Awwwwwww....
The shitlib media missed out on a huge story opportunity here about Snow White's big comeback!
Did you check the weekend numbers out?
It had a 54% increase over last weekend! That's way bigger than Sinner's second week gain!
Yeah... It only grossed $335k for the weekend, but who's counting.

The Final Destination movie will make money but it cost WAY too much to make at $50 Million, which is what I'm seeing it cost online right now (no official numbers from Bruce).
Bruce does say this in his article:
Quote:
The popular franchise has acquired well over $263 million from domestic box office and nearly $658 million from global viewings from five previous installments dating back to 2000.
It took you 5 movies to make $263 Million in the US and $658 Million worldwide.
Granted, the 4th one appears to have been straight to DVD and the last one came out in 2011, so there's a lot of inflation to calculate in. But without calculating for inflation you just spent more than the average US box office for these movies to make this one.
TITLE / US BOX OFFICE / WORLDWIDE BOX OFFICE
Final Destination / $53,302,314 / $112,036,870
Final Destination 2 / $46,896,664 / $90,396,664
Final Destination 3 / $54,098,051 / $112,798,051
Final Destination 5 / $42,587,643 / $155,011,165
Also, without inflation factored in, only one movie on that list would have made enough money to break even with a $50 Million budget.
With everyone in desperate need to bring their budgets WAY down, horror movies should not be making it a trend to race toward $100 Million production budgets. This is the second horror movie in a month now that we've seen with at least a $50 Million budget. Sinners cost $90 Million.
They'll both make money, though FD will come nowhere near as successful as Sinners was with their budget.
Most horror movies with budgets like these are going to fail.

Movie Review: A24’s ‘Legend of Ochi’ breaks ground, but narrative lacks strength

While the baby Ochi is something of a Grogu-Gizmo hybrid, the use of puppetry and animatronics gives it an idiosyncratic scruffiness. It feels as if you’re encountering a new species, not watching a digitized fantasy film.

A 6.5 minute standing ovation from the piss drinkers and fart smellers in Hollywood must mean this is just completely unwatchable and possibly even toxic for human beings.

Made it's production budget back from the US Box office alone on opening weekend.
Easily makes money, but we already knew that it was going to despite the high budget.
Although, it wasn't a Bloomhouse or A24 joint and this may have gotten some real heavy marketing compared to what they would have gotten. Still have to give this one the 2.5x treatment because it's WB.
$125 Million to break even.
Internationally it did just a little better so we're already at $105 Million worldwide. Easy peasy.
Still though. $50 Million is a big gamble on a horror flick in 2025. I'm glad it worked out for them this time, but it might not next time.
Anybody remember 2023's The Last Voyage of the Demeter? No?

ummary
$45 Million budget in 2023 adjusted for inflation at $47,376,700 today.
Grossed $13.6 Million in the US and bowed out with a worldwide total of $20.4 Million, with a little over $2 Million in DVD/BluRay sales since then.
Glad to see physical media making a small comeback, btw...
Demeter's budget was nearly $3 Million less than Final Destination Bloodlines', but it lost Universal somewhere in the area of $100 Million and ended up one of their rare flops in an otherwise stellar year.
Though the loss here was probably quite a bit less than that because I think Universal knew they had a big flop on their hands and didn't put any marketing budget into Demeter.
... Plus, when a movie makes that little, it ends up being the movie theaters themselves that end up eating a lot of that pain too. They'd be splitting that $20 Million roughly 50/50, so if Universal didn't dump any money into marketing, their actual losses on this were probably only around $30 Million. And with how much money Universal raked in during 2023 while just destroying everyone else that year, that $30 Million loss probably ended up becoming a wash somewhere with tax write-offs or whatever tricks their accountant teams use to maximize profits.
