Malignant | September 10 2021 | A James Wan Horror Joint

[Nikostar]

Seems like the WB is just throwing this film away like they did with Reminiscence

[Krissykins]

Will WB make any money from that China streaming deal? 
 

 

Variety says tracking is $5-9m, but the tracking thread indicates about $3m.

is this a movie you need to see in theatres or would VOD have a similar effect?

I think theatrical. The film is hysterical so see it in the biggest screen possible and be prepared to have your jaw dropped. I'm thinking of seeing the film another time

I definitely won't be able to be around when the embargo drops if it actually is 1AM EST, but will have a blast catching up when I wake up.

[Blaze Heatnix]

This is one of the best worst movies I've ever seen!

 

It was never boring, never! 

 

I think audiences will hate it, unless they're horror fanatics. I was the only one in the theater that liked it. Everybody else hated it or left the theater in the third act.

[Napoleon]

I didn't like it. I was seriously enjoying and intrigued but then the movie just becomes too absurd and laughable.

[RichWS]

This has "six dollar matinee in an empty theater" written all over it.

3 reviews on RT and all of them are fresh.

James Wan is a bit overrated. His Fast movie kinda botched the Paul Walker ending, and Aquaman was far too chintzy for my taste. Surprised to see this may be a bad movie though since he's typically consistent in the horror genre.

The Paul Walker ending was the most perfect it could ever be.

That ending had my whole audience in tears.

It's not a coincidence ViewerAnon has backtracked, too.

If that is what you consider botching the Paul Walker ending, then I don't know what to say. The movie works because that ending works, if not for that ending perfectly landing, the movie wouldn't have got the favorable reviews and reception it got.

Probably doesnt make 1.5B either.

[ThomasNicole]

Indiewire gave it a 42/100

THR is also very mixed

 

But overall reviews are mostly decent, so far. Let´s see if the trend continues tomorrow when another big sites drop their reviews.

[BadOlCatSylvester]

Out now in the US! Let the chaos commence.

[lorddemaxus]

I've been pretty skeptical of vieweranon's stuff in regards to quality but that's because test screenings are a inconsistent indicator of final WoM. I don't doubt test screenings had bad reactions tho. I mean bad test screenings is clearly why WB dumped this one so hard.
