Never included.

that wouldnt be great at all given all the hype it has

? That estimate is made using the relative hype it currently has, it was talked about 50% of American Assassin, ask 100 random people on the street if they are considering watching the next Arofonsky movie mother! in theater and I'm not sure you will consider after that, that it is an hyped movie. That number is because the movie does not have much hype, they spent like 5m on domestic tv budget marketing without any high concept hook they can sell to an audience.

Are you again using flops in your unique personal sense ?

It wouldn't surprise me if its current budget was up to 50m including promotion. 

I really doubt it, last I saw they had a total of $4M+ in TV buys, they are doing very low budget stuff to raise awareness, imho.  And they clearly don't expect blockbuster results.  They are repeatedly saying 'this movie won't be for everyone - it is very intense'.

passengers, joy, serena and the underperforming x men movie

She has always taken less money for passion projects though, and switches them up with commercial fare. 

 

Passengers made $300M+ worldwide on a $110M budget, as a panned original property.  It is doing VERY well in the after market.  It definitely made money, and given it is an original property that was panned, the only reason there can be for that is the actors. That actually proves Jen and Pratt ARE draws.   Jen clearly did her part in Joy, (hence the Oscar nomination.) ...

 

But Barnack answered this better, so...

It seems that there are more pig's hearts out there to be found people!!

 

 

Although, I think the thing holding the key is different each time.  There may be some repetition.  Then you go to the locker the key fits and there are passes to the premiere there.

 

Clearly, you have to really want them.

I've long since accepted Aronofsky isn't my cup of tea, but I'll glad he gets to make the films he wants.

Not really a surprise that this is going to be divisive with the GA.

And he likes a lot of Jen's stuff, too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyhow, I'm now torn on whether to get tickets to the previews Thursday night so I can watch reactions instead of continuing to duck spoilers, or wait until the screening Aronofsky will be holding a Q &A after.

@trifle go to the Aronofsky screening. The audience there will probably be much more respectful  

[Harley]

Part of me thinks Aronofsky is trolling critics. Like he intentionally made a crap movie, presents it as art and laughs as critics fall over themselves for it.

I don't need them to be respectful, I just don't want to be completely spoiled....  We already have tickets to the Aronofsky one, it is a question of whether I should be proactive and see it Thursday night, as well...

 

 

I see a BOT emoji in the works!

Aronofsky is no stranger to controversy, he's not the guy critics usually fawn over. He has many fans but also a lot of detractors since requiem for a dream became a "notorious" movie at Cannes. Mother! is no different critical reception-wise than most of his movies.

Ooooooookay.....

The reactions on twitter are mostly positive, but people who hate it might just not be tweeting (a couple did but not many that I saw). Let's see what RT looks like tomorrow...

I love that clip/thngie.

Is that the first time it's been shown?

OMG...I cannot wait to see this...it's been a titanic task to avoid spoilers, but I am good and ready for the film.

@trifle go to the Aronofsky's screening, stay the f...k away from social media for 2 days. It's not that hard.

Yes, this is the first time it has been seen. The clips were from either the trailers or the posters but this puts them together  in a different way.

Except it will be two days full of first reactions to the movie....

I know, I know.... I probably will do that.  I have been sticking strictly to my timeline which doesn't have spoilers in it, since Venice.
