However, I have a feeling the PET SEMATARY remake will be a hit. *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was HUGE; as were Stand by Me, Carrie, The Shining, The Green Mile. I actually like his earlier works better, and I'm no horror/gore fan. Here's one that I did like (although the book was better..) Needful Things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBilled Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 Just now, shutoo said: ?? It was HUGE; as were Stand by Me, Carrie, The Shining, The Green Mile. I actually like his earlier works better, and I'm no horror/gore fan. Some of these films became cult classics and did better in the home video market, than they did first-run in the theaters. Though THE SHINING was definitely a hit out of the gate. IT was initially done as a 192-minute television miniseries, which I think was a wise decision. Not all King's books are suited to feature films. Some of the adaptations haven't fared as well as studios expected. THE DARK HALF flopped at the box office. DOLORES CLAIBORNE turned a profit, but still underperformed. CUJO had also underperformed, but went on to become a cult classic. Because his books never seem to go out of print, films adapted from his stories seem to have a shelf life that other adaptations don't enjoy. THE GREEN MILE was one I saw during its initial run in the theater, and I'm probably in the minority, but I didn't care for it. I did see MISERY when it hit theaters, and I rate it more highly than the others-- but that was down to the acting and Goldman's adaptation. The basic premise was kind of weak. Goldman expanded the supporting characters and made sure plenty of action occurred outside the cabin, which helped eliminate the claustrophobic aspects of the novel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
