RAMROD 104,076 Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 There’s really one true one wide release this weekend and it’s Paramount‘s sequel Smile 2, which currently sees presales pointing toward a high-teens-millions opening. Tracking earlier this week indicated higher, in the $20 million-plus range, but that all depends on whether Latino and Hispanic moviegoers send this $28M-priced sequel to the 2022 original to another stratosphere. The original movie is the stuff of post-Covid legends, an example of how a Hollywood major studio with a streaming service shifted a film away from a home release to a mega theatrical release after testing; Smile debuted to $22.6M at the box office and legged out to $105.9M domestic and $217.4M worldwide. Some studios couldn’t do that — re Disney with Hocus Pocus 2, which was confined to its Disney+ release despite great test scores. The first movie was 80% certified fresh with critics on Rotten Tomatoes and earned a B- CinemaScore. Smile 2 is currently 86% fresh off 36 reviews. Smile 2 will have the PLFs as part of its 3,500-theater count this weekend. Where are the Imax screens? Why they’re part of a three-week deal on Warner Bros’ bomb Joker: Folie a Deux. https://deadline.com/2024/10/smile-2-box-office-1236117666/ (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ 𝘞𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 17 (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimotheeChalamet 4,643 Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 It's a bad sequel and not worthy of IMAX in my opinion. Just an overlong series of jumpscares with a messy screenplay and nothing particularly striking besides a lot of gore 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
