Split isn't R rated.

I'd hate to be any horror movie being released for the rest of the year, everything is going to get overshadowed by IT. "Oh that ONLY opened with $40 million?". Unless we get another $100 million opener but how likely is that? I wonder when we'll start to see the effects of ITs box office success on the genre. I hope it leads to more movies with a bit of money behind them. Also less studios forcing the creative team into a PG-13 rating (we've had 3 R rated horror flicks cross the $100 million mark this year, studios should stop toning down their talent).

I guess I'm just thinking of normal September weekdays.

IT should outgross Split by the weekend. Out gross Get Out by next Monday.

It's a shame Geostorm got pushed out of October, robbing the movie of its first $100 + opener.

Should have a decent drop this weekend as there is 0 computation until Kingsmen.

What about Get Out?

And without 3D price increases.

So Universal, how's that Dark Universe going?

Anyone who signs onto Star Wars should probably know they aren't going to have any creative control! Also, where the fuck are my numbers!

Then fires him!

I feel if Universal had released Get Out in January instead of Split we could have had 2 $200 million horror movies that year.

oh, Wrathofhan did make it too the movie after all.

You should dress up like a clown and sneak around the theatre during showings,

Yet he named himself after a movie that barely featured any minorities.

What's more impressive, IT or Get Out?

I asked last week what where the chances of Annabelle hitting $100 million and was told 0%. I wonder if people are seeing it when finding IT sold out, someone on my friends list did that.

Why do you hate John Carpenters The Thing?

I think a new Gremlins movie has potential to do very well.

Annabelle did 1.2

That almost beat Paranaromal Activity 3s opening record in 1 day.

I thought it was Woman In Black, would have to check.

So IT broke the opening weekend in September gross in 1 day. Will broke the opening weekend for a horror movie in 2 days and will probably outgross most horror movies in 3 days.

Yeah but it was hated, I'd say a sequel would drop big time. The same reason we never got The Devil Inside 2. I can only imagine The Gallows 2 is a DTV movie.

Apparently they've made a sequel to The Gallows (why?)
