Horror 2015

[Krissykins]

I've really let this thread slide. Sorry.

 

Horror has been really uninteresting this year, quality and box office wise, IMO. Plus I've had a promotion at work and now don't have a lot of time.

 

Here's a look at 2016 wide releases, so far:

 

The Forest - January 8th

The Boy - January 22nd

Viral - February 19th

The Witch - February 26th

Rings - April 1st

Amityville The Awakening - April 15th

The Darkness - May 13th

The Conjuring 2 - June 10th

The Shallows - June 24th

The Purge 3 - July 1st

Lights Out - July 22nd

A Man in the Dark - August 26th

Patient Zero - September 1st

Untitled New Line - September 9th

A Cure for Wellness - September 23rd

Delirium- September 30th

The Bye Bye Man - October 14th

Underworld 5 - October 14th

Ouija 2 - October 21st

Strangers 2 - December 12th

I'm waiting for Krampus, but so far THE VISIT and THE FINAL GIRLS are my favourite genre films this year.

2015 horror was far too tame, something tells me that 2016 will be even tamer

Bolded are films I am excited for! Also, IMDB says Lights Out will be released now on September 9 next year, not sure if true or not.

[Krissykins]

There are currently 24 horror films scheduled for Wide release in 2016. 

 

Twenty-four!! 

 

No doubt most of the relativity films, the High Top releasing and Weinstein films will disappear. Some of the Blumhouse films might be hit with platform releases instead after their horrible 2015.

Jem and the Holograms, Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, Sinister 2 and The Gallows.

 

 

The Visit, The Gift, Unfriended and Insidious 3 were its highlights, but even Unfriended was expected to do much better and Insidious 3 had a big drop from the last film.

I'm going to start wrapping this thread up and start a new one for 2016.

So worldwide box office wise, 2015 joins 2008 as the only two years since 2001 that the worldwide box office for horror hasn't surpassed $1Billion.

 

Boo.

[Avatree]

What a rubbish year. Only two films over 50M.

 

And the highest grossing is M. Night Shyamalan's worst film.

Are you talking about quality or gross?

 

2015	The Boy Next Door	Thriller	$4 million	$52.4 million	10%
2015	The Lazarus Effect	Horror	$3.3 million	$64.1 million	14%
2015	Unfriended	Horror	$1 million	$62.9 million	61%
2015	Area 51	Horror	$5 million	$7,556	20%
2015	Insidious: Chapter 3	Horror	$10 million	$112.8 million	60%
2015	Creep	Horror	N/A	N/A	95%
2015	The Gallows	Horror	$100,000	$42.7 million	15%
2015	The Gift	Thriller	$5 million	$59 million	93%
2015	Sinister 2	Horror	$10 million	$51.2 million	14%
2015	The Visit	Horror	$5 million	$97.1 million	63%
2015	The Green Inferno	Horror	$5 million	$8.9 million	33%
2015	Jem and the Holograms	Musical	$5 million	$2.9 million	19%
2015	Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension	Horror	$10 million	$77.9 million	11%

 

Jem and Area 51 are the only movies that didn't make back their budgets.  Green Inferno is the only one that made back it's budget but didn't double it.  Everything else on here made at least 5x it's budget back.  I don't know what your metric for success is, but I highly doubt they are going to all of a sudden not keep doing the same thing they have been doing.

 

Of the 12 movies with info included here, they cost a combined $63.4m and made a combined $631.9m.  I'm still failing to see that as anything but pretty goddamn successful.  Can any other production company say that their entire output for an entire year combined to make almost 10x their collective budgets?

[Boxofficerules]

Why you talking about Jem, that ain't a horror movie?

personally I found 2015 to be very disappointing, pretty much every movie I was looking forwards to turned out to be mediocre.

[Maxmoser3]

Next year will be interesting with The Conjuring 2, and The Purge 3.

You might be forgetting the $15-25m spent to release them (Domestic only)

You're in the minority on that one. (Last Airbender, After Earth, Lady in the Water)

 

Visit is one of my favourite films of the year. The  twist took me by total surprise. I thought I had thought of everything, but I was wrong. Such a fun film.

[Krissykins]

Krampus is having a really decent run. Happy for it.

 

2016, with slight updates: There are ALOT of horror films currently scheduled. Wouldn't be surprised to see some moving.
