First Haley Bennett stopped M7 from over-performing, now she's doomed GOTT? 

 

I don't actually think this.

Do these rules apply to her?

Calmed down a bit.  Still pissed.  I come back from school to find this shit?

That won't even open with 20M.

Middle School could beat Birth of a Nation?? Come on, now

 

[filmlover]

$7.5-9.5M seems decent enough for Birth of a Nation. Yes, the movie is probably all but completely dead in the awards race thanks to controversy sinking it, but at least it won't go down as a write-off for FSL.

I stanned for Suicide Squad.  Didn't work out.  Stanning for Wonder Woman too!

 

So the two films that were exceptions were Sausage and Suicide.  I have the code!  I have the curse on me unless the film stars a male ensemble cast with a few females and a title that begins with S.

Reviews killed The girl...

[That One Girl]

Guys, it's official.  If I stan for Sing, it'll succeed.

[Maxmoser3]

The rest of this month looks like shit. Girl On The Train will make its $$$ back either way. Middle School has a small budget possibly and make $$. The Accountant could debut like Argo or Bridge Of Spies. But I think a north of $20 million debut is likely is for it. Kevin Hart: What Now? Will probably do $10 million OW at best. Jack Reacher, Madea, Ouija, Not Ashamed, and Jones's all bomb. Inferno is a hit overseas and falls short of $100 million in the U.S.

Why do you say marketing is misleading? If you don't want to post it here sent it to me via PM.

[filmlover]

I'm not surprised Middle School is looking to do relatively decent business btw (although it could be helped by the fact some schools are out in parts of the south right now). It's the last family movie until Trolls and it's based on a bestselling children's book (like the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies).

 

A Lionsgate movie doing well though would be the death of @CJohn though.

7-9M is not doing well. Anything over 10M would be a solid performance and it ain't doing that.

I doubt it. Gone Girl was a legit excellent book. The Girl on the Train was the definition of an enjoyably trashy summer beach read.

 

I dunna. A great director could probably take the book, turn on it's head, and make something entertaining out of it.

Doesn't matter how good literature the book is. TGOTT was well liked by millions of readers too. Even more than Gone Girl. Movies based on trashy novels  can be very successful. See Sleeping with the Enemy.

 

 

 

Sleeping With The Enemy was made in a different time, when more straight thrillers could make millions, movies could still have 6X multiples on a regular bases, and box office draws really still mattered.
