Smile

Bros

The Good House

TheZatch · 09-29-2022, 11:16 AM

Got my ticket for "Bros" for this afternoon at 5 pm.

rsp_clark · 09-29-2022, 12:25 PM

I'm just happy "Smile" and "Bros" are opening theatrically here in Brazil, because I love seeing new movies in a theater. Disney has canceled the theatrical releases of "Barbarian" and "See How They Run", so I was afraid Paramount and Universal would follow the lead.

Ferretferret · 09-29-2022, 05:02 PM

I'm absolutely beyond hyped for Bros. Though, I may need to wait for Sunday, depending on my schedule... All the premium screens in my local theaters are going to Avatar (seriously), so, I'd need to head out of town to get Bros on one.

Jennifer Lawrence Fan · 09-29-2022, 07:09 PM

I will see all 3 opening weekend

Veronica Mars · 09-29-2022, 08:57 PM

Smile is the only one of the three that I'm remotely interested in. Time permitting, I want to try to see Smile and Barbarian this weekend.

The Debts · 09-30-2022, 01:33 PM

Gonna see if I can see Smile this Sunday. Been hearing all sorts of good things about through the grapevine.

Bubbles-11 · 09-30-2022, 02:58 PM

i'm kinda betting that the reason why Bros may open low is because of Universal's near non-existant marketing outside of social media

Box Office: ‘Smile’ Leads Thursday Previews With $2M, ‘Bros’ Earns $500K
Paramount's horror pic could easily overperform, while the Billy Eichner-starrer is the first gay rom-com from a major Hollywood studio.

They've sure been promoting it in theaters. I think the only trailer I've seen more since June or July is maybe Don't Worry Darling. I know I've been seeing it regularly since at least June (attached to Elvis).

I'm kinda betting that the reason you think there's been near non-existent marking outside of social media is because you live in Florida.

It's been insane here in NYC. Billy has been promoting it everywhere on TV and podcasts.

I see the trailer for Bros multiple times a day on TV.

Ferretferret · 09-30-2022, 09:38 PM

Huh. I haven't seen a single mention of it outside of this forum, a single poster at the theater, and a million imdb ads. No trailers. This is despite having a fairly LGBT social circle.

I'm sure they're putting their $$ into major urban cities because they know it's a losing battle elsewhere. And then hoping that the few cishet people that go to see it and enjoy it will help grow word of mouth.

Regardless, it's coming out on disc in November so...

Joey9775 · 09-30-2022, 10:07 PM

I've seen plenty of Bros advertisements (I live in LA). But this is the first I've seen of the Good House.

This is a fairly major urban city, but, eh. Should be the perfect demographics.

I only know of The Good House cause they played the trailer once before a movie I saw.

Are you referring to Madison? If so, it's barely in the top 100. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...es_urban_areas

They probably spent their advertising budget on the top 20 and left the rest. This is a gamble. Too many idiots in this country.
