אלי רות מבואס מהכשלון של "הוסטל II". מי אשם? העותקים הפיראטים שהודלפו לאינטרנט, המבקרים שכתבו ביקורת על הסרט על סמך הצפייה בעותקים הפיראטים באינטרנט, האולפנים והקהל.

What I'm saying is, this is your last chance to see one of my films for a while. If you haven't seen it, go now, because after next weekend the film will be gone from theaters. … I am not directing CELL any time soon, and I most likely will take the rest of the year to write my other projects. Which means I wouldn't shoot until the spring, and you wouldn't see a film directed by me in the cinemas until at least next fall. … But right now the R rated horror film is in serious jeopardy. Studios feel the public doesn't want them any more, and so they are only putting PG-13 films into production. The only way to counter this perception is to get out there and support R rated horror.

זאק בראף מתוסכל מהכשלון של "האקס". מי אשם? המבקרים, המפיצים, בתי הקולנוע. אבל לפחות, להבדיל מרות, הוא קצת פחות עצבני ולא מאיים בשביתה ובסנקציות:

For those of you that went to see the EX, thank you. It didn't do as well as any of us hoped, and I'm not quite sure why. Obviously the reviews weren't great and it was only on 1000 screens (that's half the number of the other new movies.) But I have to be honest, I didn't think we'd get beaten by Delta Farce! That stings. The Ex is by no means a perfect movie, but I think it's a pretty funny one if you like silly, goofy, physical comedy. I do.
