Once upon a time there was a film called In the Deep. This film was a low budget creature feature that was set for an August 2016 DVD release. The movie starred Mandy Moore, Claire Holt, and Matthew Modine. It had itself set for DVD shelves and digital VOD outlets until some ass hat movie studio named ENTERTAINMENT STUDIOS (yeah great name) decided to buy the rights from Dimension Films and release it to theaters a goddamn year after for my dumbass to sit through.

 

When an intentionally bad film is sent to DVD, I don't have to touch it. I purposefully don't watch straight to DVD films. Sometimes they find a home through home releases as some movies like Sharknado or Trick r' Treat become cult classics. But when you send that meant for DVD film to a damn theater, I will treat it like a movie that is sent to a damn theater because honestly THERE IS NO REASON WHY THIS FILM NEEDS TO BE IN A DAMN FUCKING THEATER!

the sharks are chasing him to the theater as we speak  

[JohnnyGossamer]

So, I'm curious how this one opens? $15M+ DOM? Or, is that too high? It's the one that I plan to see this weekend.

[JohnnyGossamer]

By the way, In The Deep is a better title.

[WrathOfHan]

Lmao, this will be lucky to open to 5M

yeah I would say that is too high.  Unless some breakout happens, it will be closer to $15 mil in its entire run than on OW

Since the Marketing for this movie is piss poor, it'll have to rely on very good WOM and make the studio look stupid for not promoting this better..

I don't disagree. There's an audience for movies like this and I'm in it. Marketed better and looks like a fun, silly shark flick.

[Nova]

The biggest issue with this film and I've already said it before is that the marketing for it hasn't been good at all. Having seen the film, the marketing is really letting it down. I think the film will have decent WOM but it's not going to be anything that buoys it throughout the weekend or even its run.

 

The marketing needed to be better to sell this movie. The screams and review blurbs aren't selling this film for what it is. 

[filmlover]

Don't think this is guaranteed to make $10M in its entire run even with that theater count. The Shallows definitely looked much better.

See?? This saddens me and causes me to be concerned next summer with the marketing for "MEG".. Jesus, this movie is 20 years in the making.. I pray they don't screw that up and actually take it seriously.. 

I just feel like the way they're marketing this movie really takes away from the type of intense film it is. I know I keep harping up this tree but apart of the reason why The Shallows was as successful as it was, was because the marketing was A+ for it. 

 

So it's definitely possible to market a movie like this the right way and I think the folks behind Meg will find the right balance of providing intensity, action and angst in their marketing. 

 

The folks behind 47 Meters Down haven't found the right balance (imo) and ultimately I think it's going to cost them.

Anytime a movie has a "Critics" ad before any actual reviews are published you know it's a dud

What about Wonder Woman?

[Ezen Baklattan]

Maybe the 3500+ theatre could could be legit. It's managing to show up in even the smaller theaters nearby.

Same here. Feel like we're about to watch the box office version of limbo.

Buddy went to the premiere last night, said it was better than The Shallows because this movie is actually kinda self aware and not completely serious.

Duh, it stars me.

[Nova]

There's no way this is opening in 3500 theaters. It's not in any of the big theaters that have reserved seating in my area. 

 

I think its probably 1500 like EC said, but there was just a mistake made when the theater counts were released.
