Alex Call was replying to another user commenting how the game had the Sydney Sweeney ad, an ED ad with Megan Fox and the creepy Other Mommy trailer.

Okay but seriously fuck that other mommy bullshit shit needs to bomb and stop having ads so that I don't have to watch everything on a time delay to make sure I can avoid it. For some reason that particular one really fucks with the kids and I like being able to sleep through the night

It's getting absolutely terrible reviews so hopefully we're done seeing the ads.

And it was still first place at the box office

Gotta go see it to know it's bad...also looking at the box office I don't even really know these other movies. Verity, Heart of the Beast, Social Reckoning? I know Resident Evil but didn't know they had a new movie. Did any of those do any marketing?

Verity, Heart of the Beast, Social Reckoning? I know Resident Evil but didn't know they had a new movie. Did any of those do any marketing?

Verity is basically an arthouse erotic thriller that got a wide release because of who was involved in making it—it's already earned 3x its budget.

Hear of the Beast is a Brad Pitt vehicle about a retired special forces veteran that is in a plane crash with his dog, and they have to hike to civilization together.

Social Reckoning is about the whistleblower leaking a bunch of internal Facebook memos about how evil they are.

Resident Evil is from Zach Creggor (dfirector of Barbarian and Weapons) and has had some pretty hefty marketing. It's an awesome film.

I've seen advertising for all of these just watching sports. Maybe even all for baseball at that.

Probably won’t last long at the top with the Street Fighter movie and Whalefall in theatres this week.

Tbf my wife and I looked into possibly seeing a movie this weekend and there were 3-4 options that all sucked.

Darn I actually thought it looked kinda intriguing from the tv trailer. Like Coraline but live action

I haven't seen it yet, but apparently the creepy scene from the trailer is basically the beginning of the movie, and nothing after that is as intense.

Damn thanks for saving me 90 minutes tho

I saw it, it's honestly not that bad. It's definitely more of a "horror junk food" type of movie, but a fairly good one imo. Worth the $15 ticket at least.
