The Conjuring 2 | June 10, 2016 | Let the RT Watch commence.

25M OD

 

55 OW

 

110M Total

 

 

overreacted?

The first one had incredible WOM and a 3.3x multiplier. Yeah, this will be more froantloaded but even so, a 2x multiplier is unlikely. That's Paranormal Activity level and it's not going to happen. The OW sounds good though.

[DAJK]

This should have an OW at least in the low 50s, and a 2.5M multiplier is possible so a 125DOM total is certainly plausible

[Ethan Hunt]

Am I the only one who thinks this will decrease OW?

[Mockingjay Raphael]

Am I the only one who thinks this will decrease OW?

Why do you think that?

[75Live]

It may finish with a lower total overall (not saying that will happen), but I think OW will be bigger than the first

[Ethan Hunt]

Why do you think that?

Well the first one broke out because of the reviews. This one probably won't have anywhere near as good of reviews. People won't be as excited. Conjuring opened big because people heard it was something special. This one will be just another horror film. It will still open well because of the brand but I see it decreasing.

I think the great wom of the first will help a lot. The core audience don't read/care about reviews imo.

Then why did the Conjuring open so big?Reviews don't effect movies much in a lot of cases, but in this case I think the reviews were well publicized and people bought in because of it. Edited August 17, 2014 by Ethan Hunt

Then why did the Conjuring open so big?

James Wan's name is gold when it comes to horror+plus WB marketing campaign

[DAJK]

I'm not sure how this works, but if Fast 7 is a critical success, is WB allowed to use that in their marketing (brought to you by the director of Fast 7 and the Conjuring), or because it is a different studio are they not allowed to do that?

 

Maybe it's a stupid question but whatever...

mmh not sure about that..but it doesn't matter about him directing Fast 7..what's relevant is directing the 1st Conjuring and Saw and Insidious 1 and 2 and even Dead Silence

[PatrickvD]

The first one was a runaway success. $137 million at the Box Office domestic, over $300 million worldwide and 86% on Rotten Tomatoes.

 

If they can deliver another well received film I see no reason why it can't increase over the first one. Which I loved by the way.

I had no idea he did Dead Silence

[Johnny Wiseau]

I had no idea he did Dead Silence

which is underrated imo

[Alpha]

Dead Silence is a pretty creepy movie.

 

James Wan really is horror movie gold.

I see a chance to 110M, if the film is good it is almost certain

[maryksinger]

OW

 

Friday = 25M

Saturday = 19M

Sunday = 12M

 

 

possible

[James]

OW

 

Friday = 25M

Saturday = 19M

Sunday = 12M

 

 

possible

It's very possible. And with that OW 120M+ total is locked.

sarcasm? hahaha

[James]

sarcasm? hahaha

No. I'm very serious I think you misread my first post. I was saying that there is no way it only makes 110M off a 55M OW. I see it finishing around 125M.
