So the "teaser before the actual trailer" thing that most online trailers have for this lasts 55 seconds....jesus.

Finally watched the trailer...this dude seriously calls himself Director X?

That's VISIONARY FILMMAKER Director X, thank you very much.

 

Anyway, this film looks very cut-rate and rushed. Then again, it was only announced back November and started filming in January, so I guess it's not too surprising.

Reminds me of when Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever was directed by KAOS

I think Superfly could do 10-15 OW in over 2,000 locations, but I am not sure if a directors debut will help boost up an OW by much. 

Keanu did 9.45m OW at 2,681 locations.  Superfly might be a slow burn drama too with bits of action and may need a large OW good WOM in order to stay high in the top ten when Jurassic World opens the following week.

I kinda liked the trailer.  @Jandrew had to explain to me who director X was.

Apparently this got bumped up to Wednesday the 13th

According to Rotten Tomatoes, the film is surprisingly good. Can this do better than expected? Perhaps it can gross similarly to Breaking In.
