Krissykins Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 That’s a fine start for The Nun II, $85.3m worldwide opening weekend, cost $35m. Always enjoy seeing horror on top. Will see it this week. Steep decline for Equalizer 3. But between that, The Nun and MBFGW3, it’s a solid start to September. Wish Bottoms had expanded better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scubasteve716 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 WB could put out another Annabelle movie and another nun movie and be at least really close to having 2 billion dollar horror franchises within a billion dollar horror franchise. Pretty nuts considering there’s only like 5 billion dollar horror franchises period 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Train Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 This platform release thing rarely ever works unless it's a huge breakout hit like EEAAO. 99% of the time it does no favors, as by the time the movie reaches many theaters, buzz is already dying out. MGM doing it for Bottoms is dumb. They are better off going limited for one week in a handful of theaters, then going fully wide, or going wide straight away like Talk to Me.

Bob Train Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 The Conjuring Universe has grossed $2.2b against a combined budget of $215m. No wonder they keep making them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to see it but today's the first day of NFL season.... So, you hate lesbians? Get your ass to theaters to watch it! My girlies are counting on you. ❤️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 It always boggles me that The Nun is a strong performer OS especially in Europe. A Nun III is all but locked at this point but personally they need to a Crooked Man movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 17 hours ago, filmlover said: The previous one did better than expected (it ended up doing just fine as counterprogramming released the same weekend as monstrous opener Batman v Superman) considering how wildly untimely it was. Even though diminishing returns are clearly the MO (as expected for a movie whose blockbuster success can't be compared to any other $200M+ grosser and the lengthy gaps between each sequel), the budgets being low enough have made turning a profit quite easy for these movies. Weirdly the second one was on TV yesterday and I ended up watching it, I agree with @Eric the Nun's point being the perfect background movie to do chores with and I did chuckle a few times as well.

I like Jaws 2 almost as much as I like jaws. It's a completely different story and yet it's still thrilling it has one of the best deaths in any horror movie in my opinion.

Bottoms meh expansion is a unfortunate one but it signal more of the limited appeal of the movie to wider audience, rather than failure of the platform release itself. Bros went wide right away last year but still flop at $11m. I see the lack of effectiveness of platform release lies with the fact that studio don't have the desire to properly run a platform release. To them, theatrical release for mid-small movies nowadays is more of a tool to raise a awareness for streaming or digital sales. This is a big change in direction as compared to pre-Covid when platform release was truly designed to maximize the theatrical revenue, rather than digital sales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
