The bigger issue is that

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

nothing actually comes at night. A lot of people will go in expecting a creature feature thanks to the title alone

 

Honestly just from the trailer I expected the movie to do something like that. However most of the GA expects the same generic stuff in their horror movies. When I went to see It Follows a couple of teens I knew were in the audience and after the movie we talked and they asked me if I thought it was as terrible and boring as they did.

A:C, POTC, MUMMY have been 3 bummers in varying degrees.

 

These 3 movies combined may not beat WONDR:

A:C 75 + POTC 160 + MUMMY 70-75 = 305-310

not surprising for the Mummy, it always looked bad and reviews were spot on. Hopefully this makes Cruise go back to making real films again with top directors.

Wish Pirates was doing better. I'd like at least one more

Waiting for him to go back to making stuff like Magnolia and Collateral. I guess mid-life crisis hit him hard considering he's done almost nothing but action flicks for the past however many years.

Yeah. Am very strongly rooting for both CARS3 and APES3...but checking my expectations now.

 

Hoping both do 155-160 Dom at least, a la POTC.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Hollywood will be screwed when the superhero bubble bursts.

 

Can't wait for Transformers to underperform next

 

SM:HC may underperform expectations 

 

Apes franchise though will probably hold steady

[a2k]

VALERIAN and ATOMIC BLOND could both go over MUMMY and A:C.

Spider-man looks surprisingly dull.

Not that it would actually change anything but that would be great for the industry.

Valerian can't break out during Summer in my opinion

It Comes At Night is why many people have no problem pirating movies. Saw it in a small theater that was extremely well behaved and could not tell you the amount of "what the fuck was that?" and "that was fucking horrible." when the credits rolled. So many people sat in their seats with this perplexed look in their faces. They couldn't believe it was over or that they spent $14 on it.

I was really enjoying it up until the ending too and I like art house type horror films. Unlike Personal Shopper I wasn't smiling when this ended like Huh! I was grimacing with Huh?! That was it?!

Lol @ at that 48% audience score for IT COMES AT NIGHT on RT.

 

Misleading marketing will do that to ya and I can't really blame audiences for getting pissed off.

It's going to drop even further. That movie will not have good WOM.

100 would be great for AB, not so much for VAL considering the budget, but still a symbolic victory for an original film.

If JA nearly managed 50 dom in Feb, IMO VAL which seems superior to JA can do 75+ in summer to go over A:C/Mummy.

[aabattery]

I think Valerian could overperform simply because everything else is doing pretty shit, other than the SH movies.

 

People gotta go to something. It is a bit early to make claims like that though; something else might end up breaking out so who knows!

So according to you people pirate movies because they don't like them 

[babz06]

So It Comes at Night is gonna have horrible legs probably. Making The Bye Bye Man look good.

[The Dark Rock]

Awful for Mummy considering the franchise name and Cruise as star. Cruise should stop playing the similar characters again and again and again like EOT

[The Futurist]

The A24 Formula strikes again.

They probably think they are so cute.

They should go to streaming services, that s where they belong.
