MaxAggressor Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Overlord comps from DHD: The Julius Avery movie made $900K in previews last night which is more than Spider’s Web $635K at 2,620 sites that started at 7PM. Overlord‘s figures are on par with the Thursday previews of Annihilation ($900K, $3.9M Friday, $11.1M opening) earlier this year and the Guillermo del Toro gothic spooky pic Crimson Peak ($855K Thursday, $5.3M Friday, $13.1M opening).

filmlover Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 The Girl in the Spider's Web is going to make about 1/5th of what Fincher's Girl with the Dragon Tattoo probably. Nobody should be surprised though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 On the bright side, Spider's Web more than doubled The Snowman's preview box office (but with the girl's night out screening removed it might be closer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Duncan Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 OMFG I FORGOT ABOUT THE GIRLS NIGHT OUT SHOWINGS The Favourite isn't even out yet, and already Olivia Colman's film career is exceeding Claire Foy. That's sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakiyyah6 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Claire Foy's big coming out as a movie star is not going anywhere this year. And no I am not saying that her career is over or any such silly thing. She's a good actress and still might score a supporting actress nomination for First Flop.

All of these movies would've underperformed/flopped regardless of who was in them. The Girl in the Spider's Web in particular felt like a movie that was doomed from the get-go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 That’s really bad for Spiders Web. There’s not enough interest in these books anymore, let it lie. Even the much higher profile last one was a big financial miss. I thought Overlord would gross under $10m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Craig Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Lisbeth Sander missed her window. She is a novel star and not destined for much more than that. See also Jack Reacher and Alex Cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that she caused the films that she played in to flop. But she did play in the flops. I don't get why any promising actress would sign on to a guaranteed under performer if not flop, like Spider's Web. I just don't think that the project was ever promising.

It takes a lot for success to cross mediums in general. For example, Melissa McCarthy became a big name movie star not long after Mike & Molly premiered and that show was never more than a mid-level hit the entire time it was on even after she skyrocketed to fame and became an Emmy winner for the show (although let's be honest, that win was really for Bridesmaids). Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the same thing happening with Haley Bennett 2 years ago. That was supposed to be her big coming out year and after all the movies she was in flopped/underperformed, she hasn't done anything of significance since.

Alli Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 something unlikable about Claire Foy. Can't put my finger on it. She's not gonna happen in the mainstream imo. still, the critics/ awards seem to love her so there's that 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An actor gets a lot of attention for an upcoming year that could be a break out and things just don't work out. Foy will still get work and is in the hunt for an Oscar nomination. If she gets that nom that is more than what Bennett got during her failed break out period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the difference is that Claire Foy is actually a good actress whereas Haley just randomly ended up in a bunch of films in a short period of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
