WORLD WAR Z

Following a bloodthirsty bidding war that ended in a high six-figure deal, 20th Century Fox has acquired rights to Raymond Villareal’s novel A People’s History of the Vampire Uprising.

In what amounts to the least surprising news in the history of premature movie release dates, Paramount has pulled Brad Pitt’s World War Z sequel from its release schedule — along with the latest Friday the 13th reboot from producer Michael Bay.

The holiday weekend sees Universal’s animated sequel take the top spot on the podium while “Lone Ranger” continues on its path of box office futility.

Animation prequel takes the weekend again.

Animation Domination!
