This has to at least outgross Annabelle's OW right ? Ahh well I guess if it fails we can add another meh to the summer.  

[maryksinger]

if this movie open with 35M, you guys see legs for 100M total?

[James]

I find it ridiculous that people went from 50m+ predictions to 30m just because of the reviews. It is OW. And 99% of the population doesn't give a fuck about reviews, especially the horror audience.

It's not because of its reviews, it never should've been projected at $50M+ to begin with.  Over $100M DOM just isn't a natural place for a horror movie to fall and definitely not natural for a sequel... even if this only makes $100M it should be considered a success. Look at some of the more recent $100M+ breakout hits and then the direct follow-up.

 

The Blair Witch Project (1999): $140M

Blair Witch 2 (2000): $26M

 

The Ring (2002): $129M

The Ring 2 (2005): $76M

 

The Grudge (2004): $110M

The Grudge 2 (2006) $39M

 

Paranormal Activity (2009): $107M

Paranormal Activity 2 (2010): $84M

 

The Conjuring: $137M

Annabelle: $84M

The Conjuring 2: ???

 

Obviously The Conjuring 2 is going to be better than some of these sequel turds but beating out the original with a $50M+ opening would've made it the only horror sequel EVER to beat out an original that grossed over $100M.

 

It should've always been predicted to drop.

If Disney had released the same exact movie this would be soaring above 90% on RT...

If Disney released all movies, we'd only get 90% RT movies.

...

 

Sure

[Krissykins]

Like I said, this could do a Ring Two.

 

Audiences loved The Ring, then The Grudge was released and a huge hit that by the time The Ring Two came around, some of the excitement was gone.

 

Same thing could happen with Conjuring - Annabelle - Conjuring 2.

I see what you did there.

STAHP, you're only making Johnny Depp (and Mia Wasikowska) sadder right now

[The Stingray]

Pretty much what I expected. Silly and unoriginal, but effective. Wan knows how to create suspense and scares. I just wish that next time he puts some more thought into telling a more compelling story. The movie also works a lot better when it keeps shit simple and grounded than when it goes over-the-top.

[Blaze Heatnix]

63% now...Jesus RT, stop falling.

[Claire of Themyscira]

I mean, I have no idea why people being extra, I really really liked it.

The difference in that analogy (Ring-Grudge-Ring2 :: Conjuring-Annabelle-Cojuring2) is that Annabelle is not comparable to The Grudge and did not have that much cultural impact. It won't able to take away from C2 imo.

 

Having said that, I am not denying that C2 could fall big from C1. Ring like drop could happen. Just saying that if such a drop happens, it won't be explained by the Annabelle/Grudge analogy.

That was a really fucking creepy-ass movie. 

 

I liked it!

I suppose it's asking too much to know if Vera Farmiga is ever nude in the movie??? That'd sell it for me..

You've misunderstood the analogy.

 

Analogy being: something similar/spin off was released between sequels and diluted interest. 

 

If Conjuring 2 opens less than Annabelle, it's a perfect analogy.
