THR is reporting the Jack Black -fronted comedy horror did well enough that Sony is now trying to line up a sequel. Director Rob Letterman and writer Darren Lemke are in the middle of hashing out deals to come back for more monster madness, and the studio suits are hoping to snag Black's services once again. He'd be back playing a version of author R.L. Stine, on whose books the movie was based. After nearly two decades spent lingering in development hell, the filmmakers cracked the idea of adapting several of Stine's books for an adventure that sees some of his famous creations let loose from their literary prisons. We'd expect more of the same in any sequel. There's no indication yet whether the other cast (which included Amy Ryan, Dylan Minnette and Odeya Rush ) might come back, but the studio is likely just focused on winning Black back. Everyone involved will be hoping it makes it to the screen a little more quickly this time... Please Leave A Comment-

Letterman will be working from a script by Wrath of the Titans scribe David Leslie Jones.

Did the 24th James Bond film perform to expectations? Story by Matt Cummings For the first time in over a month, the North American box office enjoyed a strong showing, as audiences flocked to see two new releases. Coming in at No. 1 was the James Bond film SPECTRE with $70.4m. While the the 24th entry in the series took the top spot, SPECTRE only matched the low end of expectations, opening around 20% below the $88.36m debut of 2012's Skyfall . It was also just 4% higher than the $67.53m of 2008's Quantum of Solace . Although Skyfall became the highest-grossing Bond film ever, its impressive numbers failed to help the newest (and perhaps last Daniel Craig adventure) to break-out. Part of that lay in the mixed critic's reviews in North America (enjoying only a 60% combined rating on Metacritic). It certainly appears that played a part in its tailing off as Sunday arrived. Still, SPECTRE enjoys a solid 'A-' rating on CinemaScore and should take t
