FRIDAY AFTERNOON UPDATE: Universal/Blumhouse/Morgan Creek’s The Exorcist: Believer is opening to $28M at this point in time.
shareSo with legs it can reach $200M WW
shareI see a sequel in the future
shareDoubt it as reviews are bad. Word of mouth will actually hurt this movies chances to rake in big $
shareThat stupid Taylor Swift movie is going to wipe away all the money anything can make domestically after this weekend, so hopefully it can do great worldwide. If not, the new Exorcist maze at Halloween Horror Nights will make back a lot of that $400 million they bought the rights for.
shareSo now we are blaming Taylor Swift when a horror movie cannot make money during the halloween season? The people going to see a Taylor Swift concert movie were never going to go see an exorcist film, these two types of movies could not be more different from each other.
shareWell to be fair, they should've pulled a "Barbenheimer" type of marketing combining her concert with this dumb movie and it probably would've made more than 28 Million which really, is pretty bad when you consider how much they invested in this franchise??
shareDuping Taylor Swift fans into thinking they wanted to see an Exorcist film because Swift made a 1 minute cameo would have been easy.
And I agree 28 million is good for a slasher film with no budget but this is purportedly a sequel to the biggest horror film in history.
