The Witch | February 19, 2016 | The new indie horror darling

I guess now it has a shot at climbing over Ex Machina's $25.4m to become A24's highest grossing movie.

EDIT: A24 is re-releasing The Witch in theaters, taking it from 146 locations to 666.

 

The Satanic Temple approves the theatre count.

Theater chains/owners willingly latching on to this PR gimmick? Wow. Insane.

I didn't care much for the movie, but I have to concede this is quite clever and audacious, especially with Easter and GND2

It's only like one showtime a day pretty much everywhere

Actually, it is the single most ignorant promotion I have ever heard of. 

 

Can you imagine a car dealer having $666 off on Halloween or a Apple offering a 666 branded iPhone. 

 

But, clearly there is a witch hunt going on in Florida so I guess people have given in to there worst instincts. There is no future in it.

Yes I can imagine those things. And I would find them funny too

I think it's funny, A24 obviously toying with the kind of hilarious satanic temple endorsment, it's not like religious groups are offended. The movie isn't even on their radar.

You know it's a sad state of affairs when the studio that brought you Enemy, Under the Skin, Locke, The Rover, Ex Machina and Room highest grossing film only made a measly 25m.

I prefer to see the glass half full and just be glad they're in business

I dunno... basically all of those films performed more or less like I would've expected them to. Maybe Room could have done better prior to the Oscars (like with Whiplash the year before, I think it was a missed opportunity to not release it a few hundred theaters right away) if it hadn't got lost behind more hyped platform releases. Besides they've still only been around for three years.
