    Honestly sometimes I can have toxic positivity when it comes to the box office ("oh it'll all be fine!") but seriously, if this movie disappoints in a big way I'm going to go on a big "original movies are dead" rant. 

     

    Yes, I know this isn't technically "original" but for all intents and purposes, for 99% of the GA it is. Great reviews, the biggest stars on the planet, a great hook/concept and fun trailers. 

    Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling? That’s a bit generous, when neither of them have been proven to open a film. 
     

    (love them both, but still).

    Universal has been pushing Abigail like crazy these past few days. Definitely won't be due to a lack of awareness if it doesn't hit double digits.

    Have they? That’s good to hear. They haven’t even had a red carpet premiere for it yet. 
     

    Wish they were promoting it here. All I’ve had are some sponsored instagram stories.

    It's everywhere. Honestly sub 20 would be disappointing given the push. Do you know what the (reported) budget was? I say reported bc they always love to under-report. 


    Budget: $28m (Variety)

     

    Nothing has ever been pointing towards a $20m opening though. Especially when trackers here point towards $1m previews. It’s been tracking low double digits for weeks. 


    Ungentlemanly Warfare budget $60m

    We can always disregard the nonsense you are referring to and still get the numbers that we need. Unlike BOM that reports only weekend estimates. They don't even bother to report the actuals lmao. Same thing with box office pro. No dailies. The only reliable ones now are Luiz and box office report. These are the small ones. They never claimed to be the "LEADER" in box office reporting and yet they are doing the job right.

    Oh yeh I didn’t say he wasn’t early, and thanks for sharing them.

     

    Just a joke about the manic style of his tweets.

    What ever happened to slasher movies? It feels like horror nowadays is mostly supernatural. 

    Slashers have had a bit of a comeback in the 2020’s decade:

     

    M3GAN (technically she’s a slasher like Chucky), Scream 5, Scream 6, Thanksgiving, X, Halloween Kills, Ends, Freaky, Terrifier 2. Then streaming films like Totally Killer, Fear Street 1-3 and Sick. 
     

    This year we have In A Violent Nature, The Strangers Chapter 1 and Terrifier 3. 
     

    (Totally Killer & Sick are excellent if you haven’t seen them).

    Has it been? Feels like the only real disappointment has been THE FIRST OMEN, and that's a movie based on a dead franchise where the last movie was pretty badly-received (plus Disney waited till very late in the day to start marketing and even later in the day to tell the world 'Surprise, it's actually good!').

    But looking at the rest of the calendar, the wide stuff has done about as well as could be expected (NIGHT SWIM and IMAGINARY performed like typical Blumhouse slow season dumps, LISA FRANKENSTEIN played like JENNIFER'S BODY without stars, etc) and IMMACULATE and LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL both over-performed, at least compared to my expectations.

    Having only one horror film reach $30m by mid April is a pretty crap year compared to what horror can usually do. Even Blumhouse usually do better with their films released in the first quarter of the year.

    I am not a horror movie person. But just from a BO perspective what the hell has happened? The last few years have been great for horror. Just fickle audiences I guess.

    Yeh it’s been a crap year box office wise. Also notably there have been no sequels outside of The First Omen. Which is good for horror fans, but not so much if people aren’t showing up.
     

    It’s such an interesting year too. But I wonder if Smile 2 and a Quiet Place Day One will be the only big grossers. 


    Immaculate and Late Night with the Devil did break records for their distributors though. So not all is lost.
