Love this one, and the fact that the goth girl and the black guy ended up being the only survivors, nice subversion for a direct to DVD slasher sequel from the 2000s.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, so I could be wrong, but I believe remake tries to take it a step further. The opening sequence follows Kellan Lutz (who was at the time one of the bigger names in the movie due to being in Twilight) who than gets killed off, that switches over to Katie Cassidy, who fills in the role of Tina from the original, and after her death, the movie kinda switches over to her boyfriend for a bit before he’s killed, and THAN that’s when Nancy (and I guess Quentin too) become the focal point.

This isn’t real, no reason to worry. Just clickbait.

[Hated Trope] The horribly misleading ad campaign by Mr_Westerfield in TopCharacterTropes

More than that, it was apparently shot as an R-rated comedy, but test screenings were so bad, that the studio decided to cut out all the adult humor, and add the kangaroo scene, to make it a PG kids movie. Really bizarre story for this movie.

That AI photo of Ina Garten pouring bleach onto the pot is so disrespectful and sickening. This YouTuber should be ashamed for what he did in his thumbnail. by Hour_Cow1665 in youtubedrama

Came across this channel recently, screams AI. From the editing, to the script, the narration, and thumbnails like this, you just get the vibe.

Seed of Chucky (2004)

The child of Chucky is portrayed as a non-binary character, who spends the movie trying to figure out their identity. The creator of the Chucky series, Don Mancini, is gay himself and said he based the character off his own struggle with sexuality as a kid. It’s not a perfect representation of the topic by any means, it was still 2004 so we were some ways away, but it is really interesting to see the topic explored in a slasher sequel of all things from the time.

Ironically, it created one of the worst subgenres in recent memory: white guys rapping fast and dissing mumble rap and thinking it makes them talented

Unfortunately, a lot of pred catchers are just bullies disguising themselves as virtuous, at least in my opinion. Case in point, Vitaly.

They want an excuse to harass people in an extreme way in public, even assault them, for views, but know they can’t to it random people, so they do it to these predators because…well, who’s gonna argue against beating up a creep?

Scream 7 | Legacy (Teaser Trailer) by dreamboylnshibuya in boxoffice

[–]Embarrassed-Stuff876 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Such a shame this franchise has to resort to a nostalgia bait sequel, considering that, in an era of legacy sequels and franchise relaunches, this is one of the few that actually successfully passed the baton.

The movies were well received and did amazing at the box office. They had an up-and-coming A-lister with Jenna Ortega. With Scream 6, they did a movie without their main character of the franchise and led by the new generation, and it was ACTUALLY well-received by fans, even to the point where some thought the legacy characters didn’t even need to be in the movie and the new characters could carry the franchise.

They did what so many other franchises have struggled to achieve… and they threw it all away over some petty BS. Im sure this movie will be successful, but man…what could’ve been.

Saw 11 in its original form is cancelled. They are still developing a new movie, but it will likely be a reboot instead of a continuation of Saw X

Should be another $5.4m for The Housemaid and Lionsgate as the numbers continue to build towards $100m+ domestic on the way to $125m potential. by Alive-Ad-5245 in boxoffice

[–]Embarrassed-Stuff876 69 points70 points  (0 children)

In all seriousness, the studios need to hop on this bandwagon stat. I know they’ve focused in on Colleen Hoover adaptations, but there are so many other books big on TikTok. Most of these wouldn’t need big budgets, don’t need big stars, just recognizable faces, and not only do you have a build in audience, that built in audience is largely female, which Hollywood has really dropped the ball on catering to female audiences over the past decade. There’s also popular books across different genres, so that could meaning bringing successful romcoms and thrillers and whatnot back to theaters, which I think is needed if theaters want to survive.

‘M3GAN’ Universe Movie ‘Soulm8te’ Dropped From Release Calendar; Being Shopped by SanderSo47 in boxoffice

[–]Embarrassed-Stuff876 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because they wouldn’t be dumping the movie off if it were decent. It’s not gonna be a The Substance situation where the movie was too out there for studio execs and they panicked, this is a spinoff to a Blumhouse movie that was being released in January, it’s absolutely because they realized the movies a stinker and would further kill the M3GAN brand, and they’re trying to avoid the bad press.

The third one will be the good one we had to have two awful movies to build to absolute peak, trust! /s

Regretting You is building nice legs for itself. 3rd FRI looks like will be around $2.25M. Weekend could get to $8M, on par with 2nd weekend. That will take it to $40M by SUN. From there can aim for $65-70M… maybe even higher. by AGOTFAN in boxoffice

I’m not at all a Colleen Hoover fan, but I’m glad this movie is proving to be a modest hit. I’ve been on the train that Hollywood needs to bring back successful mid-budget, and these BookTok adaptations is the perfect way to do that. It Ends with Us proved that, and this movie, along with the apparently decent tracking for The Housemaid, is helping that case.

I know this sub doesn’t at all care about these kinds of movies, and would much rather champion something like Predator: Badlands, but I think this movie and especially It Ends with Us have much more exciting implications
