Both misses for me cause his first film there was zero suspense due to them marketing it with every major pilot point reveled to cash in on social movement at the time.  All for the cause of the movement but when I can the exact frame bloused come out a guys nose, his GF is killing him etc.  Probaly the maddest i have ever been leaving a theater because I knew I was robbed of what could of been one of the better suspense in recent memory cause some marketing people needed to spoil it to exploit the racial tension for some sales.  

Uhh I don't remember spoilers being part of the marketing at all

I'm really looking forward to this still but honestly, less than a week away from release, the smell of underperformance is definitely in the air given how quiet the buzz surrounding it is. We'll see what the reviews are like.

All the signs are indicating some troubles and doubt are happening behind the scenes.

I don't think it's lacking marketing, it's lacking momentum. 

 

Universal is doing a huge anti-spoilers tactic for this, which who knows if it will help the experience while watching, but it's definitely hurting marketing. 

 

There's nothing to talk about, nothing really new about it, the whole promotion keeps going in circles. 

 

I think it's kinda sad tbh that these days is nearly impossible to sell a movie without giving too much, but to me that's the main issue here. 

 

If it gets good reviews maybe it can rebound on the final week, if ended up mixed then yeah, flop incoming.

Peele the next M Knight

What time are the reactions tomorrow. Hoping reviews are on par with The Black Phone and Candyman  based on what I am hearing.

I feel the exact same way. Look the marketing could be a great distraction from a huge reveal. But at this point, I feel like I am being toyed with. The marketing is way too vague, and the whole things looks confusing as well. Again, that could work if there is a lot of meat on the bone with the actual story. I just get this feeling the whole thing is gonna underwhelm across the board: critically, audience reaction, and box office.

My floppage sense is tingling.

 

Late marketing is going to doom this like it did Thor 4.

[Lestranger]

just FYI

I know it essentially means nothing, but Nope is starting out with an 80/100 on Critics Choice.

Social media embargo ends in 90 minutes or so.

Mike Ryan really liked it, for whatever that's worth.

Who is that?

I've look VERY briefly but first bunch of reactions looking real good 

 

If nobody posts them, later i'll do a compilation when we have a good amount.

Feel like "spectacle" and "epic" (as a noun) are some of the most common words being used in reactions. People reacting to it are putting more emphasis on it being "intense" and "thrilling" than being outwardly scary, though seems like it has its fair share of straight horror. A lot of mentions of it being layered, heady, even confusing. Might disappoint people looking for pure horror but when isn't that the case?

 

I'm excited!

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

First batch doesn’t include a lot of out and out critics (esp the big ones) but def seems the late embargo was more about spoilers than any concern about quality. If it’s as good as these folks are saying it is it will have no problem making money.
