Weekend Thread: Thursday Night Preview - The Grudge $1.8M w/ an F Cinemascore LMAO

[Valonqar]

So cheque bounced and Collider is now closing the shop but not before trying to drag former meal ticket down.

a STORY of TROS for us is like:

 

 

[redfirebird2008]

There's no Disney corruption going on. I think the Deadline/Forbes reporters are just incompetent. They get away with lousy box office analysis because their bosses have an even worse understanding of how this stuff works than the reporters themselves.

Yeah o think it’s more like they were wrong(they thought TROS would match or outgross TLJ) and they just don’t want to admit it 

[Valonqar]

Agreed. Incompetence that makes the studio looks like they have paid shills (which they don't). 

[The Horror of Lucas Films]

Deadline's reaction to TROS's underperformance was funny at the beginnig, but it's beyond pathetic now.

Yes, they'll stay in denial until it becomes incredibly obvious the film cannot reach $550+ million. But they won't admit they were wrong. They'll simply say "it will finish around $510M" and leave it at that. Pay no attention to those $620M projections by them after 10+ days of release.

Maybe they thought if they write good piece about Disney, disney will share them some profit.

So Collider is just tweeting clickbait and then deleting after a while now?  No new tweets or story, just stirring the pot lol.  Hey let’s just cancel all of our shows, and become a clickbait site focused on Deep fakes!

well, WOWS was also a hard R 3 hour epic of sex, drugs and debauchery.

Any guess about TROS crossing 1 billion?

According to Jeremy Conrad, it should have crossed it on Dec 31 2019.

Maybe CinemaScore viewers where confused and thought F meant Frightening!

And it still made 116m and held well? Opened higher than LW on XMas during a similar 5day timeframe

NOPE. We already talked about "what ruined Star Wars" for weeks now. We don't need to continue on longer. If you really think it's necessary to talk about this (it isn't by the way), go to the Fanboy Wars thread. Anybody else who continues this will get repercussions.

Wolf Creek shouldn’t be on there, IMO. 

 

out of 19 films, only The Box and The Devil Inside opened to more than $10m. The Grudge could already be in some rare company lol. 

 

Wow, who the hell had the insane idea to release Wolf Creek on Christmas? That's nuts. No wonder it got an F. 

 

I enjoyed the movie ( and its sequel ), but the release date was very wrong. I watched this one without seeing any trailers ( I rented it ), so i don't know if marketing was misleading or not. That being said, Wolf Creek is definitely not for everyone. 

 

I don't think it deserved that F CinemaScore, but I totally get why people gave it an F. 

 

On the other hand, that movie with Richard Gere totally deserved that F. I bet it was the ending that got it that score.
