Nova Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 2016 will have 5+ films that pass $100M So far: 10 Cloverfield Lane The Conjuring 2 Lights Out The Purge 3 The Shallows (I'm adding this because it's at $99M+ and will pass $100M by the end of the weekend). I think Don't Breathe will get there as well as Blair Witch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Don't Breathe will get there as well as Blair Witch. Don't Breathe will do it, if Evil Dead can get over $45 million overseas. With much better word of mouth, Don't Breathe can do it too! Blair Witch in the other hand has potential but it could go anywhere in its ow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, you guys needs stop thinking that releasing a movie in summer is guarantee of good legs. Being a summer release didn't stop Poltergeist from having a 2.1x multiple or The Gallows from having a 2.2x, when a movie is bad received, not even summer weekdays can save it. Those 5 movies has good legs not because they're released in summer, but because they're well received by public, and, actually, The Boy, The Witch and Don't Breathe all ended with a multiple above 2.9x and are not even summer releases, well, maybe DB, but it was released in the end of summer, so I don't think it counts at all.

The Horror genre really thrived this summer in a summer filled with boring blockbusters. When people tell me this summer of movies sucked I'm like yea for Blockbusters but for other low to moderate budget films like horror ones and comedies, it was freaking awesome. I'm actually happy that blockbusters ended being a "disappointment" this season, so, small movies had some room to make decent money, they probably would not have that room if every blockbuster ended being super huge.

Which it could lower down to about 60-70% or so by next week. Or maybe it will stay in the fresh zone? Both Lights Out and Don't Breathe also started at 100% and ended being fresh! It's good to notice that the average ratting is at 8.1, that's really good, usually when a movie is going to fall, it starts at 7.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Don't Breathe will get there as well as Blair Witch. It's easier to Don't Breathe cross $200m WW than to it fail to make $100m. It is having increases over Lights Out in most of markets so far, this movie is going to end between $80m-$85m OS, if DB keeps that pace and manage to break out in some markets, we could be looking at a $100m OS total and $190m WW!

Oh, I had it in my head that Jaws 2 made it, stupid me. I would say Hannibal is horror, but to each their own on that onBe. Btw, Jaws' WW total is on Wikipedia at over 400M, iirc.

It definitely blends with thriller and sci-fi. Example: Personally I don't think I Am Legend is horror. It is sci-fi horror but the film is mostly sci-fi.

Did you guys enjoy it? I saw it a while back and i really liked it. I wouldn't call it a horror film though, more like a thriller. And it is definitely thrilling and really suspenseful. The violent scenes are brutal. I don't think it's as good as Blue Ruin and i'm pretty sure some people will be furious with some actions and decisions from the characters but i loved the realism and some times people do stupid things when they're under pressure. The director is huge talent IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A small release is not a guarantee of good legs, The Darkness had an even smaller release than The Witch and it didn't stop this movie from having a 2.2x. Yeah, I know that The Boy had the OW deflated, but it also held really well during it's whole run, it didn't have a drop bigger than 50% till the fifth weekend, for example. I'm not saying that summer has no impact in legs, I'm just saying that it's perfectly possible to achieve good legs in any season when the movie is well received.

Mockingjay Raphael Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 While I do enjoyed Green Room, I'm still wondering why it was so acclaimed, it's basically 10 Cloverfield Lane but without the: complexity, tension, interesting characters and with a lot of violence, as mentioned above, it was easily the most interesting thing in this movie. I also watched The Guest, I don't know if we can consider it a horror movie, but, oh boy, what an amazing movie! Such a good homenage to the slashers/action/sci-fi movies from 80's, this movie reminded me a lot of It Follows technically-wise, the whole atmosphere is totally It Follows, (yeah, I know that it came before IF), I loved the sountrack, it is so retro, but at same time, so fresh, that guy who played David is also amazing, I would love to see him making more movies like this, he has that perfectly sociopath vibe, I'm even more excited for Blair now!
