The new title sounds stupid and generic

I wasn't thrilled with the original title, but it was more interesting than the new one. I wonder why they decided to change the name...

I agree with you neshastrah. Seems like it would be a commercial decision and they think that is a better selling gimic - maybe influenced by hugh jackman's "prisoners" but I don't know why they have to be worried about that for this smaller budget film.

It's becoming rather annoying all these one word unimaginative titles for films - Gravity, Rush, Buried.

Queen of the Night was much more original and intriguing for me. Giving me more to imagine. Does it refer to his daughter being sold into the sex slave trade/ prostitution? Or maybe into the world of pornograghy?

"Queen of the Night" WAS a better title, but it too was flawed and I can see why they couldn't use it. But, since "Queen of the Night" is the title of the Mozart aria that is heard several times in the movie (for those who don't know the origin of that original title), why didn't they use one of the LYRICS from that song instead (translated into English), e.g. "The Gods Of Revenge" or "All The Bonds Of Nature"? Too late now...

I would also argue that "The Captive" (as a title) kinda gives away the main plot point, especially if you haven't seen the trailer. Therefore, almost ANY other title would have been an improvement. (Mind you, as I've already noted elsewhere, "The Captive" wasn't very good anyway; its replacement title just made a bad movie worse.)

i dont understand how the title "Queen of the Night" fits this movie

Yeah.
