Perhaps BOT at large should've predicted The Meg to be the movie to carry August instead of Christopher Robin heh.

BOTs next blunder will be Christmas, they're going to get it back to front.

Slender man made 11m huh? What's the last horror movie that lost money? Seems hard to fail with this genre, at least in recent years.

Crimson Peak was a money-loser but obviously that was much more expensive than the average horror movie is these days.

All those were wide releases?

You do not need to get a wide release to be able to fail, failing at getting wide is often has bad has a failure that you can achieve.

 

Achieving wide release is quite rare for the genre, most horror movie loose money without ever being seen by a regular paid customer in a theater. You get only a wide release usually if you have been selected among hundreds others has the one marketing/trailer work the best, even Blumhouse title sometime goes direct to video or are scratched, making their track record appear from the exterior to be much better than it is in reality.

Those who reached a wide release (above 600) and had an hard time doubling their budget or making above 5m with a small one.

Wish Upon

Jeeper Creepers 3 (but that was a special case I think of a 2 weeks only special release)

It Come at night

Belko Experiment

Disappointment room

Green Room

--------

 

That a really quick look, probably missing some.

 

 

 

Slender Man is rumored to have cost 30m before P&A, it is one that will possibly fail.

How the hell does Slender Man have a 30 million budget before P&A?

 

Even the promotion was minimal for this movie. Movie simply came and went away. Not even CinemaScore did care about putting the D- report on their twitter.

 

Did Joey King get a 20 million paycheck or anything like that?
