You are right the score goes too hard to ignore. Did not expect it from a tennis movie but I'm gonna be resisting the urge to shake my ass in the movie theatre. Given they've won twice I don't think the academy can leave them out unless the category is ridiculously competitive this year.

Lmao A24 love misleading the public with their trailers. They know the bad CinemaScore and negative audience reception is coming but they don't care cause it's the only way they can get people to watch their movies. I hopes this makes more than EEAAO.

That trailer was so good! It will be funny if Dune Part 2 ISN'T the best 2024 action filled sequel starring Anya Taylor Joy to a movie that won six Oscars set on a desert wasteland. I'm so excited to see this.

Not sure how trustworthy reactions from SXSW are compared to more highbrow festivals but I have to admit the audience response is pretty stellar. Could be a big hit for A24 if they get the buzz out properly.

Y’all must have watched a different trailer to me because I think this looks amazing. Even Chris Hemworth’s casting is winning me over. I’m so there opening day.

Seems kinda low for Taylor Swift.

Jack Antonoff probably has a lot to do with Taylor/Lana similarities too. And while we’re on that topic I just wanna say Cruel Summer is basically a Carly Rae Jepsen song.

This scene alone is why I included this movie in this list. It does more than any other Hollywood movie could and would address this issue for it's time and for a good amount of time after it was made. It's probably the first movie to point a finger at society and say that is the reason homophobia exists and internalised homophobia stems from that. Honestly, after watching this again I probably would have moved it up on my list.

That would be a very good opening for Paw Patrol. Parents will still take small children to the movies if they are interested in it. Three movies opening to a combined 50M+ is not that bad for September. Saw X's opening is respectable for the 10th film in a 19 year old horror franchise and The Creator is honestly doing better than I expected. A.I. flopped back in 2001 and that was a late June opening directed by Spielberg near his peak popularity and starring well known actors. Not to mention A.I. is a masterpiece.

That trailer alone made me tear up! The cinematography is gorgeous, that transition from Adam's apartment to the club was insane. Also love the visual motif of characters looking out of windows. Btw I have to say it Paul Mescal is so freaking hot oml.

Terrible opening for Blue Beetle. Not really a surprise but even worse than expected tbh.

Joyland looks really good that's going straight on my watchlist.

Honestly the CinemaScore is pretty meh for both movies. I'm surprised they made a Greek Wedding 3 but the fact that it may rival Book Club 2's box office for lowest grossing wide release made mainly for promotion of vactioning in a European country targeted at old women of the year is hilarious.

On that note though I guess Hereditary could be counted here too since Toni Colette's character seeks solace in the occult that ends up dooming her entire family.

To me you kind of hit the nail on the head on why Drag Me to Hell and Sacred Deer are my favourite type of tragedies. And yes I'll consider them tragedies because everything that happens to them is based off their own moral decision even if they have reasonable grounds with unusually cruel punishment. It kind of speaks to how modern society can demand us to make unlikable decisions that may punish another to put us ahead and question the guilt that may result from that.
