They aren't opening cinemas yet

Ive been expecting a lower opening for AQP 2 compared to the first one for some time. First one was marketed as an event and had the "very few lines of dialogue" novelty to it that this movie doesn't. Hopefully it does better than this as marketing ramps up. Going to stick with 35 mil OW (I think the IT movies had a similar drop in OW) which should be fine for this movie.

Pretty good to see a huge success for Elizabeth Moss (probably my favourite actress working right now) and Leigh Whannell. Happy to see that, finally, a movie from this year that I loved is overperforming.

Since everyone here is praising Silence (which is a masterpiece), I just wanted to say that Kingdom of Heaven Director's Cut is pretty awesome too.

The hospital stuff in this was amazing and I think Upgrade is pretty good too (not as good as this movie). Upgrade has some amazing action and the body horror stuff is a nice touch. Also, I doubt this movie is just 7 mil budget. It's probably more. There's quite a bit in here that can't be done with a 7 mil budget.

I thought it was better than Us (which I really liked too). Definitely more action oriented than just horror like Us though.

You are legit just repeating the same thing over and over again. Like, calm down. But yeah, I'm trying to bring the movie that I saw and loved down.

If anything, the biggest problem with KOTM was that it didn't have enough fun with itself. All the human shit was so serious.

No, I wouldn't say its as crowd pleasing as those movies but I did see people reacting well to the movie. My sis and dad didn't like it though. When I told my sister its an horror film, she thought it would have some sort of supernatual element, which it didn't so she was bored. And my dad thought it was a shitty version of Hollow Man.

Man, this thread would be so much better if two users on here, who clearly haven't even seen the movie, stop acting like this movie is the next Get Out or something. Like I get, the movie is pretty good but damn, you guys gotta stop spamming.

I gotta agree with @DAJK here. I really liked it but I found the ending somewhat underwhelming, especially with all the buzz surrounding it. It's not a bad ending and is a completely logical one but I expected something a bit more. Leigh Whannell's directing here is phenomenal and there's some horrifying and brutal stuff in here (even if the movie is light on gore). One scene especially left my jaw open and the hospital sequence also had some brilliant action. Yeah, it's no Midsommar but I'd say this movie is about as good as Doctor Sleep and Hereditary. Definitely a crowd pleasing movie too. But I guess if you really care about plotholes you'll hate it. I rarely care about plotholes so this was still a great film for me. 8/10

I'm using Posttrak score here. I'm still think B+ cinemascore.

Boy 2's previews were also about 20% of The Invisible Man. I think with the WoM, The Invisible Man can do 15x but I don't see it do 18.2x. Based on posttrak, WoM is along the lines of It Chapter 2 but without the fan bias which is pretty good, but not Get Out good so I'm going with a lower IM than that movie.

1. I'm Thinking of Ending Things 2. Tenet 3. Green Knight 4. Da 5 Bloods 5. No Time to Die 6. Promising Young Woman 7. In the Heights 8. The French Dispatch 9. Never Rarely Sometimes Always 10. Soul

But those movies are scary. Midsommar's money shot wasn't the sex scene lmao.

That doesn't make movies like Midsommar, Hereditary, and The Lighthouse faux-horror. Most horror films aren't accessible to audiences. No one cared to see films like Doctor Sleep, Daniel isn't Real, Color Out of Space, Ready or Not, or The Lodge either. It's even worse OS. Unless its a Conjuring movie, OS audiences don't give a shit. This movie will probably gross half of its DOM gross OS.

You only like horror people like to see? I guess you love The Nun then? If the GA can't stomach movies like Midsommar, then I guess those movies did their jobs. I doubt anyone made it past the first horrifying 10 minutes of that movie.

Ah, so accessible horror = good horror.

Likely watching this in the next three hours btw. Maybe tomorrow if I'm not able to make it today.

Yeah, you have no clue what you are talking about.

Listened to the rest of the score and holy shit, it's the most beautiful score I've listened to in over a year. Maybe my favourite movie score since Phantom Thread's.

Lol are people seriously expecting the movie to be as backloaded as Get Out? That's like expecting a superhero film to be as backloaded as Black Panther or Wonder Woman, both of which (like Get Out), had out of the world WoM. Even if The Invisible Man had really good WoM, I doubt the WoM is Get Out good.

Seems like this movie isn't that good but based on the track I've listened to, Dan Romer's score could easily end up being my favourite movie score of 2020 even at the end of the year.

I think he means based on what you said about the OD PS to OD multiplier.

Maybe Taylor Swift watched The Wolf of Wall Street a few weeks ago. Taxi Driver inspired music video when?
