For starters, there's an actual delay between him taking a machete to the chest and his body being dumped in the lake - plenty of time for him to die from his wounds. But there are two reasons we think Jason is officially undead here. To be fair, slasher villains have a gift for coming back from seemingly fatal blows. The series' original slasher may have been killed, but Jason will be back. If he did die, then his decomposing body in the lake makes perfect sense, and it also hints at the supernatural elements that will come later in the series.
It's a great, shiver-inducing final scene, and it's one that plays into the franchise's sometimes-muddled mythology, which vacillates on whether Jason actually drowned as a child or only seemed to drown. If there was no boy, she says, then "he's still there." But Alice herself isn't very comforted when she hears that they found her alone on the lake.
The movie then reassures the viewer that it was a dream sequence - just one final way to cram in a jump scare - and Alice is actually safe in a hospital bed. Everything is safe - until the moldering corpse of a young, drowned Jason rises up from the water and drags her down with him. Alice is draped over the side of the canoe, her fingers trailing in the water, finally resting after all the horror she's been through. Figures will therefore fluctuate each week, and totals for individual titles can go up or down as we update our estimates.īecause sales figures are estimated based on sampling, they will be more accurate for higher-selling titles.As the film moves slowly into daytime, Crystal Lake actually looks idyllic for once. In particular, we adjust weekly sales figures for the quarter once the total market estimates are published by the Digital Entertainment Group.
We refine our estimates from week to week as more data becomes available. The consumer spending estimate is based on the average sales price for the title in the retailers we survey. The market share is converted into a weekly sales estimate based on industry reports on the overall size of the market, including reports published in Media Play News.įor example, if our weekly retail survey estimates that a particular title sold 1% of all units that week, and the industry reports sales of 1,500,000 units in total, we will estimate 15,000 units were sold of that title. Our DVD and Blu-ray sales estimates are based on weekly retail surveys, which we use to build a weekly market share estimate for each title we are tracking.
