"It’s Halloween. We’re going to have a good time tonight"

2022 is the last time we will celebrate Halloween as it ends this year, bringing in 40mil in its debut weekend while being released simultaneous on streaming. Either people love Michael or no-one subbed to Peacock. Because according to projections from more knowledgable people, Halloween Ends should've done better (?). I don't know what they were expecting, to be frank.

Other than that, it's been a downer of a weekend, except for Terrifier 2. Apparently it's also one of the few movies that got a small release in Russia this year. But I'll leave the jokes to you.

Maverick is still clinging on in week 21. I looked up which movies stayed in the top 10 for similar lengths. Funnily enough, the original Top Gun held on 27 weekends in the top 10. Titanic & Forrest Gump held 26 weeks, Home Alone 25, and Back to the Future 24.

Headlines of the week

One of the more interesting castings the MCU has made in a while. For a plethora of reasons.

This is the beginning of the end. This plan will be a success, and they will find a way to interrupt your on-demand-streaming content right in the middle of an important scene, some day.

Martin, buddy, I just like numbers. I don't measure success or failure. I'll leave that to the people who fund your films by the millions.

Wow Amsterdam is doing so bad. Just based off the stacked cast you'd think it'd get a lot more butts in seats. I was planning to give it a go this weekend. Is the lack of a clear plot hurting this movie? Are people just tired of DOR's shit? Might just save it for a future airplane movie and go see Black Adam instead.

Deadly combo of bad reviews + no hype. The trailers were confusing and dull at the same time. No one was excited for this movie. No one even knows what it’s about.

This is one of the few times the trailer was an accurate depiction of the movie.

And by the time you figure out what it's about, you don't care and just want it to be over.

To think all these actors wanted to work with a predator so badly for the potential oscar

I went to see Amsterdam 2 days ago. Sure, it has some clear weakness like overexplaining a lot of things, confusing early and dragged end of movie, I also felt like there were way too many filler scenes which achieved nothing, but I still enjoyed that movie. Solid 6/10.

Wife and I saw it last weekend, and I was also surprised at the negative reviews. It had issues, but the reviews made it seem like it was some unwatchable piece of garbage.

That's the word of mouth I'm hearing from people who've seen it. It's not a great movie, but a lot of the hate is overblown. I'm hearing it's more average to good, then "awful".

There’s like 3-5 ensemble movies either coming or currently out. It got lost in the shuffle for me

The last Halloween movie made 50 million opening weekend and also had the simultaneous peacock release. In a vacuum, this is a pretty good weekend for Ends but it did underperform Kills so that's why some people are disappointed

Kills wasn't well received which hurts hype for this, and early reviews and word of mouth aren't doing Ends any favors because it fucking sucks.

That's not the reason.

This is a very different halloween movie and it would of fit SO much better if they did this AFTER Halloween ends.

The movie itself is either , you enjoyed the risks they took or you absolutely hated.

I personally enjoyed it , and I agree it should of been the story if the next film.

I didnt even know it was releasing until I saw it somewhere on reddit.

I still feel word of mouth plays a big role in movies and Ends was down right terrible. The movie was not even about Michael and nothing happened throughout the entire movie expect for the last 15 minutes when everything happened.

Overall it felt rushed. I hope they come back to the franchise someday.

These movies are pretty low budget and they just print money. I'd be shocked if they don't have a new one out in the next 5 or 6 years

IIRC the rights are reverting to someone else now. I think we'll see a reboot within a few years as well.

Deadline said this one cost around $30 million which isn't that cheap actually. It doesn't even look like it either

1

mikeyfreshh t1_isuh3u9 wrote

For an established franchise blockbuster, it is still relatively cheap. $30 million isn't a huge investment for a big studio like Universal and it is still a big IP franchise that is almost certainly going to pull in 100 million worldwide and draw some pretty substantial traffic to their streaming service.

When they inevitably reboot the series, they're not going to have to pay Jamie Lee Curtis so it should be a little lower budget.

What can you get from a Halloween movie without Jamie Lee Curtis that you wouldn't get from any movie about a spooky masked murderer killing random people? Like at least Friday the 13th and Elm Street are schlocky enough to have momentum for a 'franchise'.

Surprisingly b am in the minority of really liking Halloween Ends. I've seen it twice in theatres. Once in IMAX, second time in 4D

StudBoi69 t1_istsl7m wrote

I mean it might've been fine as just another entry in the Halloween franchise, but it was wholly unsatisfying as the "final" movie in the Strode vs Michael Meyers saga.

So glad Amsterdam is bombing. David O Russell should be in fucking prison.

What is Scorsese complaining about? Wolf of Wall Street was literally funded by producers stealing from the development fund of the people of Malaysia. Of course it’s all about numbers. The mastermind is personally thanked in the credits of his own movie.
