So this is getting 3000 theaters. Maybe confidence on studio's part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thry have the right to be confident for sure. Films like The Shallows and 47 Meters Down prove that the audience is there to make this a sleeper hit even without an overabundance of marketing. I'm counting on this film to laugh in the face of the Netflix conundrum while a mid-budget film still theoretically could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm mostly worried about horror oversaturation as there are 3 horror movies still in cinemas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Paramount should have pushed this one way harder. They completely dropped the ball and now they are sitting on a 100% RT Horrormovie nobody knows is coming out. This could have been a chance for them.

Yandereprime101189 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I almost feel like they should have just moved this to Netflix since Paramount and Netflix have a deal. I feel it would have been more successful that wa.y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonytr87 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Paramount is dumb as fuck for hiding reviews and not giving this a bigger push. At least marketing on par with The Shallows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the film needs an opening above $10M to allow positive WOM and strong legs to have the chance to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdinSon2k14 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I think this film is being underestimated. It won't do The Meg numbers of course, but it will surprise the analysts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Reviews coming in fast now and still positive.

filmlover Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 This honestly should've stayed in its original late August date and been given a bigger marketing campaign. Could've at least pulled 47 Meters Down numbers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That movie was released the weekend before Labor Day weekend, as dead a release date as there is, yet pulled in a $26.4M opening weekend and legged its way to $89.2M domestic.

SLAM! Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) I was originally planning on seeing Spider-Man tomorrow, but I may just have to see this instead. Spider-Man will always be there. This looks to be a potential cult classic and might not be in theaters for very long. Edited July 12, 2019 by Slambros 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
