Amazing they didn't have it on Friday the 13th to begin with.  There's no major film being released on that date.  Great move to get it there.

Well, The New Mutants was there

If you look at the horror thread, the second New Mutants got pushed back I made a prediction that Truth Or Dare would snap up that spot, didn’t think it would happen so fast though.

I think this looks pretty awesome!  Me and a few buddies are looking forward to this one.

[That One Girl]

This looks glorious

I’m hoping they don’t fuck it up like Wish Upon.

Um, @The Stingray you watched the trailer for the SYFY movie, not the Blumhouse one 

 

lol, my bad. Well, at least the Final Destination one looks better than the syfy one.

Imagine if it had stayed at its April 27th date.

Anyway I predict this will move to May 11.

Seems too close to A Quiet Place!

Blumhouse’s Truth Or Dare - Rated PG-13 for violence and disturbing content, alcohol abuse, some sexuality, language and thematic material. 

I guess it’s another Wish Upon, all interest in this movie lost.

Nah, the Friday the 13th gimmick is too good to pass up on. It'll stay where it is.

Happy Death Day worked and that was PG-13

No it didnt, it seriously should have been rated R, would have made more at the box office to boot.

R coulda made it better sure, but it was good enough for what it was. Made over 100M on a 5M budget, and it was a pretty decent movie to be fair

Did we not have 3 low budget R rated horror movies make over $100 million in the US ALONE last year? Everyone keeps saying that PG-13 horror makes more at the box office but that just doesn’t seem to hold up at all. If this is going to keep happening I feel the box office should reflect it but it really doesn’t.

There have been some pretty good PG-13 horror movies (especially Blumhouse productions like Insidious, Split, HDD, The Visit). There’s a market for both PG-13 and R Horror. In some cases an R rating is just unnecessary.

It was a once-in-a-decade phenomenon that you can't expect Happy Death Day to replicate. Blockbuster level marketing and source material that is one of the most popular books in the US from the past 50 years.

 

Get Out was a cultural phenomenon that got some of the best reviews ever for the genre, multiple academy award nominations (and a win), subject matter that captured the cultural zeitgeist etc. No WAY in hell would an R rated HDD be expected to do this

 

Not sure what the third one was. Split? That was PG-13 if I recall

When you’re dealing with a movie about people getting killed off in various gruesome ways you would expect an R rating to allow them showcase this. Instead they tone themselves down for some reason and make a lesser product because of it. Why? I’m sick of coming out of movies and saying “that seriously should have been rated R” and it’s happening waaay too much lately. Some films don’t need to be R rated like The Visit, Split it Insidious but HDD should have been R rated and so should Truth Or Dare. It’s baffling that they aren’t.

Annabelle: Creation but it was more of a soft R anyway.
