The Bye Bye Man | Stacy Title | January 13, 2017

[franfar]

That was the worst trailer I've ever seen, full stop. I'm not even into horror that much and I KNOW this is bad.

 

This will make 4m DOM, maybe.

The box office headlines will write themselves.

There seems to be zero buzz for this. Not seeing anyone talk about it other than to trash it. Last year The Boy at had people talking about it.

Somehow this will open to 10 mill.

Anything is possible in a world where The Devil Inside made $34m OW.

Bye bye Bye Bye Man.

This looks terrible, but January horror films are pretty consistent... an OW around 10M and a final of 20-25M is pretty much a given. I think the lowest grossing one in awhile was The Devils Due, and even that opened to almost 8.5M. And it's been awhile since the last horror film, so the market is ready for one.

OW: 8M

THEY SAY "DON'T SAY IT DON'T THINK IT" 60000000 TIMES IN THIS TRAILER. STOP TRYING TO FORCE A CATCHPHRASE YOU GOOFY MOTHERFUCKERS.

 

"THE BYE BYE MAN" WHAT KINDA BULLSHIT IS THAT. LIKE CALLING FREDDY KRUEGER "MR. DREAMOPUS". OH YEAH, I'M FUCKING TERRIFIED OF THIS LAZY TOWN CHARACTER.

We Are Number One, but every one is replaced with 'Don't say it, don't think it'

I'll make it, probably during the weekend. 

[robertman2]

Assuming Dead Rising 4 and Witcher 3 don't distract me the whole weekend

[MovieGuyKyle17]

This looks awful yet somehow I still expect this to make money because the January horror films somehow make bank. Granted not a lot of money but still make enough to cover the budget. 

[MovieGuyKyle17]

Even The Boy made 10 million it's opening weekend somehow made 35 million domestically and 64m worldwide. 

[Krissykins]

This should do between 15-20 domestic. January is usually good for horror.
