I mean this wasn't gonna make much to begin with. It reminds me of You're Next, another well-reviewed domestic thriller with comic undertones that was released in late August and made little.

TheDarkKnightOfSteel Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) So 17 reviews in and this has still a 100% score on RT and avg rating has risen to 7.3.Why isn’t it getting more coverage and buzz?And why Disney/Fox insisted to keep it right before It 2?Could have made wonders with better marketing and release date.

Agreed, and they’re dumping it in 2,300 cinemas. Even I hadn’t heard of it before last week 😳 Disney are incapable of marketing films like this.

Eric Quinn Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 To be honest, this seems like a film that would only appeal to a niche audience to the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolwut how is this more niche than Happy Death Day and Lights Out? Anyway, the lack of competition over the next two weeks might still help it if WOM gets out early and before Pennywise chews it out completely (unless spillovers help?)

I never said it was more niche than those movies? Some people here are comparing the film to You're Next, so I'm using that as a basis.

TheDarkKnightOfSteel Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 And this why we somehow collectively have to embrace original films ways from the franchise fare and the fireworks that come with it.Personally I am a huge sucker for comic book films myself but I have decided to support more original films at the theaters (rather discovering them at a boring night at my house ). Nolan is our one true savor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPink Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Best kind of hope for this film is if it pulls off a Don't Breathe or something. I'm interested to check it out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean, dump because they do not do some careful type of roll-out (does the material go with that), because 2,300 is a lot for FSL.

Let's face it, both The Hunt and this are pretty much just variations on the "Most Dangerous Game" plotline.

filmlover Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Horror/comedy hybrids have historically always struggled at the box office unless they are full-on comedies ala Ghostbusters or Zombieland. Not sure why anyone would've expected this to buck the trend, especially coming from a studio (Fox Searchlight, both before Disney and after Disney) that doesn't specialize in this kind of movie. Looking forward to it though! Seems like a blast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
