Lory88 Posted Saturday at 03:47 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:47 PM 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). 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 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 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 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. 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted Saturday at 03:58 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:58 PM 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.

"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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lory88 Posted Saturday at 04:05 PM Share Posted Saturday at 04:05 PM (edited) Audiences like it (Cinemascore B ) maybe MUBI should have trusted word of mouth. Will it be quickly dismantled now? Edited Saturday at 04:06 PM by Lory88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emoviefan Posted Saturday at 04:11 PM Share Posted Saturday at 04:11 PM 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie Posted Saturday at 04:20 PM Share Posted Saturday at 04:20 PM Well, everybody seems convinced Wolfs would have flopped, so better they sent it to streaming. It saved everyone some embarrassing numbers. 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
