filmlover Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 My audience had a completely WTF reaction to the trailer for this before Split over the weekend. I don't think it's gonna do too much, horror/comedy hybrids are always tough sells. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 How is this a comedy? It's psychological horror for black people who are defensive about racism, historically and currently. If you complain about Hollywood doing endless franchises and sequels here's them experimenting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Jordan Peele. Unlikely this will be played completely straight-faced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comedians can have darker ideas than Rob Zombie and Eli Roth put together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krissykins Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Seems to be getting a wildly positive reaction out of Sundance. Good news for Get Out is that the trailer was attached to Split, even here in the UK too. I've always said this will open north of $20M. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out now, after that RINGS viral clip getting 85.6m views yesterday on Facebook, 4.7m shares and 1.3m reactions. I think GET OUT will open to $20m+, but I think Rings will gross $40-50m total.

Mockingjay Raphael Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Holy Fuck! Already 14 reviews in and it still at 100%, and with a 8.0 Average score, incredible, looking for a score similar to Don't Breathe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumby Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 What "race conscious," "socially aware" film would get a bad review these days? None. This may stay at 100% and it's not because of anything to do with the quality of the film. I read an early script for this and the ending twist/plot point is so ridiculous, it's hard to believe.

Go back to the cave where you belong. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back to the cave where you belong. The audiences going to see that aren't there to see some overly skinny actress. They could not care less about anorexic, emaciated, sickly Emma Stone. They just liked the idea of an old-fashioned musical. And even I didn't think it was that bad, outside of the terrible, out of place opening freeway number.
