None of these clips contain that line  You get the full Chappelle monologue in one of them though!

Watch the 1954 version it's said twice there.

I suspect it's gonna be very frontloaded. Like Insidious 2.

Ehh, Insidious 2 was direct sequel. This is a prequel, but there might be just enough standalone pull for people who didn't see TC2 (assuming wom doesn't cripple it). And if this hits the high end, even a sub-2x multiplier gets it there. Hell, horror movies in general have gotten leggier as of late (even Insidious 4 had a better than usual multiplier for not well recieved horror sequels).

The trailer for A Star is Born has been attached to literally everything the past few months. WB is not playing around with this one.

Funny. I have only seen it in theaters once.

Plus, "The Nun" makes "Insidious" looks like a masterpiece. This is very frontloaded and overhyped. Even if it opens around 45-50 million $ it will still either fall short from 100 $ or be around that number, which, honestly, for the garbage this movie is, is a pure success.

Free subscription tickets should easily get it to $100M if it opens at $45-$50M.  Not that much opening this month (and lots of holdovers still left to push off screens), and it's a seasonal movie that's good for date nights and fun friend meet ups.  

 

It's the fall - you want a horror movie, and you take what you can get, especially when you pay little to nothing for it...

I really disagree, the second half of the first Insidious film had me laughing

They will have what, eight 100 millions domestic grosser in 2018 ? Probably better than most predicted. With a bunch of Game Night / 12 strong / Tags / Teen titan that worked for what they were going for.

 

Will see for Aquaman but possibly a flop free year.

Good call, no theatrical flop because they dropped it.

That Venom trailer played before The Nun and got laughed at again.

If Insidious flopped, the second half of that movie would probably be the setting bunch of direct-to-video sequels featuring "the Netherworld.

Hey folks, voting in the Most Anticipated Movies thread has been a little slow the past few weeks, probably because summer is over and there are no ultra-huge movies coming out anytime soon.

 

Feel free to head on over and vote for Halloween or Ad Astra or Godzilla or a huge pile of superhero movies. There are still a lot of decent choices coming out in the next 12 months, don't forget about stuff like Glass or Dumbo or Creed 2 or even Detective Pikachu.

I mean, all those films, "The Conjuring", "Insidious" (all parts of all franchises) are watchable at their very best. Some of them have great moments (rarely), but as someone who watched pretty much everything you can watch from horror genres and subgenres they are still pretty low on my list. That has to do both with my personal taste, and honestly the overall state of horrors today. They are simply rarely scary. Talk about slashers anything you want, but even the worst ones from 80's and 90's provided better scares.
