Neo

Crimson Peak (10.16.2015) Trailer Page 29

Recommended Posts











Finally back on the Forums after nearly 2 days off! Feels like too long.

Anyways just saw this. Not great (feels like I just woke up from some bizarre dream) but visually it looked good and there were a few real scares and a sense of dread. Not exactly what marketing promised, and it going to have meh WOM regardless.

Hearing multiple accounts, yes, second/third hand, but of people "walking out" in both America and England...interesting (see my thoughts above).

 

Why is it interesting? Pretty much everyone on this forum was expecting mixed / negative WOM primarily because of misleading marketing.

":Bait and Switch" advertising never works in the long run.

IMHO they should have actually sold the film as a Gothic Thriller, targeting Gothic Thrillers prime women's audience,and  hope that Del Toro's cred with the horror buffs would being a fair number of them along.  But then Legnedary seems to have marketing prolbems with the female audience....they totally blew the angle of a strong female character in the marketing for "Pacific Rim".

So what does this mean for Del Toro's career?

Over or will be really struggling...no Pacific Rim 2 or Hellboy 3

He keeps being given big budgets and underperforming financially, I'm sure he will get more. Hellboy 3 was never gonna happen and PR2 is in the far distance.

 

How's it doing at your theatre? It's absolutely bombing over here: Pan (which is a big bomb as well) is doing better in its second week than this is doing right now.

It's not doing great, it's doing as well as any other romance movie does, better actually. The problem is that the film has a $55M budget.  :lol:
