Holy fuck, Happy Death Day was fucking great.

 

One of my fave experiences this year at cinema, tons of fun, teens are going to eat it up, finally a Horror movie aimed to this demo that is actually great.

 

Jessica Roth was amazing, she’s going to have a bright future.

 

I can see numbers increasing during the whole weekend, it is extremely crowd pleaser, it’s just pure fun, WOM will be great.

 

Such an amazing end of year for the genre! 

I loved it too! Hope it does very well and can help bring us some more slashers.

Absolutely! I thought it was a beautiful homage to Scream, and Tree has become one of my fave heroine of the Horror genre, it is the perfect movie for Halloween.

Blade Runner not looking hot.

We watched it again this afternoon. Literally only my wife and I in attendance.

We did quite a bit... but the Masterpiece talk is pure hyperbole.

They spent nothing on marketing. The film has a tiny budget too. The director said she wished she had more money. 

Okay. Well, I hope it does make a profit.

THR's BR2049 upate has to be worst most insulting update ever...even including all of Nikki's shenanigans.

Quote

Happy Death Day will easily beat holdover Blade Runner 2049, which could earn anywhere from $13 million-$17 million in its second outing after debuting to a disappointing $32.8 million against a net budget of $150 million.

Might as well have gone with "it will earn a few million fucking dollars, why do you care asshole"

Happy Death Day was pretty fun.  Should play well with audiences.

[filmnerdjamie]

$10M wouldn't surprise me for Blade Runner 2049.

[filmlover]

Happy Death Day sold out a lot of shows around me tonight. I think it could do over $10M.

considering it had a 2.23 Thu (-9% from Wed), i don't think it can do below 14-15 but who knows.

minimum I see right now ... 4.5 (+102%) + 5.85 (+30%) + 3.65 (-38%) = 14

[Zakiyyah6]

I see Happy Death Day doing better than 9mil.

alright strap in boys, I got a long story for y'all

 

So tonight I was planning on seeing My Little Pony at 9:30 because I sure as hell was not going to go a show that had a lot of kids at it. I got a friend of mine to come along with me too so I couldn't back out or feel awkward about buying a ticket to see MLP alone. So we arrive at the theater around 9:20 and get ready to buy our tickets at the automated ticket booth (again we're not gonna go to the counter and go "Excuse me, 1 to My Little Pony: The Movie please"), but we can't find the show. We look all around the ticket booths but we find that they replaced the 9:30 of MLP with a showing of Happy Death Day! Thankfully, there was a 10:20 showing a half hour away so we went on a longer trip than usual to see My Little Pony.

 

But when we arrived at the other theater, the automated ticket booth was broken. So we had to buy our tickets from a cashier and she gave us some "First Movie Certificates" but it was okay because we got a private showing of My Little Pony: The Movie which was pretty fun. (It also helps that it's a better movie than pretty much everything out not titled IT or Blade Runner 2049). But basically yeah, I'm bummed I had to use a lot of gas to see My Little Pony: The Movie because a showing was cancelled for Happy Death Day. More like Unhappy Movie Day for Blanks.
