That’s good you still went to see it despite riding the film for a few weeks and saying “this looks BAD”. I actually thought the opposite of you, dragged 30mins then it picked up. But overall I was pretty let down. 3/5.
Ungentlemanly Warfare cost $60m before P&A. Sensible decision to send it straight to streaming internationally.
Ah this was a bit of a let down for me.
It’s only 1hr49m but something about the pacing feels slow. Not many of the characters worked for me and Melissa phoned it in as a less entertaining version of Sam. But it still provides some great gore gags and the actress playing Abigail is terrific.
3/5
That’s ok for Abigail, hopefully it’s not frontloaded and gets $11-12m+ for the weekend.
Considering Universal only seemingly started promoting it this week, hopefully the great reviews will carry it. Should be certified soon at 83%.
Cinema counts:
Abigail 545
Butterfly Tale 439
Met Opera La Rondine 112
Jeanne Du Barry 104
The Book of Clarence 184
(So glad I can finally stop seeing the Book of Clarence trailer, looks like the most unappealing film in a long time lol)
Such a shame for The First Omen, loved it too.
Hard disagree.
Late Night With The Devil, Immaculate, The First Omen and Abigail all have more than good reviews. There are plenty good options and it’s only April.
The indies are doing the heavy lifting this year. Big studio wise: Alien Romulus, A Quiet Place Day One, Speak No Evil and Smile 2 will hopefully be big.
I didn’t realise this wasn’t coming to cinemas in the UK.
Not something I would bother to go and see though, but I must say the good reviews are surprise given the trailer.
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.
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
Luis is early but usually the tweets are full of nonsense. I can see why he doesn’t run a website lol
Its the 17th biggest 4th Monday for a film featuring someone with Blonde hair on the 8th week of the 7th year.
The takeaway from Civil War should just be: war is awful.
It’s an anti-war film. It makes you feel bad and shows you terrible things happening to people.
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).
