We all know that It will be a two-part movie, any chance for WB/NL to drag and become a trilogy? perhaps they need Peter Jackson to make it happen

I don't even know what else they would add to drag it out to a trilogy.

I just read that JLaw is taking a break from acting and doesn't have any projects lined up for two years

yeah can't see them not cashing that check. can they use the name 'pennywise' or is that out of bounds? i can see them making a 3rd movie with referencing him.

After seeing some of the plot details I completely understand why. It is not a mainstream horror film like Paramount marketed it as.

Needed jumpscares every 3 minutes

Probably do some re-release combining both films into a 4 hour movie. Call it "IT: The Complete Story" or something.

Wow, I've seen SO much trashing of mother! on my Facebook page tonight. Could this film end up being a "so bad it's good" cult classic??

She doesn't have anything scheduled after Red Sparrow and Dark Phoenix.

less than 50% 2nd weekend drop confirmed! 

[a2k]

19.2 + 25.5 (+32.8%) + 15.3 (-40.0%) = 60.0  bang on 60.0 with a 40.0% Sunday drop

Usually 'so bad it's good' movies tend to be movies that were trying to be serious but came off as silly for some reason.  I'm not sure if this fits that.

Oh, it's definitely gonna find some sort of "classic" status when the dust eventually settles, I'm sure.

[La Binoche]

If the performances weren't so good, mother! could have been the next Showgirls or Mommy Dearest.

@Alpha @a2knet and @MrGamer2558 have been threadbanned for 24 hours for Mother spoilers. As a reminder, no spoiler discussion of plot for new movies is allowed in weekend threads even within spoiler tags for the first 2 weeks.

[La Binoche]

Then again, no. Showgirls is a blast from start to finish. mother! is a chore to get through. 

[filmlover]

After seeing the movie I feel like JLaw should be applauded for doing it at all. I can't for the life of me imagine that she read that screenplay and thought it would do anything for her box office prowess whatsoever.
