mother! | 09.15.17 | Paramount | Darren Aronofsky, Jennifer Lawrence | Razzie Awards frontrunner

[Lizzy]

Finally saw IT and the hilariously terrible mother! Trailer they played beforehand imo they should of just stuck to the original one. 

[Deep Wang]

Holy shit, lolololol

 

I CANNOT wait for people to see this.  

 

The general public is going to chew it up and spit it out. 

[KeepItU25071906]

30 m budget?

 

Hm... I've heard about 13 mln... a couple times.

[Noodlebug]

Despite that horrid trailer in front of IT, I'm still curious and might check it out, especially for the third act.

[Krissykins]

I think the "please buy tickets" trailer they played will be remembered more than the film.

I don't know about that! it's gotten pretty good reviews last time I checked. I'm hoping it does well but I'm keeping my expectations modest became people here keep saying how poorly it's selling so far. 

[Jake Gittes]

didn't quite love this but it sure is singular. Third act is a lot of fun if you're prepared to roll with certain things (and by that point I think the film makes fairly clear what it's doing so that shouldn't be hard).

 

I predict that the GA won't care for it and the Academy will politely ignore it. Certainly can't see any of the actors getting nominated. No, not even Pfeiffer.

I commend Jennifer for at least trying to expand the range of stuff she does post-THG stardom. Reminds me of Leo's post-Titanic career.

While she could be reaping more financial gains doing romcoms or quasi-women in peril films (well, at least the traditional kind of women-in-peril films), she is doing stuff like mother! , which I think builds an interesting body of work that helps her gain [more] respect among her industry peers.

And I say this as someone who is not exactly her biggest fan (not even close)

Jennifer Lawrence messaged me the other day saying she despises you.

 

lol but seriously I never understood why you criticized her so much.

Let's just say...that I dislike her for reasons that have nothing to do with her work. 

 

 

Having said that, I still find her an insanely talented young actress and a captivating movie presence, and I cannot wait till I see mother!  tonight.  

I am beyond hyped!!!

A new trailer came out exclusively attached to It that hasn't appeared online. It has the commercial narrator with big lettering hyping it up as a life changing experience coming out in one week at this theater. At the end of the trailer, the narrator tells you to go to the box office after the movie and get tickets.

Is that trailer different from the one that says (in big bold red letters), "you will never forget where you were when you watched 'mother!'"?  Are they two separate clips?

Yeah, it's much different. The one released online is better.

Forbes reported the $13 million number early on and it makes more sense than $30 milion. 

If you have seen the movie, the thirty million makes way more sense. It is way more special effects heavy than the trailer suggests. In addition, The Hollywood Reporter is very credible. 

[Gumby]

Don't know how presales are doing overall, but at my theater we've only sold two tickets so far and Mother is stuck in one of the smallest theaters.

Don't her many Oscars help with the respect thing? That is another difference with a young Leo.

[Valonqar]

JLaw career is fantastic not just for someone of her age (much harder to find good roles than 28-38 set) but in general. She has the right mix of blockbusters and prestige movies. That said, I wish she dumps X Men but it looks like she is a genuine fan. 

[The Stingray]

JLaw was bound to have haters. She's talented, beautiful, funny and rich. Some folks can't stand someone being so successful and flawless.

If Leo was a woman he would have won for Titanic.  Oscar (aka a body disproportionately composed of older men) loves it's pretty ingenues in the Best Actress category.  Pretty young men - not so much.
