Between this, Slender Man (which is being 'shopped around to other distributors' by Sony), and Three Seconds (which was significantly neglected by Aviron Pictures by releasing Serenity's trailer first), August is about to receive much more breathing room for its releases...

This'll be an exciting Broadway film! I can't wait!

I saw a very exciting advertisement for this on YouTube while I was making myself a sandwich. It was simply a thirty-second compilation of relevant interviews at places like The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Good Morning America, where the news station were talking about how "Hereditary is the scariest film in years", and how "it's the next The Exorcist", and how "it cured them of their hiccups and then some". I think that type of advertisement is extremely smart; it expands the hype to the casual demographic, and it offers the film itself as an event to be experienced. That's precisely why Get Out, It, and A Quite Place managed to strike a chord in their theatrical releases -- the factor of togetherness with others. It'll probably be a factor that plays into Hereditary's gross on a smaller scale than the aforementioned films, but I'm sure we're looking at a sleeper hit here. To compare, multiple Paranormal Activity films and the Evil Dead remake all showed footage of people in the theater getting scared by the film, and that certainly didn't hurt their grosses.

This looks like it'll be a great film. I guess they'll play this trailer with The Incredibles 2 and/or Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

I'm intrigued. I love how the trailer is extremely cryptic, giving away very little. I feel like this may struggle against Halloween, but at the same time, The Lincoln Lawyer was a surprise sleeper hit seven years ago, so I'm sure Matthew McConaughey has his niche that will want to see this because he is in the starring role. I'm more than happy to wish the best for mid-budget thrillers such as this.

This looks like a very good film! I was beginning to think that the rest of Fox Searchlight's 2018 slate looked a little dire, but I definitely thought wrong! I do hope that the film isn't trying to glorify theft- I can't quite tell what the intention of the film is from the trailer- but that's a question for another time. In the meantime, I will anticipate this as a film that looks to be a great one.

This looks incredible. MGM needs to try giving this an Oscar campaign.

To me, this looks like an incredible breath of fresh air. Peter Jackson has, creatively, at least to me, earned a lifetime pass from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, so I'm really looking forward to this one. I'm sure I'll be seeing it.

Gomez Addams has a design similar to Gru from Despicable Me, and that may not be a coincidence.
Nevertheless, it's exciting that MGM is stepping forward with the distribution of an animated film so soon in their distribution resurgence. The unique look to the characters' designs is very encouraging. I wish them the best.

I'm rooting for Ryan Gosling because I think he would just barely remind me of the Gene Wilder version. That, and I'd trust him to pull it off the most.
-
That poster makes me really confident that they're going for it! I'm more excited for this than I was before!

I wish one of the December tentpoles had been ready for an August release because the latter month is looking really barren and in need of a blockbuster. Bumblebee could've potentially thrived in that month.
I think this is going to be the biggest loser of the crowded Christmas schedule. It looks like something that should've come out 5 years ago.
Alpha could be that blockbuster!

I'm not saying a nomination will happen, but reviews are pretty undeniable and I think this will be near the top of most critics' year end lists like Get Out was. If the smaller critic groups support it during awards season it'll be difficult for academy members to ignore it on their ballots. I suppose it depends on what A24's main Oscar horse will be at the end of year, too.
I feel like this year as a whole is a wierder year for A24 in terms of potential Oscar candidates. It's not that their output is bad -- Lean On Pete and First Reformed are both widely considered to be good -- but their heavy hitters don't feel like they'd be chosen over more Oscar-ish films, academy rejuvenation or not. Of course, any film that is rightfully regarded as one of the best films of the year has a better shot than others, but films like Hereditary, Eighth Grade, and Under The Silver Lake simply don't strike me as films that would normally be candidates. We'll see what happens, but this may be a year where A24 takes a bit of a knee.

This might just be Paramount's saving grace. Travis Knight absolutely knows what he's doing.

Aviron Pictures has made the puzzling decision to release a trailer for Serenity, a wide release that is two months later in the 2018 schedule than Three Seconds, before releasing a trailer for Three Seconds. I wonder if Aviron is going to push back this film similarly to how The Hustle was pushed back.

Golden State is beating the Cavaliers pretty hard now! That's really interesting! Steph Curry and Lebron James is truly the sports rivalry of the current era!

I've just had a thought. Almost everyone who saw A Quiet Place saw Hereditary's trailer in the theater, right? How much would that affect the gross? Do you think the horror audience that saw A Quiet Place would have found Hereditary interesting enough to want to see it?

@Slambros you will win copper as well but obviously since you already have a Gold account well, we'll figure something out. If you want I'll simply donate $5 to the site
You should donate it! I'd be okay with that!

Well, this streamlines the awards race a bit more. I'm sure this can pull a Chappaquiddick and pull in some respectable business in an atypical month of release for its genre.
