Krissykins Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 This looks very good. But I also wouldn’t be surprised with a sub $20m gross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 I jumped off the Eggers hype train. I really liked The Witch but found his next two movies pretty tedius to be honest. Hopefully his return to horror will be my return of liking one of his movies... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think a big studio movie will do sub 20M on Christmas calendar? lol It’s a horror movie, calendar is great, +50M even if opens with 10M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 As long as y'all still don't overreact if it does do under $20 mil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Don't see why it wouldn't do well. It looks impressive, the right balance of familiar and fresh, the "succumb to the darkness" line is more playful and welcoming than e.g. "the feel-bad movie of Christmas", might get some techs love from the awards bodies. I just realized it reminds me of Sleepy Hollow as a lush R-rated holiday horror, it almost certainly won't match it even unadjusted but I think it can be a success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a still a Robert Eggers movie. His films don't light the box office on fire. We just saw Ferrari open on Christmas Day and finish with 18.5m gross.

Well yeah it was a independent drama with a very cold and somewhat ambiguous narrative structure. It was also bought by NEON to distribution only, a studio that just had their biggest OW with Immaculate 3 months ago. I don’t think it’s a good comparison with a studio horror movie, made to appeal to mainstream audiences according to Eggers himself, with a way bigger distribution from Focus with Universal as partnership. See, i’m not saying it’s an impossible scenario, i don’t believe in impossible anymore when it comes to how bad things can go in box office post-pandemic. It’s just highly unlikely to a point that would justify some doom and gloom tbh when we remember that The Watchers and Tarot will made ~20M.

He debuted with a 17th century set horror drama in Old English that grossed more than what you're predicting for this. Most filmmakers are capable of reaching a bigger audience when the stars align. The Safdie brothers' highest grossing film was sitting at 2m before they made Uncut Gems which made 50m. Luca Guadagnino's biggest gross was 18m until Challengers. Civil War more than doubled Annihilation which had been Alex Garland's biggest movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
