The discourse about “hiding it’s a musical” makes me think about the THG: BOSS. Although I wouldn’t go as far as calling it a musical, Rachel Ziegler’s character sang like 8 songs. A lot of non book readers didn’t know there would be singing and I did see some tiktoks that thought the singingwas cringe. But overall people still seemed to like the movie and it had good legs. This movie has a similar target audience, so i guess I just don’t get why not knowing a movie is a musical would make people mad or affect audience reaction and WOM.

wonder if mean girls will hurt legs of Anyone but You

This shit was completely sold out in my theater and the 7:00 show for tomorrow is almost sold out.

yeah the idea that just because this movie had "a pseudo romance" as a part of its plot means that they were going for the "Twilight" audience just makes no sense. The movie scape has changed completely . it's not 2012.

wait you didn't even see it? And you've been calling the film shitty? lmao 🤣 "After" demo makes no sense That movie made 12 million domestic and 6 million OW. It basically only was successful because of it's overseas gross. so the logic that they would target that audience in the US makes no sense. Romance movies are going straight to streaming because studios think there's no audience for them. Twilight ended 12 fucking years ago. That demo doesn't exist anymore.

This is really breaking out. Hope more studios put rom coms in theatres.

Please no one expected a movie with none of the original cast based on a book a lot of people didn't know existed long after the YA hype died down to make as much as the originals. They made the budget lower intentionally. I'm sure their happy with the results. Also you're insistence on comparing this to Twilight and After is ridiculous. Just say you didn't like the movie. That's fine.

The singing I think helped as well. The songs are doing well on spotify.

any official international estimates? I don't think I've seen updates in like 2 weeks lol.

Any updated international numbers??? I feel they haven't been updated in a long time 🙃

any updated international numbers??

the book is extremely long. The film was the longest in the whole series and the biggest criticism of the film is the 3rd act was rushed. Not surprising at all.

hunger games really hanging in there. Really shows WOM still matters.

I agree with them. Color Purple is a musical adaption of a movie a lot of black men accuse of being "anti-black men" I don't agree with that depiction and I personally loved both films, but I can't deny it's a pretty common belief. I know Woman King had this weird misogynist internet campaign against it at the time it was released but the film in general has much more appeal to black men in particular. So I don't get the assertion that TCP appeals more to men.

completely anecdotal but my 21 year old (black) brother and his friends loved the Woman King. Saw it in theaters nad said it was one of his favorite films of 2022.
