I’m a jaded horror buff and this film destructed parts of me in the best way possible. It’s really good.
do you understand what happened to obsession..
a 26 year old former youtuber made a horror movie for $750k. it opened to $17.2m on may 15. then something happened that hollywood analysts called "really unheard of"
second weekend grew 30%. Every single horror movie front loads, every movie loses 50-70% in week 2, and this one went up.
- best sophomore weekend for a horror movie ever recorded, beating the record heart eyes set last year
- on pace to cross $80m worldwide in just 10 days, already 100x its budget
- a24 handed curry barker the entire texas chainsaw franchise with extraordinary creative control before the film opened wide
- blumhouse already shot his follow up with aaron paul and bryce dallas howard
it cost less than the catering budget for the mandalorian and grogu
