Last year, Paramount essentially short-cut a chunk of the blockbuster moviemaking process by simply cutting straight to a writers room group think. Most massive movies these days go through a number of rewrites as they head towards production, with the script changing hands through various scribes up through production, as a writer isalsousually on the set to perform on-the-fly rewrites.

This past weekend,Rambo: Last Bloodcarved out a $19 million opening which bests the $18 million opening haul from the previous installment in the series simply titled Rambo.
