Mother! starting off at 51% on RT Audience score is surprisingly bad. Movies recently have started with barely a fresh Audience score with say mid-60s and ended up rotten (TF5, Valerian), but Mother! has to be one of the lowest starts in recent times.

 

Reminds me of It Comes at Night which is at 44% Audience score and would have started similarly. It had 2.3x dom multiplier. 

 

There hasn't been any correlation shown between RT Audience score and legs but in extreme cases it has to mean something.

In this case the alt-right trolls descended. Bunch of snowflakes.

The Mummy and 47 Meters Down were in a similar range as mother! on OD (the latter was worse IIRC) and ended up having meh and great legs respectively. I'm not expecting more than a 2.5x for mother!, but the low audience score isn't a complete death sentence.

Blaming Mother's numbers on Lawrence is like saying IT is such a hit because of Skarsgard. 

[a2k]

By Sunday, IT will leap over all of these. Phew.

I don't think folks are blaming her but instead saying that star power is over-rated.

That I can agree on. You need more than just a recongnizable/popular face to sell your movie.

I commend her for taking a risk. She is a target. The big female stars generally are. This is an insane film. I don't love Paramount's release strategy or marketing, but there are not a lot of good choices with this type of film. Jlaw took on an extremely risky, controversial project. Even without Fox News attacking her left and right (20th Century Fox must be thrilled Re: Red Sparrow), she knew this film would not be an easy sell at the box office. But she did it anyway. And in the long run it will pay dividends for her career. But in the short term trolls and haters can bray.

I'm just reading the user comments on RT...

 

1) "Worst movie ever, and I'm a Jlaw fan."

 

2) "Nothing happens until the last act."

 

3) "It's nothing like the trailer."

 

 

 

The number 3 complaint is the one that keeps being repeated several times. I guess that won't end up well for legs...

Depends on awards.

I saw a zero star review. Very divisive film.

Hyped ! So glad Halloween: Ressurection is being ignored. Title needs to be H40.

Quite a few 3/5s as well.  It's not just love or hate.

Guys, IT has opened at $3m in Mexico.

 

Let me repeat, IT had an OD of $3m.

 

- It had the second biggest OD of year there.

- It almost DOUBLED Annabelle: Creation's numbers.

- IT is tracking to an OW around $14m (only behind F8).

- IT may gross $30m in Mexico alone.

 

HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

[FantasticBeasts]

It's ridiculous to think that JLaw may have impacted negatively mother's box office.

Actually she was the only thing the movie had as an advantage...

[Boxofficerules]

mothers box office will be impacted by the fact that it's an art movie that really should have had a limited release. It's not a wide release movie at all!

[MrPink]

Angelina Jolie would have saved mother!

2nd Update: As forecasted, New Line’s It is prevailing with an estimated $55Msecond weekend, -55% for a running total by Sunday of $213.7M. Again, that’s a record because’s it’s the second best weekend in September ever following It’s mind blowing $123.4M three-day. Today alone, It will make an estimated $17.5M per industry estimates.

 

CBS/Lionsgate’s American Assassin is looking at $6M today and $16M for the weekend in second place. The pic was co-financed by CBS and Lionsgate for $33M. Paramount’s mother! is looking at $4.2M today and $9M-$11M this weekend. Many believe it’s going lower because audiences since last night have been hating on the Darren Aronofsky-Jennifer Lawrence team-up. mother! was sold like a Screen Gems horror film, but when moviegoers finally get inside the theater, they find out it’s something completely different. PostTrak results reveal a 51% overall positive and a 33% definite recommend, which is as bad as its gets. American Assassin has better results, but not super hot with 67% overall positive and a 43% recommend.
