The only two reasons I can think of why they’re doing this: 

 

1. Jamie Lee pushed for it herself.

 

2. Universal want to try and boost Peacock again in time for Q4. 
 

Or

 

3. This movie sucks eggs

Besides, Ends was going to have a drop anyways due to how bad Kills was.

😂 it’s easy money though. I think it would’ve been guaranteed to increase from Kills despite the reception.

That’s just not true lol

I can’t believe we still have a studio doing a day and date release late into 2022. Does this have something to do with Beast underperforming, or is the movie just that bad? Or both?

I don’t get that. Even with a barren Fall, Kills killed a lot of enthusiasm.

thank god

[scabab]

I'll download it off Pirate Bay then I guess.

Really? Again?

Idiotic decision, just utterly stupid. Even if it’s “bad”, they’re still shaving box office off it by doing this. By all means drop it on Peacock on November 1st when it’d drop like a stone anyway, but day and date is just so dumb.

I was just thinking about how the Peacock decision makes it more likely that RLM will do a Half in the Bag on the movie.

I can't believe Pea**** is going to pull this day to day shit with this movie. Even freaking HBO max stopped doing day to day in 2022.

 

What a disaster. I guess Ends won't be the boxoffice savior, and it will be up to BP2 to resurrect theaters after 3 months of nothing.

The real reason is that it's not good

It is funny how there's always one new day-and-date Peacock movie every quarter. First Boss Baby 2, then Halloween Kills, then Marry Me, then Firestarter, then Honk for Jesus, and now this. Place your bets on what movie for the next quarter's getting this treatment. My money's on that Distant movie with Anthony Ramos they keep delaying again and again.

Did you censor the word Peacock??

 

You also seem to be forgetting Black Adam the week after this one. With this one going to Peacock, Black Adam is now the first big theatrical and PG-13 movie since... Thor 4 way back in July.

The last one sucked, but absolutely agree. If you imply it's the "end" that gets butts in seats. Unbelievably stupid choice here.

Right? They can still get subs if they drop it 2 weeks later.

I'd bet on Cocaine Bear personally. Then maybe Book Club 2?

 

The Exorcist movie in Oct '23 is supposed to be the start of another David Green-directed horror trilogy, with the next two installments set to debut exclusively on Peacock. I'd like to take bets on if the first will go day-and-date like these two Halloween movies.
