David Gordon Green's horror is opening well behind 2021's 'Halloween Kills,' which likewise debuted day-and-date on the streamer.

It made $14.8M yesterday. They are adding in the $5.4M from Thursday to get that $20.2M figure

Smile is looking to get near or finish with $100M.

Smile and Black Phone making more than Scream (2022) doesn’t look well for Scream 6.

Eh, they'll be fine. My bone to pick is why did Blackphone only get a BD release?

‘Freaky’ Director Christopher Landon Calls Out Studios For Day-And-Date Releases After ‘Halloween Ends’ Box Office Results

Quote:

Christopher Landon is resurrecting the day-and-date release topic after initial box office results for Halloween Ends have it coming in under studio estimates. The Freaky director is calling out movie studios for releasing movies in theatres and streaming services at the same time.

“Ooooooh I feel another rant coming on: Today it’s the Day & Date release strategy for Halloween Ends. Stop doing this. Please. It doesn’t work. Studios: stop gambling with filmmakers and their movies to try and prop up your fledgling streaming services,” Landon tweeted.

Halloween Ends was estimated to finish off its first weekend at $55M with Jamie Lee Curtis’ Laurie Strode potentially facing serial killer Michael Meyers one final time. However, as the box office results were reported, the film is expected to only make $43.4M in theatres.

Landon is attributing the underwhelming results to Universal releasing the movie to Peacock subscribers on the same day as theatres. The film director recalled that he faced a similar situation when Freaky was released in 2020.

“This happened to me on Freaky and it destroyed us. We worked SO HARD to make a fun movie. Blood sweat and tears. Months away from our families. And for what? They love to use the term: ‘two bites of the apple’ but that’s just another way of saying ‘we’re gonna use your movie as a Guinea pig’ for our Streaming service,” he added in a second tweet.

Landon continued, “Sorry. I begged the studio not to do this. Either circle the wagons and protect it for theatrical or just go all in on streaming. Don’t split hairs. At least the Halloween folks were made whole. We got hosed. So yeah…bitter subject. PTSD.”

He ended his rant by directing a note to the studios asking them to “stop trying to suck two d****s at the same time. Honor the sanctity of the theatrical experience.”

But hey, keep throwing stuff online for free basically. To appease a certain demographic of people.

Does he seriously think Freaky was going to make more than 9 million, no matter how it was released in 2020?

Joeker · 10-16-2022, 07:40 PM

The Freaky director is just salty he didnt get more money. You can tell cause his tweet mentions “…others were made whole. We got hosesd”. If he got more $ from the studio he wouldnt care the movie streamed or not.

no one thought happy death day was going to make it money when it first came out, but it did with a strong push and support during its theatrical run.

I like that he's speaking out about it, but what does Freaky have to do with it? Wasn't that movie theatres-only for 3 weeks?

Every movie was doing terrible in theatres during that time.

Bugg · 10-19-2022, 03:43 AM

Only $1.75M in it's first Monday. Halloween Kills did $2.7M in it's first Monday. This thing is dropping like a stone.

Jennifer Lawrence Fan · 10-20-2022, 03:10 AM

Well, that's what happens when you put something online. Gives people less reason to go see it. Or rewatch if they wanted too.

just look at Terrifier 2. It seems to be doing good for a small film in limited engagement. Cause that's the only way to see it currently. In theaters. Not online or any streaming service.

You just gotta imagine how much money studios have left on the table the last few years with this day and date crap. Its soon gotta be 2023. They keep this up. and theaters won't be around for 2024.

Its not rocket science.

Creed · 10-17-2022, 07:02 PM

Ends' actuals came in lower than estimates, with $40M.
