RAMROD 111,267 Posted October 17, 2024 Share Posted October 17, 2024 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 how bad do you want it for real?

TimotheeChalamet 6,164 Posted October 17, 2024 Share Posted October 17, 2024 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
