Ouija is actually kind of a nice goofy little chill movie tbh

Yet you didn’t like Split.

The Shallows, Lights Out, and Annabelle Creation all came out during the summer. The last one especially benefited from a weak market altogether. 

These movies got good multiples because they had good WOM, a summer release means nothing when your movie sucks, The Gallows had an awful multiple and it was released in the heart of summer.

The overseas numbers for Happy Death Day are quite low. I mean, movie opened with 5 million overseas and is now at 12 million ( updayed today ).

 

Anyway, the movie is a sucess because the budget is so low. I liked it and I'm happy I watched it.

Low budget horror movies with few exceptions have never done huge numbers overseas. Plus it was only released in the U.K. this weekend. Happy Death Day is a successful film regardless.

It happens every year. Good movies flop or disappointment sometimes. No need to have a tantrum.

Yup. Some of my favorite films weren't huge box office success. Not every movie catches on with moviegoers, for one reason or another.

Split is also a kinda nice goofy chill movie.

HDD’s comedy element is being overplayed.  It’s definitely got comedic elements and it has a very playful tone but it’s not a straight up comedy.

Sine we’re talking about horror at the box office, even though it’s early I think Spooky Jack might be a big hit if Blumhouse and Dreamworks make it work.

Ouija debuted near Halloween (which HDD will also get a boost from).  Without it, probably wouldn’t have crossed a 2.2x

Ouija was released one week before the Halloween, and it had good drops even after the Halloween, it only started dropping hard when it lost screens.

Of course you try to turn the discussion into an animated film.

Maybe Universal should have kept Insidious 3 in October and released HDD in January. Maybe people are more in the mood for a more serious toned horror film in October. The comedy element probably wouldn’t have bothered as much people in January. Also being comedy horror probably put it in direct competition with Madea.

Does this new Madea movie also has YOUTUBERS? I remember that the first movie affected Ouija 2 last year because it had a cross-over audience with teenagers because of these youtubers.

What’s funny? Deadline mentioned that the first movie had an unexpected teenager audience that improved it’s numbers.

Under. This isn’t making even $25m DOM. It has ZERO buzz.

[YM!]

About to see Geostorm. Hopefully it’ll be fun at least.

Big animation news!!

Despicable Me 3 has officially crossed FINDING DORY to become the #4 highest grossing animated film OF ALL TIME!!

Illumination now has the #2 and #4 highest animated films of all time (Minions and DM3). 

 

Total Lifetime Grosses

Domestic:	$263,269,020	25.6%
+ Foreign:	$765,400,000	74.4%
= Worldwide:	$1,028,669,020

 

Great for DM3 considering it came in 100 less than Pets and DM2 (domestic), and overseas exchange rates are not all that great.

lmao I keep forgetting that this is getting IMAX

 

 

Most IMAX theaters next weekend

 

[Mockingjay Raphael]

Jigsaw getting an IMAX release, while none of the TCU movies got one so far is almost offensive.
