10 Cloverfield Lane | 3.11.2016 | Walking Dead TV Spot on Page 15 | Tickets on Sale Now!

Wow. The reviews are better than even I hoped for. RT average at 8/10 atm. Hopefully, the film can perform above folks' expectations. I still maintain 30M, but maybe it can do more. Maybe it's numbers can be inflated w/the one-week IMAX showings (hopefully, not all IMAX theaters drop it in favor of Allegiant, tho).

 

Crazy how almost every great film of the year so far has been directed by first timers - Tim Miller (Deadpool), Robert Eggers (The Witch), and now, Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane).

So I'm guessing the plan is to hope that the movie is so good that the dullards of America don't get all mopey that Clover isn't in this?

 

Seems to be going good for them so far, although critics are far more forgiving about this kind of stuff.

 

Edit: worked for me too, as I just found myself purchasing a ticket for a screening tomorrow night. Surprisingly not sold out. Like, not even close to sold out. Hmm.

Variety is predicting $19M.

15 positive, 1 negative, 7.5 avg rating.

Personally, I think anything over 20m is good

that seems good, i think it will be around 15m, lot less hype than Cloverfield, probably would have been higher a few years earlier

Agreed. A two hour movie about a woman trapped in a bunker that may or may not be linked to a sci-fi movie (one that everyone mostly remembers for it making people sick, if at all 8 years later) is not exactly something that screams "mass appeal."

But it's a crowd pleaser.

That doesn't always translate to bigger consumer interest. At least in terms of opening weekend.

I'm trying to stay in the dark on this one. I have an overall sense of the plot from the SB commercial but that's it. The RT score (I don't read the reviews) looks promising!

>Great film

A domestic haul  of $50M to $60M is about right

[Hangman]

Saw a screening of this tonight and I really enjoyed it. 

 

Spoiler

I didn't really care for Cloverfield and the whole "first person" camera footage stuff, so I'm glad this was nothing like that.

 

Good acting and a lot of suspense/mystery.  Fun movie!

 

8/10

No, it's the Jurassic World boss lady.

Wrong again. It's the Not Jessica Chastain lady.

Checked my 7:00 showing again to see how much it's filled up and... yeah just a couple more seats purchased. 80% of the theatre still empty.

 

This may just end up being a walk-up film... too bad that's not what Paramount is counting on.

It's nice when a movie you're looking forward actually pays off for once.

 

Its nicer when a movie you're looking forward to that everyone slates prior to release actually pays off, like deadpool

Can be very confusing: Chastain, Howard? Howard, Chastain?
