Jonwo Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 2 minutes ago, PhilipJ2001 said: It is mad that one of those 3 releases didn't move up a week to this weekend though where the biggest competition would have been week 2 of A House With A Clock In Its Walls. Similar situation in December (unless something moves) with Aquaman, Mortal Engines and Spiderverse all releasing on the 14th, and only a bunch of small films on the 7th. Mortal Engines is now being released on the 8th December I wouldn't be shocked if Spider-Verse has weekend previews the week before and Aquaman moves up to 12th December. Johnny English would have done well on this weekend, I agree but I imagine Universal didn't want it to clash with Night School. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venom is also rated 15, cutting out family attendance, so that will limit the audience and likely give Johnny English the upper hand. I also imagine the reviews for Venom will be quite damaging.

The BBFC seems to give PG-13 films that are a bit gory 15, happened with The Mummy last tear. I saw House with the Clock in its Wall and I don't get how that's a 12A. It's PG at best.

It would have made more as a 12A. A comic book film being a 15 doesn’t stop it being a hit (Deadpool 1&2, and as you say, Suicide Squad, are examples of that), but cutting off a sizeable portion of your audience undeniably means that it’ll make less than it could have had it been open to families. Particularly in the case of Venom where Sony are hoping to catch the MCU audience. I’m surprised they didn’t cut it to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then on the other side, people who wouldn't see a normal superhero movie might be attracted to an "edgier" option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see ASIB until vue show it or I can pay 3x the price at the local arthouse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 It sounds similar to what happened with Cineworld and Entertainment Films where they didn't show The Hateful Eight but interesting that Vue is still trying to negotiate rather than not showing it altogether 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feasby0007 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 At cinema for Venom now, and honestly the cinema hasn't been this busy since Avengers came out.
