I saw almost nothing for Immaculate, which is bizarre as the theatre I usually go to promotes everything from Neon and the manager will push anything featuring a Euphoria actor (Anyone but You was still playing when Immaculate opened for some reason). I also saw almost nothing for Godzilla x Kong. O...

I think it's on account of nothing else being out, which would also explain the small drops on most everything else not family-friendly. I was convinced Late Night with the Devil would drop 80% after the poor response at my showing of it.

Godzilla x Kong: A-

So I guess Godzilla Minus One helped this entry instead of hurting it.

A further sign that Neon seems to having financial problems at the moment: Alamo Drafthouse is up for sale. Not sure if this means another chain will swallow them up or if a group of investors and franchise owners try to buy it up or what. As long as they don't turn into every other chain and just s...

Godzilla (silent letter) Kong is apparently pretty dreadful according to early word, as it currently has a 49 on Metacritic.

Shouldn't have killed off all of the signature Godzilla adversaries after one movie, Warner Bros.

Immaculate was not a hit, despite what the Sweeney apologists might say. Yes, $5 million is good for an independent film but there have been much better results for horror titles. In addition, the costs of promoting and putting the film into over 2,000 theatres certainly cost far more than $5 millio...

Late Night with the Devil 2/10 Another indie horror film that I can't really figure out why it's popular. Focusing on a supposedly lost episode of a fictional 1970's late night talk show, the film is largely a series of possession and Satanic cliches and faux-VHS aesthetic with an unappealing lead a...

I'd say Pig and How to Blow Up a Pipeline somewhat fit a shift in philosophy as Pig was picked up more on Nicolas Cage's involvement than possible critical acclaim while How to Blow Up a Pipeline was going for a younger crowd than the kind of titles Neon usually releases. While not horror, they are ...

The flop of the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, Bad Behaviour, finally got a US distributor in Gravitas Ventures and will open on June 14th.

It Lives Inside was one of their widest releases ever and it didn't even clear $5 million. It might also be the more uncharacteristic film of Neon's, seeming more like something Lionsgate or Vertical would have put out. And Neon is planning a big release for Longlegs, as noted by the July wide openi...

Immaculate's probably not even hitting $10 million total, between its weak word-of-mouth and opening weekend that probably dips below $5 million, especially with Late Night with the Devil surprising with far fewer shows and better general reception. Anyway, the decision by Neon to go all-in on horro...
