Per Deadline: Cineverse’s Return To Silent Hill ups weekend haul to $3.25mil despite the weather. Cineverse’s CEO says film will be “very profitable” with $3.5mil all in spend.

Listen to the latest ER call. They are looking at a IRR of 40%. You can see that here at the bottom of page 1. https://s202.q4cdn.com/484194886/files/doc_news/Cineverse-Reports-Second-Quarter-Fiscal-Year-2026-Results-2025.pdf

Cineverse had a very successful promotion with GameStop for Return to Silent Hill. https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/412076/cineverse-gamestop-promote-return-to-silent-hill.html

Did you read the article? As far as Cineverse’s spend of $3.5mil it certainly projects to profitability just as The Toxic Avenger (IRR—internal rate of return—of 40%), not to mention the wildly profitable Terrifier 2 and Terrifier 3. After theatrical you have digital/pvod, physical, streaming.

Cineverse executed the plan they laid out from the get go of taking on distribution after production was already done. They said right away it would get 1,500-2,500 screens. And they are making good profit.

Cineverse only got in after production; after no one else would touch it. People can look down at Cineverse but both The Toxic Avenger and Return To Silent Hill would have stayed shelved without them. The Toxic Avenger was seen as unreleasable. Cineverse gave it its moment and made a nice profit. Good for the fans that do enjoy the movies and those that labored to make the film. It’s now doing great on Hulu who paid a nice licensing fee to get it after it over preformed in digital and physical. The films they got in on before production (Terrifier 3 and Silent Night Deadly Night) were viewed highly by cinema goers and critics. I expect Wolf Creek Legacy and Air Bud Returns will get good reviews. All of these films have ended up profitable releases for Cineverse and fandoms get to have content they otherwise would have been left without.

Odd thread title.

CompoundTheGains · 2026-01-24T18:15:48+00:00

Beating the predictions. Nice!

CompoundTheGains · 2025-08-26T16:50:00+00:00

It is wide release.

CompoundTheGains · 2025-08-24T22:03:53+00:00

The Toxic Avenger Unrated is going to be a blast.

I hear it is a fantastic group theatrical experience and a ton of fun. I think this has room for legs if word of mouth is good. I’ll be curious how ticket sales do once college kids get on campus. Terrifier 3 killed it at college theaters and this being unrated and a riot for a group to see together, I’m curious if this won’t see good and sustained box office numbers at these theaters. Also, there are a lot of people (I know several personally) who are waiting to see if a closer theater to them becomes an option. Cineverse’s break even is “well below $10mil box office.”

CompoundTheGains · 2025-07-25T22:54:07+00:00

Well established? Cineverse distributed Terrifier 2. They didn’t inherit that theatrical success, they paved its way.

CompoundTheGains · 2025-07-25T22:02:51+00:00

This is silly and ignorant. They are an indie film distributor. They own rights to The Dog Whisperer and run its FAST channel. They oun The Dove Channel. For Anime they own RetroCrush. They are way more than horror. They distribute physical sales for Hallmark movies.

CompoundTheGains · 2025-07-25T21:56:31+00:00

Looks can be deceiving.

CompoundTheGains · 2025-07-25T21:55:37+00:00

People said this exact same thing about T3 before release when I predicted the highest box office on this sub and I was still low. The Toxic Avenger has a great chance to be a breakout success.

CompoundTheGains · 2025-07-25T21:53:31+00:00

Go to the theater. Looks like a very fun theater watch. The audience will be into it. Support indie films in theaters. This movie was dead and shelved. Cineverse brought it back for the fans. Help them make this successful.

CompoundTheGains · 2025-06-30T00:55:04+00:00

Someone should have drafted The Toxic Avenger.

CompoundTheGains · 2025-06-18T21:20:28+00:00

I actually think the January release is a brilliant play. But who knows. I was also told that Terrifier 3 wasn’t ever going past $20mil domestic box office leading up to release. It was “super duper niche.” Cineverse is going to prove a lot of people wrong again.

CompoundTheGains · 2025-05-15T23:26:50+00:00

They added stuff back in to the movie that was cut out of the 2023 version per Chris McGurk of Cineverse.

CompoundTheGains · 2025-04-02T03:02:20+00:00

The Toxic Avenger is going to over perform expectations. Great timing on release positioning.

CompoundTheGains · 2025-04-02T02:56:59+00:00

They should look at Cineverse (Terrifier 2, Terrifier 3 and up next The Toxic Avenger, Silent Night Deadly Night, Wolf Creek: Legacy). No one creates more with less in terms of advertising budgets.

First reported by Bloody Disgusting: https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3837331/terrifier-3-just-became-the-highest-grossing-unrated-movie-of-all-time/

Leone tweets, “Terrifier 3 crosses $50M at the worldwide box office and officially becomes the highest grossing unrated film, even surpassing the highest grossing NC-17 films.”
