I just paid ten bucks to see MP and the Holy Grail on the big screen, at my local blah multiplex. Happened all over the US, if I understood correctly. I wonder how much was made that day?
If there's a story that desperately needs to be told w/ BRII, who are we to stand in the way? But if it's just money, re-release the original, I say. People will go and pay, particularly people like me who live in a place where the same company or two owns all the theaters which play the same predictable fifteen or so movies.
Just a wild guess with nothing to back it up: more people would've paid to see a re-release of the original Vacation on the big screen than the remake. Same idea.
