However this ends up quality-wise, Paramount financial troubles continue. They need A Quiet Place to get here as ASAP as possible.

They need some easy profit to cover some of their losses. 

 

And it looks primed to be this year's horror breakout.

What about the last time you called for a sci-fi movie to break out?

Does Jumanji count as sci-fi?

Intriguing premise + unique talent + low budget + SXSW premiere + smart horror appetite = Quality + $$$   

 

Truth or Dare can sod off.

In the beginning of January I was thinking like $40M total or something like that but that was before the good reviews hit.  I’d have to find my prediction tho

That got the Sundance surprise premiere. A Quiet Place is opening up SXSW. There’s no way they’re not confident in it.

Just think, you'll probably be able to use your phone in the theater without constraint.

I hope this can find an audience but I think this is going to struggle unfortunately.

Yeah, this movie is great and could do very well if Paramount can get their head out of their ass.

This movie seems to have no GA appeal whatsoever so the position of Paramount s head would not change a damn thing.

Paramount it's a mess right now, just flop after flop after flop.. their markering department is just the worst.

I think this looks intriguing, I hope it doesn't suck. I will say you stretch the bounds of credibility for me when 4 women walk into this apparently dangerous situation, not a single guy around. Yeah, yeah, I get it, 2018 "girl power," but the reality is there would be a squad of Marines going in with them, not just a couple of girl scientists. That... doesn't make any sense. Most scientists are men, first of all, and most soldiers are men, and we have a movie where all of the scientists and soldiers are apparently women. Cool, so I have to suspend my disbelief on the concept of the movie and the actual characters, too. Ooooook.
