It's a massive underperformance but it has a budget of only $12 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Prime Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 14 minutes ago, CJohn said: 70M back on the menu? Possible, but not certain. If it follows Civil War, you get to 72.2M. If you follow The Batman, you get 63.9M. Of course, The Batman had Spring Break boosting its weekdays, so that probably means...68M? Just gonna say that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motionpic05 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Universal is really not doing well this year. The 355, Marry Me, Ambulance and now Firestarter. I guess The Bad Guys did fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which will also be a masterpiece, a zenith in filmmaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterpepp Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Surely I'm not the only one who has noticed Uni/Focus has only done 1 day-and-date movie each quarter, no? Q3 '21 - Boss Baby 2 Q4 '21 - Halloween Kills Q1 '22 - Marry Me Q2 '22 - Firestarter Q3 '22 - Honk for Jesus, Save Your Soul Based on that logic, I'd assume everything until October is safe, but I wouldn't be surprised if they end the practice altogether instead.

ThatWaluigiDude Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 At this point, day-and-date releases are looked as the studios announcing to the world "hey, our movie will probably bomb and we have no trust in it!". Is kinda like, marketing suicide. Universal have nothing to win by following this strategy with bigger movies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
