This is about to be significantly less accessible than Hereditary and if the GA were to see it they would most certainly despise it, but it's also not being advertised as much like a horror movie as Hereditary, and its weird indie genes are a lot more clear in its marketing so I feel like a big enough percentage of the opening day audience will be A24 and Ari Aster fans to offset it slightly, enough for it to get in the D range.

Yeah part of me is thinking this too. But that will also mean smaller box office, which I guess was inevitable. Hereditary had a much more marketable premise. I can see this performing like The Witch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Does anyone know if that rumour about the white widescreen bars is true? New trailer didn’t have them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New trailer didn’t have them Apparently the film has been in post-production since even after the release of the last trailer. A24 posted a photo on their instagram with Ari Aster in the editing room still putting final touches on the film, and it didn't seem to have the white bars. They may have scrapped it for whatever reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebeccas Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I feel like this has an interesting selling point which is a horror movie that's set almost entirely in bright daylight and with soft colorful tones. Might get a big horror audience for week 1 but then drop off a cliff with an F cinemascore though lol 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Heatnix Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Is this movie really getting a wide release? On RT it says limited. Might be a mistake from RT, though. By the way, Jordan Peele has already watched it... https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a27848701/midsommar-2019-atrociously-disturbing-holy-shit-ending/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealLyre Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 the rest of the interview https://ew.com/movies/2019/06/06/fangoria-jordan-peele-ari-aster-midsommar/ Quote Jordan Peele : This movie is just so unique. This hasn’t existed yet, and anything after Midsommar is going to have to contend with it. I mean, this usurps The Wicker Man as the most iconic pagan movie to be referenced. It plays a weird sleight of hand, where it transcends the horror of itself. It is an ascension of horror. I didn’t feel victimized; I felt like I was being put up on this pedestal and honored through the eyes of the protagonist. It’s a very unique feeling for a film to conjure because after it ended, I found myself looking back at the final act like, “Holy s‑‑‑.” That was some of the most atrociously disturbing imagery I’ve ever seen on film, and yet I experienced it with this open-mouthed, wild-eyed gape. I think that part of how we get there is never reducing the villains to any kind of snarling monsters with an evil agenda. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrisonisdead Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Critics are starting to get invites to a June 18th screening, so we'll likely start getting reactions then.

Fanboy Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I don't know if this is embargoed but we should start getting reactions in about 48 hours. Trying to keep my expectations low but I'm sure this is going to mess people up like Hereditary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
