How?

 

TS4 = family movie. FFH = SH. Family movie holds well in the wake of SH movie opening.

 

FFH = SH. TLK = family. SH movie holds well in the wake of family movie opening.

Superhero movies aren't family films. TS4 legs will be 3.3-3.6x, while FFH will be maybe 2x its 6-day opening, which I'd approximate at roughly 2.6-2.8x a normal 3-day opening. It will drop over 50% from 2nd to 3rd weekend. 

Good answer @VenomXXR

Not a holiday or family friendly movie so it dropped hard over the holiday then recouped after they were over

 

 

Ah, thanks. makes sense. Yeah, that's a really great rebound especially given that another horror opened (tougher rating but still, genre's genre). also thanks @Davidwested

 

@VenomXXR I know that SH=/= family and that multi won't be like a family one. I'm just saying FFH won't collapse when TLK opens. That's all.

Is $170M now a definite for JW3 @cdsacken?

 

I'm pretty sure JW4 will do 100M+ on its opening wknd in May 2021.

[JohnnyGossamer]

Baumer I think critics have gotten better with horror. All of Midsommar, Child's Play and Annabelle were generally well received.

 

Years ago they were certainly more tone deaf.

Why do so many high rated horror films from critics get awful reception from the audience? A lot more frequent in that genre.

Heterogenous spectatorship. Same as all genres that appeal to affect (comedy and erotica being the others)

 

Nobody can agree on what the purpose of a horror movie is, not even horror movie fans. 

 

It seems like it's easy to say "Be scary". But Evil Dead, Friday 13th, Final Destination, Aliens, Witchfinder General, the original Dracula are all considered classics, or at least notable in the genre, without being scary to the vast majority of viewers.

 

To me, Friday 13th isn't a horror film, it has no intention of generating dramatic tension.

 

Nor is Drag Me To Hell, which to me lampshades all of its stakes in humour.

 

To someone else, those two films might be considered the hight of pure entertainment, while my favourites like Neon Demon and Session 9 might be considered slow, pretentious tosh.

 

People who view horror sadistically, relish the 'fun' of violence and prefer Friday 13th, Rob Zombie, most slashers and the Elm Street series, and people who view horror masochistically, want the excitement of feeling threat and prefer the original Halloween, TCM, Exorcist. Those spectatorships are literally 180degrees opposed and so making horror that works for everyone simply doesn't exist. Again, the same can be said to a large extent of comedy and erotica.

 

It's notable that almost all of the universally considered 'great' horror films - with a handful of exceptions - managed their universal acclaim either by aligning themselves to another genre (Silence of the Lambs and others attached to thriller, Jaws attached to the standard action film, Alien to the sci-fi genre), being directed by universally acclaimed geniuses, or were basically accidental happenstance of mood and atmosphere as much as genuine vision (TCM, Evil Dead, Wicker Man)

Horror movies more like intellectual horror movies. 

 

Midsommar, US, Get Out are very well made films before being horror movies. No cheap scares like Conjuring franchise. 

[Krissykins]

Initially thought that UK number was strange/massive for Spider-Man, then remembered it had a full 6 day opening here too.

This chart is far less EUROPEAN centric than I expected from a disney princess movie

[NoLegMan]

I saw Aquaman talk, I finally got around to seeing it and honestly, I thought it was boring. Which is pretty hard for a superhero film to do for me, the talking under water-stressed me out, and I felt like too much was crammed into it. CGI was great other than the Sand part.
