    I'm personally kind of stunned at the preview number and the potential opening weekend number for scream part 6. The original three are all but gone with only Cox remaining, and now you have a franchise that is nearing its 30-year Mark in just a few years from now. And yet now it's set to have its highest opening weekend ever? It's incredibly impressive in my opinion.

    Just to reiterate exactly what Baumer said...a 6th film in a horror franchise that spans 4 decades should not be this successful but here we are.

    I watched this yesterday and had a lot of fun with it. It's completely ridiculous but intense. Scream 6 has no right to be this bloody entertaining.

  2. Ive just seen it.

     

    I enjoyed it a lot but it isn't even remotely scary...creepy, yes but not scary. I did like that their real life issues (sex abuse, controlling mother, bullying etc...) was much more disturbing then Pennywise but overall it was not really scary.

     

    The kids were great. They all felt like real children and all were developed well ( Mike could have had much more to do then they gave him).

     

    There was an editing problem and it jumped a little too fast into dealing with the scares rather then build up tension and atmosphere.

     

    Still I enjoyed it and I hope the sequel builds more layers.

     

    8/10

     

    It's better if you take it as a coming of age tale with horror elements

  3. I kinda agree that the book did have some bits that felt like filler and just slogged the book down in too much detail and weird rituals. I truly hope they dont have the stupid spider finale and the native American stuff kinda felt silly in the grand scheme of the book.

    I personally don't think CotC is high up there anymore.  They have made about 7 of them that have gone straight to HV.  

     

    I'm sure there are other Dean Koontz and Peter Straub horror novels that would make excellent horror films.  And then you have Flowers in the Attic by VC Andrews.  I haven't read all of them but the first book is iconic and very well done.  If they gave it the right treatment, it could do very well, imo.

    They have milked it to death.  it might have to just be original horror movies.

    I seriously doubt that WB regrets making more of a profit. So no I don't think that WB would have spent substantially more money if they knew it would make as much when they could make the same amount with less money.

    Well you aren't WB so I don't think you can answer for them. Especially as the director himself said more scenes he loved would have made it in if not for the budget.

     

    Anyone disappointed with this opening is a troll and knows little about box office trends

    A 35 million budget is plenty big for a horror movie. Horror movies don't need 150mil budgets like Superhero movies, the genre is completely different.

    In comparisons with other genres it's not big. For a horror movie it's big but I'm sure if they assumed they were going to make $100m OW the budget would have been larger...especially as the movie called for a bigger budget to recreate scenes from the source material.

    I just don't get that it's R rated so it can't open big idea after an R rated film opened with 88mil just this past March.

    Its more to do with it being a horror movie as well. The horror genre has always had a niche appeal hence most horror movies having a low budget and being dumped in any month to scrape a small profit.

     

    IT wasn't expected to make a lot of money, the director has already said there was a few scenes they wanted to do but due to it being to expensive they cut them out. A $35M budget is low in comparisons with films from other genres.

     

    With this big opening maybe there can be more faith put into horror movies potential to connect with larger audiences.
