This film is 100 % RT Fresh and getting some of the best reviews I have ever read not just for a horror film but for any kind of film, period. Why aren't more people talking about this? Going by the reviews, Toni Collette seems like an undeniable Oscar nominee next year. Well if people aren’t talking about it besides critics that doesn’t bode well for its prospects at the BO. I’m worried about how much marketing a24 has done for this film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) I can't wait to see this but I'm not expecting much at the box office. $30-35M total is probably the best case scenario. Edited May 20, 2018 by filmlover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Heatnix Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I'm curious about how audiences will react to this movie. I mean, this one could be another The Witch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantasticBeasts Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Honestly this is the type of film I don't give a shit how it does on the BO. I just want to like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Another movie that spits on the genre but critics fap to it. Classic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a bit nuts, lot of those example are studio release with giant marketing budget, The Witch and IT Follows didn't flop at all, they were even successful.

It's much faster paced, tense and entertaining. It's not a typical jump scare, conventional horror and Rosemary's Baby is a great comparison many critics use but it's a much better watch. 20 hours ago, GraceRandolph said: Seems kinda dull. It isn't. 13 hours ago, TombRaider said: will probably pull a The witch/It follows and flop Sorry but you don't understand what a flop is. A flop is losing money. A24 doesn't spend 100-150 milion dollars on Marketing. The Witch was a great commercial success. The scale is different but so is the expenditure. The movies you mention as success stories had MUCH HIGHER marketing budgets because they were studio releases. Also saying "Unfriended is a hit" while "The Witch" is a flop is silly when there is only $6m difference between the 2. Sorry but Comparing Paranomal Activity to this is stupid since Paranomal activity had 5-10x the Marketing Budget. I know this forum is open to everyone but can you at least educate yourself before posting? 11 hours ago, The Futurist said: Another movie that spits on the genre but critics fap to it. Classic. Have you seen the movie? Nope, you didn't. Stop using the idiotic argument where critics are some old people smoking pipes. Horror blogs love this movie too. All the horror fans on the internet who have seen the movie are comparing it to Rosemary's Baby or Exorcist. Do you think Rosemary's Baby spits on the genre? Or are you a fake horror fan who started watching horrors with " I know what you did last summer"? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatree Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) Just because some people overpredicted the performance of The Witch doesn't mean it flopped. It seems funny that people celebrated Ex Machina's performance but decry The Witch... even though Ex Machina cost 3x as much.

Jake Gittes Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 The Witch also had a 42% second weekend hold and nearly reached a 3x multi, so it already found an audience while in theaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
