movies!movies! Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) https://variety.com/2019/film/news/you-elizabeth-lail-countdown-1203164279/ Quote “You” star Elizabeth Lail will lead STX Films’ upcoming horror pic “Countdown.” The movie follows a young nurse who downloads an app that claims to predict exactly when a person is going to die. When it tells her she only has three days to live, she must find a way to save her life before time runs out, all while a mysterious figure haunts her. “Elizabeth Lail is an exciting young actress whose breakout performance in the wildly popular psychological thriller ‘You’ was a breath of fresh air,” STXfilms chairman Adam Fogelson said. “‘Countdown’ is a wholly original, scary, and fun script, and we’re thrilled to have found the perfect lead to bring this story to life for audiences around the world.” The script was written by Justin Dec, who will also serve as the film’s director. Sean Anders, John Morris, John Rickard, and Zack Schiller are producing, with STXfilms’ Drew Simon and Catherine Hagedorn overseeing the production on behalf of the studio. STX International is handling international distribution, and distributing directly in the U.K. and Ireland. Edited May 10, 2019 by movies!movies!

Eric Duncan Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I actually got the trailer in front of IT: Chapter Two, and it looked pretty bad. Probably the funniest thing was the beginning of the trailer showcasing a bunch of random apps and their made-up version of Tinder, because they didn't have the rights, was called "Swipe Right." I rolled my eyes when that popped up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB33 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Death? There's an app for that. Haha Haha I love it! So, so cheezy! This is such a final weekend in October movie, that's for sure. Under $5M? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the runaway success of Hustlers do you think STX can keep the ball rolling with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Cute poster. And it's been awhile since I've seen an "audience reactions" trailer, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the last traditional horror film released with wide distribution was 47 Meters Down: Uncaged, and that came out more than two months ago. So it makes sense that horror fans would be itching to see any new horror film--though why they wouldn't simply wait for Doctor Sleep or The Lighthouse is beyond me. But I've frequently seen advertisements for this on YouTube where they've recorded a theater full of people reacting to the jumpscares in the movie. This is a trick used before in films like the Evil Dead 2013 remake. It's an effective tool even if the film doesn't fully deserve that type of marketing. We'll have to see. I think it'll be a minor success. Probably gross $30M-$40M total. Edited October 23, 2019 by SLAM! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxOfficeFangrl Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) 28% on Rotten Tomatoes with 18 reviews. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/countdown_2019 The Countdown app icon looks suspiciously like the Dodge Ram logo... I don’t think I've ever seen a Screen Junkies/Fandom Entertainment review less than four minutes long. Dan was not here for it! LOL, at least a minute of this is an ad and Jeremy encouraging people to talk about Joker some more. Countdown seems like you could have some fun with it in the right mood, but it's not as dumb as something like The Bye Bye Man.

Speaking of Bye Bye Man, at least that one had an unexpectedly decent OW. This, however, seems DOA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OdinSon2k14 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) Is the movie gonna scare you? No. But the producers have a talent for memorable supporting characters that steal the show 😂. I would suggest seeing this for the cellphone shop clerk (😂), priest, and doctor 😂. Reminds me of the first Happy Death Day, in that it was more memorable for the comedy than the actual horror.

It's like, the movie looks so bad as a "horror" that I'll take any other element that shines haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
