That must mean they're pretty confident in this!

Nvm, still could be a sign of confidence, who knows?

Fassbender's scream towards the end of the trailer always amuses.

[Ethan Hunt]

WRONG!!

Yeah, this feels like a dump. October 20 has so many releases and only two of them (Boo 2 and Only the Brave) will likely open to double digit millions.

[Alli]

I think it can manage an opening around 15M and some great legs

Should be close, but could be above.

 

If you look at some recent thriller/suspense in the lower/mid production range / not much or IP in the domestic market:

 

http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/genre/Thriller-or-Suspense

 

cure for welness: 4.35m

Triple 9: 6.1

secret in their eyes: 6.6m

No escape: 8.1m

Sleepless: 8.35m

The gift: 11.8m

Sicario (first wide weekend) : 12.1m

bye bye man: 13.5m

Money monster: 14.7m

american made: 16.7m

accountant: 24.7m

 

I think doing around what the Gift did (11m) is possible for the snowman (but 8.5 is certainly in the possible range).

I think it looks pretty good. The stars themselves won't put extra butts in the seats on their name only but the storyline looks good for a thriller.  This could surprise depending on reviews.

18A in BC. Man, the violence in here is probably gonna be pretty brutal.

 

Also, does anyone else get Walk Among the Tombstone vibes from this? Fall opener, extremely dark and grisly (maybe too much so to break out with the GA), an A-list actor in the lead, with creepy and dark previews.

That's exactly the movie this reminds me of. I'm expecting the grosses to be similar ($26M total).

This and Jigsaw's MPAA ratings both use "grisly"  

 

Quote

Rated R for sequences of grisly bloody violence and torture, and for language

Quote

Rated R for grisly images, violence, some language, sexuality and brief nudity

Reviews are coming from the trades and they're all pans. Poor Fassbender.

THR says it can be a commercial hit
