Goddamnit.

With the fucking verbal beating the film is taking on every social network, I'll be shocked if the film does more than $7-8 million on Saturday. I honestly can't seeing it double it's Friday gross through Saturday and Sunday based upon the wretched word of mouth its getting.

Seriously. I've sat through a lot of shit and I haven't experienced anything as bad as The Devil Inside since at least The Master of Disguise.

And, as you can tell, I'm a moron who thinks he has a time machine.

Can we get a mod to fix that 11 to a 12?

The Vatican does not endorse this weekend's box office...

I have to say I love the thread title.

I remember when there was a box office thread that stated "Humanity is dead" because one of the 'Twilight' movies broke some record and I thought, THIS should be a real newspaper headline.

Love it.

Never even heard of The Devil Inside, but this is enough to keep me away.

CinemaScore reported The Devil Inside received an F from the audiences it polled.



Most films on CinemaScore receive a C+ or above. For a film to go for the gold and get an F, well, that's a true testament for how ill received the flick is. And despite all that, could make $25 - $30 million. God help us.

I'm still betting we get Devil Inside two

Paramount sure has one motherfucker of a marketing team. They acquired this turd for around $1m bucks, advertised on the cheap and they were in the black after the midnight showings alone.

I was considering going to see The Devil Inside until I saw all the Horrible reviews stream in.

The ads made it look genuinely scary. I'm not surprised that it made a good chunk of money before word of mouth spread. Afterward? not so much.

Girl with Dragon Tattoo should be able to get to $100 million at least .Yay. More with Any possible Oscar noms i hope. Hope War Horse is able to do the same. Wonder how these two will fare internationally as well.

Who was saying Dragon Tattoo wouldn't even reach $90 million worldwide?

For all the doom and gloom about underperforming movies around the holidays, it seems like a lot of movies are slowly creeping up in box office take.

My only question is, did Paramount have a special logo for their 100th anniversary?

Yup, Two Devils Inside and then Devil's Threesome, shudder...

Yes they do. Saw it in front of M:I-4

Damn I saw MI4...must not have noticed, but it sounds familiar now that you mention it.

I went to see "Young Adult" Friday night and there were long lines for "The Devil Inside". One would've thought it was a new Star Wars film opening that night. My friend and I were shocked.

Glad to see Tintin and War Horse bomb

I'll never understand this line of thinking.

One cool thing seeing The Devil Inside is... the first time in a movie a cool scene where a baby getting baptized, choked and drowned in a Christian Catholic Holy Water Font and inside a Roman Catholic Church by an ordained priest- WTF???

EDIT:

Oh, and the cool real time menstrual bleeding during exorcism :P

Sucks for you as Tintin was not only a very entertaining film, but also visually stunning (especially in IMAX 3D).

I already knew about the baptism scene as Paramount leaked it weeks ago, however, it plays out in the film borderline retarded (the family just allowed the priest to leave?).

The real time menstrual bleeding scene also came off borderline retarded too. I asked my wife during that scene, "Am I a horror film or a tampon commercial?" It wasn't creepy or effective, it's just there to be there (and probably secure, amongst other reasons, an R rating unlike the Paranormal Activity films that could be PG-13 if you eliminate the swearing).

ouch

$317,522,000 worldwide. I don't think they're feeling too much of a sting.

That's right, I'm sure they're kicking Steven out of his office(s) as we speak.

True, it's too bad they aren't doing better business domestically, but they are still well received films critically and internationally (war horse has yet to open) and any studio would be a fool to cut ties with Spielberg.
