Lory88 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago I feel sorry for The Substance that does the bare minimum. Even the first numbers from Europe are not encouraging. It's a hard sell, body horror is not trendy and nobody knows Coralie Fargeat (yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least to provide some positivity since it's sandwiched between what's looking to be two major underperformers. It’s easily going past 30 mil OW and 100 mil total Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of DW, the movie has been holding so well is a genuine surprise to me. Just like IO2, their legs are the more surprising one compared to their already mega-sized OW. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IO 2, Twisters, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice , DP and W to most people even if some people around here hate it, Dune Part 2. But sure do your mainstream Hollywood movies all suck thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan B was also producer on Charlie & the Chocolate Factory nearly 20 years ago so it was likely a favor to Burton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it would have been better to start with 400/500 and get a good average per theater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago I didn't see any marketing for The Substance until I got the trailer before Speak No Evil last weekend, so it's doing fine all things considered. Speaking of which, if not for the Friday the 13th gimmick last weekend, that would be looking at a sub-40% second weekend drop. Solid hold, $30M+ total is happening.

It's a hard sell, body horror is not trendy and nobody knows Coralie Fargeat (yet). Scary horror is what sells. "You're gonna be scared" is how to get people to the theatre. Gross horror is an audience repellent. On top of that, Deadline is right that the marketing choices didn't help sell it: I also hear Fargeat was very particular about the movie’s marketing campaign and had a big say. You’ll notice that Moore’s face isn’t splashed widely around in one sheets and in billboards with esoteric symbols from the film: eggs, chicken, a leotard and Moore’s stitched back. This doesn’t help sell the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lory88 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago (edited) Audiences like it (Cinemascore B ) maybe MUBI should have trusted word of mouth. Will it be quickly dismantled now? Edited 14 hours ago by Lory88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emoviefan Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will win true Fri-Sun considering it won True Friday by 400,000 or so. That 3.3 in total previews should give TF One the "weekend". Both movies should benefit from Sat matinee's from the family audiences.

Maggie Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Well, everybody seems convinced Wolfs would have flopped, so better they sent it to streaming. It saved everyone some embarrassing numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a good estimation of TFone’s Friday numbers early on yesterday. Do we have those for the Saturday yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
