So “Halloween Ends” opened this weekend. On a budget of $20 million, it has made an estimated $41.25 million domestically in the opening weekend, pushing itself to profitability in a handful of days.
The low budget – $17 million – horror movie “Smile” has, in just a bit over two weeks, made $71.2 million, making it a rampaging success.
That’s nice. How is this newsworthy? Compare that performance to “The Woman King.” On a budget of $50 million, after a month it has made $59.7 million domestically. D’oh.
It seems the strategies of glorifying the actual villains while accusing the potential customers of being bad people didn’t work so great.
Snerk.
One of these days Hollywood types *might* figure out that hating the audience is not a good plan. In the mean time… keep hemorrhaging dollars, dorks.
