Don't Let Go | BH Tilt | August 30th, 2019 | starring David Oyelowo and Storm Reid | MURDER PREVENTION THRILLER

[SLAM!]

 

From director Jacob Aaron Estes (Mean Creek, The Details) comes a thriller about an uncle coping with the murder of his brother's family when, all of a sudden, he gets a phone call from his niece and discovers that she's calling from two weeks in the past when the murder hasn't happened yet.

 

Don't Let Go had previously debuted at the Sundance Film Festival to mixed reviews.

 

The film releases on August 30th, 2019, directly competing against PLAYMOBIL: The Movie.

This has to be the closest release of a trailer to a movie's release date I've ever seen.

Thanks for posting this @Slambros. I saw it on BOM's release schedule and was wondering about it. Just never got around to looking it up.

No problem! I enjoy making threads for smaller movies.

is this a wide release?

We actually got that trailer a few days ago in front of a midweek showing of Annabelle Comes Home. No clue how long it's been playing in theaters, but it has been there.

 

Turned to me friend afterwards and we agreed that we might watch that one.

According to BOM, yes, but that can always change. For instance, Brian Banks went from being a wide release, to a limited release, and is now a wide release again, per BOM.

I love movies that play with time travel and just watched the trailer, looks pretty cool.  Unfortunately this looks like the type of movie that does 10-20m at best.

So it's Frequency just with the phone instead of a HAM radio

Anyone else intrigued by this? I doubt I'll get to see it as it likely won't be playing where I live but it looks good to me. Looking forward to seeing what people think of it.

I agree that the trailer looks good. I expected it to be way worse after the mixed reviews. 
The plot is not new but interesting and the actors are convincing me. 
Maybe the very low predictions  - I saw one prediction which was 4.5M over 4 days and boxofficepro doesn't see it entering the top 10 this weekend - are too low?

So many quite good or even very good looking horror films released in so few weeks...

Edit: I see now why the predictions are so low, it only gets 900 theaters (so far) according to BOM .

Not really. There's been zero promo for this. It's gonna play to mostly empty auditoriums.

As I suspected, this isn't coming to my theatre. Ah well, will have to catch it on Netflix.

Looks like this didn't make it into the top 12 this weekend. The estimate is about $2.44M in 922 theatres, good for 14th on the chart. Not news I guess. Typical Labor Day weekend.
