Seeing they remade "Don't be afraid of the dark", after I discovered the original on youtube over a year ago got me thinking. Some of these failed boxoffice films would have faired better as a "Movie of the Week" instead. The change of pace on a weekly basis would be rather exciting don't you think?

Perhaps you're onto something, Runuova. I get to the movie threatre less than once a year, and I don't have cable or satellite TV, and don't watch movies on my PC, so I don't see movies very often at all. We can't be the only two people out there who would watch movies on network TV, Runuova!
I'm curious as to whether any other C-D'ers would welcome a Movie of the Week on network TV.
I just think the movie of the week concept does not fit in well for television these days.
A large percentage of the population just wouldnt sit through two hours-----the focus and concentration levels are not what it used to be.
Reality shows last a half hour to an hour and dont require full focus to follow a movie plot unfolding.
With cell phones, i pods, texting, and tweeting, the target audiences the networks are looking for would not be there for a movie of the week-----unless it was a constant barrage of transformers, fast and furious, and the like.
I recently heard that jennifer Aniston has over 10 movies that have grossed over 100million dollars. If this is true, I can assure you she had no real effect on the eventual outcome to start. I think she is the type of actress that would see greater success on the small screen. Ashton Kutcher is another strictly tv actor! There's that limbo between out growing a televison seris and becoming a big movie star, and I think a "Movie of the Week" could be that place.
This old fuddy duddy would love to see the "movie of the week" come back! I have no problem sitting for 2 hours watching a movie and have no iPod, tweets or texting that need to be done. Fond memories of having a movie every week to break up the monoteny.
ABC just showed all the Harry Potter movies up to the last one last month. I watched every Saturday night. It was a good change of pace and I finally got to see what all the hoopla was all about. Now I can't wait to see the Deathly Hallows II now.

I watched them all too on ABC.
