I didn’t realise this wasn’t coming to cinemas in the UK.
Not something I would bother to go and see though, but I must say the good reviews are surprise given the trailer.
Have they? That’s good to hear. They haven’t even had a red carpet premiere for it yet.
Wish they were promoting it here. All I’ve had are some sponsored instagram stories.
Budget: $28m (Variety)
Nothing has ever been pointing towards a $20m opening though. Especially when trackers here point towards $1m previews. It’s been tracking low double digits for weeks.
Ungentlemanly Warfare budget $60m
Luis is early but usually the tweets are full of nonsense. I can see why he doesn’t run a website lol
Its the 17th biggest 4th Monday for a film featuring someone with Blonde hair on the 8th week of the 7th year.
The takeaway from Civil War should just be: war is awful.
It’s an anti-war film. It makes you feel bad and shows you terrible things happening to people.
Slashers have had a bit of a comeback in the 2020’s decade:
M3GAN (technically she’s a slasher like Chucky), Scream 5, Scream 6, Thanksgiving, X, Halloween Kills, Ends, Freaky, Terrifier 2. Then streaming films like Totally Killer, Fear Street 1-3 and Sick.
This year we have In A Violent Nature, The Strangers Chapter 1 and Terrifier 3.
(Totally Killer & Sick are excellent if you haven’t seen them).
Having only one horror film reach $30m by mid April is a pretty crap year compared to what horror can usually do. Even Blumhouse usually do better with their films released in the first quarter of the year.
Yeh it’s been a crap year box office wise. Also notably there have been no sequels outside of The First Omen. Which is good for horror fans, but not so much if people aren’t showing up.
It’s such an interesting year too. But I wonder if Smile 2 and a Quiet Place Day One will be the only big grossers.
Immaculate and Late Night with the Devil did break records for their distributors though. So not all is lost.
-55% for The First Omen is ok, but it’s going to lose a huge bunch of locations next weekend no doubt. $18-19m finish. Urgh. The film is great too, a shame.
