    I highly doubt they’d get away with making two films that have “no plot”. We have no idea what the plot of this movie is, we’ve not even had a trailer, so I think saying it has “no plot” is a bit of an unfair assumption to make this far out, plus just because the primary antagonist survives for another movie doesn’t mean that this film won’t have a worthwhile story.

    Coooorrect.

    "What makes this virtual event so special? Well, both Gordon Green and Jamie Lee Curtis will be taking part, along with special guests including John Carpenter, Jason Blum, Judy Greer, James Jude Courtney and Nick Castle!? - Per Bloody Disgusting.

    Jesus fucking Christ. All the movies I gave a shit about outside Oscar season. I barely feel like writing about box office even when it does come back :( Can't we trade Godzilla vs Kong and Halloween 2 or shit like that for this and Sopranos? If we are gonna do movies anymore at least.

    Absolutely not! I need HK to come out and devour at the box office this year or next year. :( I want In The Heights to do well, too.

    lol. If these lockdowns extend into early fall, I think you'll find the studios will be more than willing to keep pushing these films into 2021. 

     

    If everywhere is on lockdown until the fall, most of the movies currently slated to come out in 2021 literally don't get finished or in some cases, made, at all. 

     

    Sure, some movies will get pushed onto VOD, but as long as they still have a hope of releasing $150 million+ blockbusters into theaters, they still will. 

    Exactly. Indie/festival films will definitely go to VOD for the most part, but big horror and action blockbusters? No way.

  5. I think The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It might be the one to blink to 2021.

     

    SPIRAL is either going to take August, October (which... lol because they originally moved as soon as Halloween Kills was announced), or January/February.

     

    So that'll leave mostly Candyman and A Quiet Place Part II for September. 3 weeks between both, and another three weeks before Halloween Kills.

  6. It's still too early to really tell what'll happen with this one, it's still March.

    I know these last few weeks have felt like months, and there is a real possibility that things won't be any better by then, or that people won't feel comfortable going at the time.

     

    What we don't want is a second wave, so theaters need to be REALLY strategic with when/how they reopen.

     

    With that being said, I'm 50/50 on the marketing. On one hand, dropping a trailer now could be a bright spot in the horror community, something to speculate/talk about and look forward to. Either way you spin it, there's already discussion about whether it'll be delayed or not so it's not like a trailer would spark that conversation even more. But on the contrary, it is kind of like... so do you just... wait? Wait to start any marketing for any film in the fall since everything is in limbo?

     

    If it has to be, I'd rather it be pushed back a year which wouldn't be unprecedented for Universal with F9 (though that was primarily due to the overseas B.O numbers, which Halloween doesn't really rely on). This movie deserves a theatrical release through and through.

    Mulan would definitely outgross Halloween Kills if they shared the same date, but they’d likely co-exist due to being aimed at two very different audiences. There’s no way they’d schedule AQP2 around the same date as HK though, they’d cannibalise each other which wouldn’t be good for either film.

    Exactly, I'm not sure how Mulan and Halloween Kills occupy the same audience anyway.

     

    When HALLOWEEN came out, Venom and A Star Is Born still held very well, and HALLOWEEN still almost cleared 80M. That's the beauty of different audiences.

    I'm expecting 40-50 million opening this time around max. But let's say if they put "Mulan" or even "A Quiet Place Part II", I think both films could claim victory over "Halloween". Any news on when will the trailer drop? Btw, shooting of "Halloween Ends" is pushed for Summer 2020.

    I don't think either APII or Mulan will go in October. APII would make a killing in late September.

     

    Ends probably won't film until the fall. They were always supposed to film in the summer, apparently.
