It's a race between this and Joy Ride to see which one is the bigger sleeper hit for R rated comedies.

I think the screening in London is over. Some reviews are starting to pop up on Letterboxd. It's kind of mixed to bad

[BoxOfficeFangrl]

FYI, there are sneak previews tomorrow in some markets (US).

 

This got tons of ads during the NBA playoffs. Can't say they made me more excited to see it...

I was perusing showtimes for today trying to decide if I wanted to see anything today when I noticed the sneak previews today.

 

As far as I can tell just 3 theaters have 1 showing today at 7 pm.

 

I'm on the fence about going as none of the 3 theaters are all that close to me and I'm more of an early bird when it comes to seeing movies.

I like to make a day of it, do some light shopping, have a good lunch then see a movie.

I take it as a good sign the studio felt confident enough to have a sneak preview a week before release. I can't see them doing that if they thought it would bomb or get a poor reception.

 

I almost went yesterday, but the time and distance to the theaters that had the preview put me off. I'll be seeing it this weekend, along with Asteroid City.

I think Sony is betting on the hope that this can be their sleeper hit like another Where Crawdads Sings. That movie was critically trashed but audience ate it up (96% RT score ; A- cinemascore). This is something I expect NHF to replicate here given raunchy comedy rarely please critics.

I really miss truly funny raunchy comedies. I saw American Pie, Scarey Movie, There's Something About Mary and Sausage Party on their opening nights with absolutely packed theaters and those were some of my fondest movie going memories and I remember laughing so hard my sides hurt.

 

I don't know if it's even possible for movies like that to get made now, studios play it too safe and too many people are too easily offended and it's killing comedy.

JLaw has so much charisma. She's a true A lister. Too bad this movie is not better

[PrinceRico]

Well at least The Blackening and Joy Ride are good. R rated Comedies this summer are not all a bust.

[martin]

They should choose a better male actor.

[Pinacolada]

The confirmed budget is $45m....

 

That's a massive facepalm for me. That's WAY too fucking expensive. 

 

Bad Teacher and Sex Tape cost $20m-$25m

 

This should cost $30m max. Unbelievable

Jlaw is the katy perry of film, such a fad

Lol, NO. She has reached A list status with her Oscars and successful BO. She's not going anywhere. She'll always get opportunities

[Marathon]

$45m budget means money loss incoming from the theatrical run (overseas gross will probably be miniscule).

[Maggie]

She'll always be in demand. She is an Oscar winner and a box office success in the past she has proven herself. As i said, she's here to stay, there'll always be roles for her. She'll go back to Oscar films

She just tried with Causeaway; her co-star got the Oscar nom instead.
