New Deadline Anthony article is out.

 

He's  spinning those BA projections like there's no tomorrow. Whatever happened to shame?

  • Heck, Black Adam looks to even beat the Fast & Furious spinoff Hobbs and Shaw in which Johnson co-starred with Jason Statham, that pic opening to $60.03M
  • There’s nothing to complain about here
  • Also working in the favor of Black Adam is that audiences aren’t entirely shrugging it a B+ 
  • Realize that Black Adam is a deeper DC universe character, and such IPs, rarely even approach a $100M opening figure.
  • Strategically from a financial planning angle, you can’t whine about the performance of this film.

In CinemaScore exits, the under 35 demo at 60% gave it a B, while the over 35 who showed up at 40% gave Black Adam an A-.

 

We know Cinemascore surveys very few people, so one under 35 person in LA giving it a D can drag down the average to B from B+. Wonder who the one person in LA is @Water Bottle :ph34r:

That TÁR expansion is relatively weak given its likely 60+% PTA drop this weekend. It’s not filling screens in its new locations. TTP will have a PTA of over $2K more despite playing in roughly 3,400 more theaters.

To be fair, it's being put in smaller theaters at many of its locations due to the openers taking up so much screen space. It was sold out at the theater where I saw Black Adam last night.

What is Terrific 2?  The movie keep growing from week to week. 

 

To expand on the other (correct) answer. Terrifier 2 is a slasher movie that caters to a particularly high level of brutal violence. Meaning it plays to both a voyeuristic/sadistic spectatorship and one of a kind of "can you handle it" survivalism.

 

Following from its own original and from other hyper violent slasher franchises into which the Terrifier popularity has coalesced... It is picking up on the demands for hyper violence that exists because such violence departed the mainstream after the Rob Zombie/Eli Roth torture porn era was shunted out/turned out not to be quite the movements they were heralded as.

 

We have seen the increased popularity in the last decade and a half of more mainstream supernatural classic horror fare (non-needing of major violence) in the Conjuring era, the sociopolitical commentary likes of Peele and the Purge (high body counts but not as much actual focus on sadistic violence) and of course the MEMBERBERRYGEDDON of the last decade (causing more conventional violent-but-not-TOO-violent slasher returns of Scream/Halloween/StephenKing and others on the horizon).  All of these have happened within horror meaning that despite increased visibility of the genre as a whole, hyper violence and sadism has been squeezed out.

 

This means that hyper violence is now back to where it kind-of belongs....in a counter culture place but with a lot of potential audience members and the eternal "must see" value of feeling more under-the-counter naughtiness than when you had Saw films topping the box office and Eli Roth's mainstream frat bro schtick.

 

Plus it kind of does the hyper-violence in a knowing way - never TOOOO much to one side of being overtly sadistic (ie the horror is played as horrific, not funny), being meta but not overly so, using the ever-popular clown motif, and yet using 'do you believe THAT?' kills as a starting point.

This diversity breakdown for Black Adam actually shocks me...

 

"In addition, there’s a great diverse turnout of audiences for Black Adam with 29% Black, 26% Hispanic, 25% Caucasian and 13% Asian. "

 

Other demo info...

 

"Black Adam drew 65% guys, 35% women, and the movie got its best grades with the latter who scored it at 83%. Men over 25 led in attendance at 39%, followed by men under 25 (26%), women over 25 (22% who graded it 84%) and women under 25 (13% at 82%). Of those polled by PostTrak, 44% came because it was a Johnson movie, 39% because it was a superhero film, while 32% said it was because it’s part of a franchise they liked, which is the DC series."

Terrifier 2 is also a huge trending topic on social media, especially tik tok, in the last couple of weeks. Which is funny because most of the demographic on those apps can't even see the film lol.

reading between the lines, this is at 3.5 stars on posttrak and high 70s % positive which places it in range of Thor 4 (3.5/77) and something like Alita Battle Angel (another film that went out of its way to give real numbers) or Eternals (3.5/78%positive/60% recommend)

 

remember "general audience" = non family audience so not the same as an overall star grade

It is amazing to me that more people went to see Black Adam b/c it was a Rock movie than b/c it was a superhero movie...and that is represented by the demos.

 

I don't know if that means WOM can actually drive some supers fans to the movie later in its run for legs (now that they know it isn't utter garbage) or if they just skip concepts they don't like now (which doesn't bode great for any future supers movie, and maybe that's why they've all, no matter the studio, dropped under initial 2 month out tracking this year)...

 

But, I can say - the Rock did his job for this movie - without him, it's a Birds of Prey OW.  So, he was worth every penny in the role...

Ya that’s what I was saying yesterday, he can obviously put people in the seats but I think in the future you just maybe try to focus a bit more on quality and maybe adjust the budget slightly so you have more room. I guess we just wait to see how this run finishes to see what this does total.
