Thursday Night Previews: Gretel Gets off to a Faster Start than Rhythm
January 31, 2020
Gretel and Hansel got off to a faster start than The Rhythm Section did during Thursday previews. This isn’t surprising, as horror movies tend to be more front-loaded than nearly all other genres. The movie managed $475,000, which his a little more than the $425,000 The Turning earned during its previews. Furthermore, its reviews are flirting with the overall positive level, so its legs could be decent, all things considered. That said, even optimistic projections from this point have it barely beating our prediction with between $7 million and $8 million. This is a good start for a film that reportedly cost just $5 million to make.
On the other hand, The Rhythm Section is struggling a lot more with just $235,000 in previews. Its reviews are not going to help its box office chances going forward. I fear missing the Mendoza Line is inevitable at this point, a fate made so much worse due to its $50 million production budget.
