Noctis 25,031 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Yeah, seems like a movie where the first act's structure is wobbly but the second act is good and the third act is great and satisfying. Will be positive on RT. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ViewerAnon 1,435 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I think it's gonna end up somewhere between 55-65%. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Look at the RT score of the highest grossing movie from the conjuring franchise. And that is if it even reaches those scores. It could easily have a low average but a high percentage like other horror movies this year. Edited August 22, 2019 by lorddemaxus 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Valonqar 10,919 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 65% ain't bad. Aquaman got 64% and people loved the shit out of it, more so than some movies with higher rating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The run-time really, really hurts its chances of matching the first film. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll give you the runtime but that will only stop the movie from outgrossing the first film. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WoM won't be as strong, and the hype is already way lower than the first film's so I don't see it matching the OW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty much all the reviews says it's pretty similar to the first movie so I don't see WoM getting worse. If people enjoyed the first film, they should enjoy this. Most of the reviews are criticising the messiness of the script and the CGI which audiences don't really care about. If it delivers on the scares, is fun, and has a good conclusion, people aren't going to care and the reactions say it delivers on all three. And I can easily see this open the same or higher than the first film. Hype seems pretty similar. Edited August 22, 2019 by lorddemaxus 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is far from embarrassment. It is a goddamn roaring success. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And since when do critics ever have the pulse of horror movies? They very rarely ever feel the same as a horror audience does. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Since I've been called both in the last few days I personally don’t think you’re a hater, I think you sometimes get easily influenced by stuff you see online and that doesn’t always translate to how things will play out to the general public. For the record I have no idea how this movie will do but I’m seeing it opening night, already have my tickets. Edited August 22, 2019 by cax16 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Horror of Lucas Films 1,047 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 This movie would drop in any case, the reviews being less favorable than for the first one, plus, the runtime is just going to do even more damage. Currently expecting $220m DOM. 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OW is reportedly tracking at 95-115m. If it opens at $95m a $220m total with a 2.315 multi would be fine for a horror sequel. Halloween just had a 2.09 multi.
