Angels & Demons Open With Disappointing Numbers.....

Ron Howard's and Tom Hanks' adaptation "Angels & Demons" which acts as a sequel to their 2006 hit, "The Da Vinci Code" took in about $48 million, which is a little softer than its predecessor. A reason for this could be because the novel itself was less popular than "The Da Vinci Code", and also because there was less controversy this time around.

But don't count the film out yet, "Demons" was able to take in $104 million internationally. And word-of-mouth has been generally positive due to its tight storyline and action sequences, which could help the film reach $150 million domestically. After all, "Da Vinci Code" grossed $514 million internationally, and only $217 million domestically. So, "Demons" could still easily be a big summer hit for Sony.

I actually just saw the film last night and thought it was good, but I liked "Da Vinci Code" better. But, I did like how this time around, the storyline was a lot tighter, and there really were no boring parts, unlike "The Da Vinci Code." I do believe that this film will still be huge, and that Sony will probably make good cash from it. After all, it's Ron Howard, Tom Hanks, and Brian Grazer, these are huge money-making names in Hollywood.
