Buzz Reports: Halo Score(s)
Well, Halo has finally opened. And with it comes extras you must check out. Included in them is an actual score composed by Sammitch Studios… Four brand new songs inspired by the film and the blockbuster video game. To this reporter’s knowledge, this has never been done at HTG before. Will Halo be remembered for Best Soundtrack next season? Listen and see.
But can Halo succeed? Its 2.0 buzz bonus won’t hurt, but its long delay might affect the voting. The real life box office will be a battle between The Mummy: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and a still strong Dark Knight. Swing Vote shouldn’t add much to the overall box office. Is this a strong enough weekend at the box for Halo to challenge Terminator: Reboot for the opening week record? It will be tough, especially with Terminator itself still in theatres. Of course, it’s been so long since the box office was current that we never know who is on top. It’s possible that TCW Total Mayhem already beat Terminator and will be the big dog to knock off. Not likely, but possible.
The next big question is: Will anyone read it? Multi-award winner Mattricks expressed his doubts in the HTG chatroom. At 175 pages, it’s going to be a time investment to read. Will it be worth it? Only time will tell. But the best way to make sure you finish Halo before voting passes is to get to it early, because it’s been leaked to the message board.
What are you waiting for?
Hey, the BO isn’t THAT much overdue. I’m sure the guy who does it, who was recently out of town, is working on it as we speak. Either that or eating ice cream. Rocky Road. Ooh, gross!

Did somebody forget about Someone To Play With? Maybe its BO opening was bigger than both.
