So what are your thoughts about the box office for Pearl so far?

I thought it would do better tbh.

Pretty much what I expected. X had a better hook (and was a better film) and only made 11.7M. This will top out at 9-10M, and really is essentially an arthouse slow-burn slasher that is so loosely tied to X story-wise that you wouldn't know they're even connected unless you actually saw X.

Pearl's arthouse and slowburn? I guess we saw different movies apparently.

I guess so  I didn't dislike it, but it definitely isn't a fast-paced jump-fest for the typical Friday night horror crowd.

So they forgot to put this out in the UK so it's being released in cinemas over here in 2 Weeks. 

 

(Also another great example of how niche online piracy is over here).

this FINALLY came out this week. saw it last night. Mia Goth is AMAZING! and the film is pretty good too.

Went to see this last week too (finally) and agree, she was incredible. The film wasn’t as good as X though, IMO. 
 

Looking forward to Maxxxine. Hopefully without a 6 month delay.
