fishstick Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Chronicle is found footage contemporary horror whatever that was meant to be #1 by default. TWIB is old-fashioned one. That TWIB is in photofinish with Chronicle is nothing short of a miracle. DR or not, that type of horror didn`t sell since The Others. So it`s a huge win for both movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 TWIB also didn't have dozens of geek sites trying their hardest to pimp it for months. I'm more impressed with TWIB's number but just happy in general that we're getting good successful movies in the 1st quarter instead of the garbage train we got the last few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWhoopee Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I've seen both now and liked Woman in Black a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayumanggi Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 So a 9.08 M Saturday for CHRONICLE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWhoopee Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Not to say Chronicle was bad... I'm a big horror fan and a big naysayer of the found footage genre, so the fact that I liked Chronicle means a lot. I really wished I could have seen it in the form of a big Hollywood production...

kayumanggi Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 20 M is possible even if CHRONICLE plummets by 75% on Sunday if that 5% increase report is accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 So a 9.08 M Saturday for CHRONICLE?Again, wasn't that the difference between Chronicle and WiB...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 20 M is possible even if CHRONICLE plummets by 75% on Sunday if that 5% increase report is accurate.That wasn't a report, that was me misreading the original tweet. There's a $500K difference between the films, as CJohn has pointed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 I see. So it's really too close. TWIB could win the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 It had Daniel Radcliffe though.Yeah and Dream House had Daniel Craig and two known actresses and it wasn`t a period movie.Big names don`t mean shit in horror genre where most successful movies are usually ones with total nobodies (PA, anyone?). That DR proved a draw is a great news for him but he wasn`t a sure thing. Not to take anything away from Chonicle but credit where it`s due. DR or not, it`s super popular fad genre vs something that worked in 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Dream House had the twist in the trailer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Dream House was so bad DC refused to promote it so they had to put the twist in the trailer since there was nothing going for that movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Well, that was a very bad move, IMO.Not as bad as Cameron SuperDitz Diaz spoiling The Box twist at the ComicCon. The one they tried to keep under the wraps at all costs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
