LMFAO Blum didn’t waste a second.

Poor the Creator, will lose extra one-week access to PLF.

What a really dumb move. The exorcist had all the space in the next weeks to get that #1. 

Barbenheimer really didn't teach nothing? It would have been fun and something very memable.

 

The fight for the #1 would have been fun here and a lot of free social promo was coming.

Ah this is a bummer but Taylor Swift decided to put her film on Friday the 13th instead of October 6th.

 

Wonder if this move applies to the rest of the world too. As I don’t think the Taylor concert is being released here in the UK.

This movie wasn't gonna hold a candle to Tay-Tay, especially since it's almost guaranteed to get slated by critics lol

Exorswift might be the shortest lived "phenomenon" in the history of everything.

Deadline reported that the Eras event has already pre-sold $10m in tickets in 8 hours. Blum is not stupid and knew his movie would get destroyed, and with IMAX mad at him that they were stuck showing Exorcist when there was far more demand for Taylor. Every time I've seen the Believer trailer it's gotten big groans when the Exorcist connection was revealed.

So should we expect $25-35 million opening?

I’m surprised about the long range tracking being as low as $18m, this new trailer brought the house down before the Nun 2. 
 

But they do have a good point, maybe The Exorcist isn’t as much of a name as it once was.

I would say the audience for The Nun 2 is a bad demographic to how a trailer is recieved by the GA... It is going to be heavily biased in favor of any Horror movie.

Yes but the Nun 2 opened over $30m. 
 

Just have a hard time believing it’ll open in the teens. But like I said, maybe the name isn’t worth what it once was.

NRG Tracking just went up for this movie. $33m OW per Matt Belloni. 

 

 

[Claire of Themyscira]

Awe, that makes me glad to hear.

 

Never got the complaints about the way it looked. It always hit me that it looked good.

 

But, I never saw the original, hehe. So, maybe, I have that lack of bias. But, the groans and such? Y'all crazy, omg...

 

Is the reception really that bad? Are y'all really that uninterested?

Lots of tweets about people being scared of the adverts lol. 
 

$30m+ seems much more reasonable. Embargo lifts the 5th of October. 

[Krissykins]

The long range forecast has increased for two weeks in a row now too.

 

$21-31m opening and $48m-79m total are the current ranges on box office pro now. 

[Krissykins]

Rated a 15 here in the UK, 1hr51mins. 

 

“strong horror, violence, injury detail, very strong language”
