John Marston Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 The Nun somehow made 365 million worldwide which is more than any of the main Conjuring films and only fifteen million less than Indiana Jones 5 this year, yet even people I know who have seen it called it awful and maybe even one of the worst horror films they have seen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 hmm, probably would have been a good idea to get Fast Five on Netflix when Fast X was coming out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issac Newton Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Nun Comscore/Screen Engine’s PostTrak exits have the sequel at 64% positive, and a 47% recommend. Slightly female heavey at 52% for the R-rated movie, with 67% of the audience between 18-34 and the biggest demo being 18-24 at 38%. Diversity demos show Latino and Hispanic moviegoers leading at 43%, 26% Caucasian, 12% Black and 18% Asian/other. The Nun 2 played strong everywhere, I’m told, but the best in the South Central and West. PLF and Imax auditorium bookings are driving close to 40% of the weekend’s gross to date. As of EOD Friday, Adam Aron’s AMC Burbank is the highest grossing cinema in the nation for the sequel at $54K. The Nun 2 gets a C+, which is a tad better than the C the original movie received. It’s also an average trade for a horror film. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issac Newton Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 B on CinemaScore which is a downgrade from the previous pic’s A-. PostTrak audiences were harder on the threequel at 73% positive and a 55% recommend. Women came out at 72% with the largest demo being the over 55 bunch at 24%. Diversity demos showed 53% Caucasian, 28% Latino and Hispanic, 5% Black and 14% Asian/other. Greek Wedding 3 played strongest in the East, South and Midwest with The AMC Grove being the best cinema so far in the nation at $10K-plus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Prime Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Was expecting a mid-20s opening with that Nun preview. So to be honest, getting into the 30s for a movie in A. A declining franchise B. A mediocre sequel to a doo-do movie That seems pretty darn solid if you ask me. Good for that movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Pretty solid for both The Nun and My Big Fat Greek Wedding given that both are latest installments in diminishing returns franchises and likely were budgeted reasonably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxOfficeFangrl Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 4 hours ago, CoolioD1 said: It was really a fad. not many people remember but they did a TV show sitcom follow up with almost the whole main cast of the movie only one year later in 2003 and it got cancelled after 7 episodes. "Almost the whole main cast" except for John Corbett, kind of a big deal to replace the husband in a story that was centered around a couple getting married. I think pumping out 2-3 more movies in the 2000s would have been a better way for the franchise to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decent portion of that older adult core audience lost maybe permanently to streaming. The ones that wanted to see it in a theater saw it during the 4 day holiday weekend . It's still going to make 75-90 comfortably which is right in Denzel's zone. He's only had 6 movies do 100 million domestically. The Pelican Brief, Remember the Titans, American Gangster, Safe House and the first two equalizers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shang-Chi had 98% Audience on Rotten Tomatoes and literally nothing out on its second weekend and it still dropped 54%. The weekend dropping right when schools go back in session is not ideal when it comes to legs. Of course like Shang-Chi, it can still recover, even if it misses 100M, and it's still going to be profitable for Sony and Fuqua. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sitcom failed because it was terrible, not because the movie wasn't that popular or was a fad. Almost 23 million people turned in to the first episode, so there was definite interest. Only 3/4 came back for episode 2, and it kept sinking from there. It was a lot broader and more obviously sitcommy; I didn't like the movie that much, but it and its characters had enough charm I could see why others might. Dropping most of the same actors into a multicam setup and making them mug for the standard setup-punchline rhythm of a sitcom was just grating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krissykins Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 16 hours ago, baumer said: Wasn't anything close to a fluke. It had some of the strongest word of mouth you could possibly imagine for a movie. It opened in something like 60 theaters and people just kept talking and talking and talking about it. One of the strongest things about it was that a lot of married people in North America could relate to it. In my personal experience, I was married to a Portuguese woman and so a lot of the scenarios in the movie I could relate to. Believe me it was anything but a fluke Maybe fluke was the wrong word, a phenomenon that couldn’t be recaptured. But someone has over estimated the appeal, with a cancelled TV series and two sequels with gigantic drops from the first film. Similar to The Blair Witch Project. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sequel in 2006 could have made 159m instead of the 59m it did in 2016. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
