Smile, the Paramount Players movie from writer-director Parker Finn, will hit theaters on Sept. 30, Paramount said today. That’s also the weekend when Universal opens the gay romantic comedy Bros starring Billy Eichner.

 

Smile follows a doctor whose mind begins to turn on her after she witnesses a traumatic event which involves a patient.

 

Sosie Bacon, Jesse T Usher, Kal Penn, Rob Morgan, Kyle Gallner and Caitlin Stasey star. Temple Hill is producing.

I have a feeling that, if this is pure theatrical, that it could do well with young girls. 

The trailer is gimmicky enough to get a quick reaction on social media.

The RIng in Smile?

Looks fun, that last shot was cool. Kinda wish they'd saved that for the film, but wouldn't be a horror trailer if they didn't give too much away.

[Mojoguy]

This cost what... $5 million to make? It'll be fine.

 

Horror has mostly thrived even with the pandemic thanks to tiny budgets.

2021 was solid, 2022 has been terrible unfortunately. Scream is the only hit, out of numerous wide releases.
 

Hopefully The Black Phone will reverse the genres fortunes this weekend.

The poster is cool, I’ll give them that!

I stick by this. The trailer always gets a reaction from any audience I’ve seen it with, especially that last shot. 
 

Film is opening Fantastic Fest.

I know this is Erik Davis, but it's very hard to find other reactions at this point. (Seriously you do NOT want to click the Smile hashtag. Biggest mistake of my life!)

Thought it was familiar but fun 

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeh this is fun! Love it when marketing teams think outside the box, doesn’t happen often anymore. 
 

Positive reviews from the horror critics I follow. 

[Taylor]

79% on RT with 14 reviews so far.

I might lose this on theatres because it will only have dubbed showtimes in my city.

[Krissykins]

81% on RT now, I’m surprised, just assumed this wouldn’t be critic friendly. 

 

Seeing it this afternoon.
