There have been screenings of this and the reviews on letterboxed are not very encouraging.

You’ve been really against this film since the start by the look of the previous posts in this thread lol.

 

Not expecting good reviews but I’m betting it’ll open in the teens and didn’t cost a lot. Probably another win for Blumhouse.

Blumhouse need to shift this. 

[svenson]

I am actually looking forward to this one 

[Boxofficerules]

I think this will probably have a similar run as The Bye Man, will have a Good Friday but will drop after that.

I like how everyone turns into the Joker when they are being controlled or whatever happens to them in the commercials  

[That One Girl]

Still think this looks fun as fuck

[Boxofficerules]

This just looks like the kind of movie that really should have been rated R. It’s baffling that it isn’t, especially with how well R rated horror movies did last year. Then again, R rated horror movies being successful changes nothing, when a PG-13 horror film is successful it means everything has to be toned down, cut, chopped, censored. Blumhouse have completely sold out, we all know the new Halloween will be PG-13.

PG-13? You’ve gotta be kidding me!

Movies that are stupid I don’t find fun when they’re completely unaware of how stupid they look.

supernatural elements, low budget, 12-16 OW.  40 Total.

*good spacing between supernatural/paranormal horror.

*potential for 10M total and still profitable

I too think it should have been R.

[Boxofficerules]

The more reviews I see pop up on letterboxed, the more I feel that this will open well but drop like a rock after that.

You seem very, very interested in this film yet you hate the look of it?

Quiet Place, Ghost Stories and Truth or Dare open within a week of each other, why is there so much horror crammed into such a small space/

Probably the Friday The 13th release date, same thing happened last October (Double Date, The Ritual, Happy Death Day and Jigsaw).

In part it could be that they are making hundreds and hundreds of them, and if you do not release them much during the award/christmas time nor summer blockbuster time, they will cram spring/fall:

 

https://www.the-numbers.com/movies/genre/Horror

Of the hundreds talked above, as much as 41 seem to trying to get a theatrical release... with only 5 of those in the months of may, jun, july, august month and only 2 in nov/dec, leaving 34 in only 6 month or 1.3 horror movie every week.

 

If you have something with a low entry bar in a free enough market that look profitable, market force will normally make sure to generate so many of them for the ROI on horror to not be higher than the rest overall of those 40+ 2018 horrors movie outside Blumhouse, not many will be successful and you still have to pay for all of those going direct to video or not at all.
