3D, most of the people who watched Scream as teenagers had the choice between taking their family to one of those are seeing Scream 4 and leaving the kids at home. They chose the family films. It was just a bad release date. Simple as that.

This is a raunchy comedy, so it might fair a BIT better, but I do agree with you that I think the direct to DVD crap probably has hurt it's chances.
 
You want John Cho in your American Reunion? You got him.
Fellow American Thomas Ian Nicholas has tweeted the following:

John Cho is now more well known since the last film, so he at least should have more than three lines.

Anyone know who the other MILF guy was?
 
John Cho was the one who peed on Sean William Scott in the second movie, right?
 
"It's so warm!" hahaha, that moment was hilarious

I'm actually looking forward to the new movie. I hope to see *****break bang Stifler's mom one more time ;)
 
Thomas Ian Nicholas tweeted this photo from the set of American Reunion, saying "Remember the pact? Here we are over 10yrs later. Crazy."

Dania Ramirez is so damn hot. :up:
 
I love how John Cho is now more famous than most of the main cast thanks to "Harold and Kumar" and "Star Trek".

f*** yeah!!!!
 
Well... Tara Reid will be happy to have work.

I'm dying with anticipation to know what object Jason Biggs will get his dick stuck in this time. Or what kind of bodily substance Stifler will inadvertently eat. What an absolutely necessary sequel. :dry:
 
Is it me, or does it look like Mena Suvari's wearing a wig?
