cheesypoofs Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 The Barbie and Oppenheimer weekend was referred to as Barbenheimer. (I saw NF in concert that weekend. I just had to throw that in because I'm a huge NF fan and always try to spread his name to people who may not know him 😂). I feel like it was a huge missed opportunity to not market this weekend as "Saw Patrol" 🤣 I also think Jason Blum should have had to balls to keep Exorcist opening weekend on October Friday the 13th. And that weekend could have been billed as "The Taylorcist" 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that weekend could have been billed as "The Taylorcist" 🤣 "Saw Patrol" can't work though. The issue is that the amount of people who can think of doing a double feature of Saw X and Paw Patrol are very few. Obviously families aren't going to be watching Saw, and hardcore horror fans who watch torture porn are likely not the target audience for Paw Patrol. Barbie and Oppenheimer was perfect in that both were by auteurs in their own right and despite the aesthetics being miles apart the same people could actually double feature the movies. The memes for Barbenheimer also included stuff like Barbie and Oppenheimer hanging out together and things like that on the same posters. For "Saw Patrol", you are asking people to imagine puppies in a bear trap pretty much. It's not that compatible to make it a meme double feature. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When corporations begin a meme or try to make a trend happen, it reeks of desperation and nobody participates anymore. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanic2187 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Too bad Taylor swift is above 25 years old, if not she and Leo can go on a date romantically now. For sure #TayLeo will explode on internet and creating another Barbieheimer phenomenon for both Eras and Killer of Flowermoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally you'd be right but I don't even think they killed it, it was never alive to begin with, there's no way these two audiences could possibly mix lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 You can't force a double feature meme, it has to happen naturally and with somewhat compatible titles. That's why you won't see Hunger Trolls or Wishpoleon becoming a thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big animation fan and try to catch most of them in theaters, and I always feel kind of awkward being the loner adult in an auditorium full of kids. But at least with most Pixar or Illumination movies, they are designed to be all ages things. I can't imagine all the stares I'd get being in my 20s and seeing a movie aimed only at 3 year olds. Nobody would want to do this social suicide for an Internet meme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatree Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Ooh, I just went to look at showtimes for Creator this evening and seen that The Exorcist is on. I've never seen it. Does it live up to the hype of the greatest horror film of all time? Or is it dated now that its 50 years old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
