They do a lot of movies until one happen to work, never go above the pre-determined amount and if the movie does not work, they take the L's, do not try to fix it with reshoot or buying a first weekend with marketing (they spent on those that play well in test screening). Lot of their movie's did 0 to 12 million worldwide in 2016/2017 Martyrs, Visions, Hush, The Darkness, In a valley of violence, Keeping hours, Incarnate, Alive and kicking, Lowriders, etc... we just do not remember any of those . But their losts are low enough that the winners (Get Out, split, Ouija, Purges, The Gift, Paranomrals, Insidious, Unfriended, Boys next doors and so on) more than cover for their lost that are expected to happen and not seen has problems but the design. And their lost are low enough because they embrace them and do not hate the lost, no ego here, no press pressure for any success either ever, no press when they fail, they simply bury them and pass to the next project.

Mockingjay Raphael Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Apparently there’s an embargo until tonight, I don’t get this, reactions on Twitter are extremely positive, with many calling it the best Horror movie of year, what’s Universal afraid of? Well, The Shallows also had an embargo until one day before the release and it turned out pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A critic told me press was embargoed on Piranha 3D cause the studio was convinced critics would trash it and where surprised when they didnt. Also Universal may have a deal with Slant Magazine so they allow them to have the only review for 2 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Still just the one on RT. I wonder if it'll end up fresh. Doesn't really matter anyway. I think this will be quite frontloaded because of the tie in with the Friday the 13th release date. I expect a Saturday drop just because of that.

Yeah, I hope it will be another The Shallows situation, with the studio being afraid of critics, but the movie still getting a good reception, and considering the opinion of the public -so far-, this will probably happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post, because it is pretty easy to only remember the hits and completely forget the Zeroes. Regardless of exactly how it works, the fact is, the plan does seem to actually be working. We, as fans, seem to be getting good movies out of it. That's all we can ask for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
