I don't even think The Strangers opens to $5 million. Prey at Night, greenlighted on the first film's cult following, made less than $25 million total in the US and that was a direct prequel to the original. Also, Renny Harlin hasn't directed a hit in this century (unless you count Skiptrace's succe...

Force of Nature: The Dry 2 7/10 Serviceable sequel to the 2021 thriller where Eric Bana is now sent to the forest to find an informant in an embezzlement case who has gone missing during a hiking retreat and finds that this might not be your typical missing persons case. Along the way, our detective...

After the results of Boy Kills World, I'd be surprised if The Crow even hit $20 million total. Skarsgard isn't a box office draw, the character has been tainted by various terrible film sequels, and the trailer makes it look like another John Wick ripoff. August is going to be awful for Lionsgate.

Based on the trailer, I think Blink Twice will be a rare flop for Tatum. It looks like every other ensemble dark comedy in the past decade and if Tatum wasn't in it, it would be one of those instantly forgotten indie comedies that puts quirk ahead of substance. Also, does every comedy now have to fe...

I haven't seen a thing for The Strangers: Chapter 1. I've seen more things for Sight, which opens a week later, and that one probably won't even hit $10 million. And I really don't get why they made a Beetlejuice sequel now. It feels like the only audience is people who grew up with the first film a...

Roger Corman has passed away at 98.

Omen 3/10 A really boring film that doesn't seem to have much of a point outside of telling us people don't want to change. A Belgian couple visits the boyfriend's birth home in the Democratic Republic of the Congo for a funeral and he gets branded a demon due to his high blood pressure. Meanwhile, ...

I got Mufasa and Alien on my showing, along with Twisters, Bad Boys, and Blink Twice.

Interesting that Disney decided against making the third installment. Tom Rothman must have taken the project with him when he left Fox or something.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' Cinemascore was a B, exactly what I expected.

I remember the production problems and poor test screenings Gravity had, leading to it getting delayed a full year. It ended up making millions and winning a boatload of Oscars.

Everyone will have forgotten the story by November. A lot of these same people think Chris Kyle and Tim Ballard are heroes and not the liars and assholes they really are.

The audience response at my showing on Thursday was rather muted. I'm expecting a Cinemascore in the B range, below the three previous films' A- scores.

I was convinced the PG-13 rating would kill Five Nights at Freddy's. But then I found out the game had a fanbase under 18.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes 5/10 Disappointing fourth installment of the prequel series that suffers from the change in creative talent, going from Matt Reeves and the writing team of Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver to the director of the Maze Runner series and the showrunner of the Snowpiercer TV ...
