You have another chance to see the movie in theaters..
Starting on October 30 for one week only, Sinners will play in IMAX at select locations across the country, marking the second IMAX re-release of the R-rated horror since its release in April of this year.
Sinners, currently the biggest original Hollywood movie since Christopher Nolan’s Inception, stars Michael B. Jordan as troubled twin brothers Smoke and Stack, who return to their hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi to start again after almost a decade working for the mob, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.
The Conjuring: Last Rites has stormed into theaters and, according to estimates, scored a devilish $75+million at the box office in its very first weekend. That’s not just impressive but it also makes the film the number one horror release of the year, right out of the gate.
Move over SINNERS.. and hold the WEAPONS.. there is a new crown as the genre’s breakout hit. But with Last Rites arriving at the start of September, just as cooler air and autumn vibes start to set in, maybe the timing played a role? Did the movie ride that seasonal wave, or does it truly have the staying power to compete long-term with the biggest names of the year? Week two will tell.
Deadline said that a big slice of the audience included women and Hispanic men and women, a demographic pull that may be connected to the movie’s religious themes and the enduring cultural fascination with faith, demons, and exorcisms.
For now, all eyes are on whether those opening-weekend chills turn into a sustained scream at the box office. But one thing is certain: thanks to Ed and Lorraine Warren’s legacy, The Conjuring franchise still knows how to scare up big numbers.
Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson return in the newest Conjuring film, set to release September 5th. This time, the movie dives into the Warrens’ reported run-ins with the paranormal activity at the infamous Smurl household in Pennsylvania — one of the state’s most debated haunting cases from the 1970s and 80s.
Fan reaction to her comments has been divided. Some think it’s a clever marketing push, adding “extra spice” to the movie’s promotion. Others defend her, pointing out that the Conjuring films have a history of eerie stories connected to their productions. (In fact, on previous sets, crew members have reported strange occurrences, and Patrick Wilson himself has admitted to experiencing unsettling dreams while filming.)
Whether you believe Farmiga’s claims or chalk them up to PR, you can’t deny it’s the perfect kind of buzz for a movie centered around the Smurl haunting — a case already drenched in skepticism, controversy, and supernatural lore.
KpopDemon Hunters may have clinched the top spot at the box office this weekend with an $18 million debut, but it doesn’t take away from what has been an absolutely amazing summer of horror. The movie Weapons is about to cross a milestone — the $200 million mark worldwide.
As of now, ticket sales for the R-rated horror film stand at $199.4 million globally. Over the weekend alone, Weapons pulled in $13.2 million from 74 overseas markets, bringing its international tally to $83 million after just three weekends of release.
In the U.S., the film has grossed $115.9 million so far. Overseas, its strongest markets have been the United Kingdom ($11 million), Mexico ($7.5 million), and France ($5.6 million). These are seriously impressive numbers for an original horror film — especially one with a modest $38 million budget from Warner Bros…
Another seemingly epic little film is coming out way.. a new trailer has been revealed for Ben Leonberg’s GOOD BOY and it looks extremely interesting.. It is told from the perspective of a family dog..
From the official description:
Indy is wary of the creepy old house, and his affection for Todd is unwavering. After moving in, Indy is immediately vexed by empty corners, tracks an invisible presence only he can see, perceives phantasmagoric warnings from a long-dead dog, and is haunted by visions of the previous occupant’s grim death. When Todd begins succumbing to the dark forces swirling around the house, Indy must battle a malevolence intent on dragging his beloved Todd into the afterlife.”
But as one commenter in the Youtube section said (and we agree): If the dog dies, we riot..
The film debuts on October 3, 2025 on Shudder.. If depending on the ending, subscriptions may be canceled..
Warner Bros. has now revealed new box office data for Weapons, including beating out a major Disney title SNOW WHITE..
MORE..
The movie brought in an additional $25 million at the domestic box office this past weekend. This puts Weapons’ domestic total at $88.5 million, just above Disney’s Snow White, which grossed $87.2 million domestically.
Weapons has not yet passed Snow White at the worldwide box office. However, Snow White made a total of $205.6 million worldwide during its entire theatrical run, whereas Weapons has brought in $148.2 million in just two weeks. They are on the way!!
2025 has been an exceptionally good year for horror..
Right now, we’re getting into the slower time for the box office season. The big blockbusters have all been released during the hottest months, and now it’s time for the overall system to cool down back to springtime levels and eventually winter slump..
But before we get there, we have a horror movie called Weapons that continues to dominate, adding $25 million at this week’s box office. That comes with a 40% drop from last week. Now, while a 40% drop sounds significant, remember—many movies have much steeper declines. The bigger they are, the mightier they fall.
For a film in the horror genre to drop less than 50% is a massive achievement. And don’t forget—it cost well below the amount of money it’s making to actually create the film. That means nothing but profit for Zach Cregger, and nothing but goodwill from the horror community, which is still giving it massive kudos and big numbers on Rotten Tomatoes.
FREAKIER FRIDAY couldn’t beat the true Weapon of the weekend box office..
New Line’s movie earned an $18.2 million opening day from 3,202 locations — including $5.7 million from previews — and putting it on course for a $40 million opening weekend.
“Weapons” is only the 14th horror movie since 1981 to earn an A- or higher on CinemaScore, and becomes the second Warner horror film this year alongside Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners,” which earned the third horror A in CinemaScore history, to reach that mark.
I just saw the movie Weapons. Zach Cregger made a decent film that’s worth talking about, but quite frankly, I’m not sure I’m in the camp of people giving it the 100% Rotten Tomatoes score.
I’ll say this first: the movie’s not forgettable. The characters are not forgettable. Josh Brolin does a great job as Archer Graff. Julia Garner brings a lot of depth to Justine Gandy, and Alden Ehrenreich’s Paul Morgan—cop, ex-boyfriend, and conflicted soul—adds another layer to the story. There are a few protagonists, and plenty of antagonists. It’s not your typical flow. It’s more akin to Midsommar or Hereditary than your standard horror flick. It’s deeply unsettling, profoundly disturbing, and strangely funny.
But a problem exists in the characters.. there was a lot of development–but we did not end up even liking any of them. No one was … ready for our acceptance..
But sadly, for me, in the end, it’s more of a miss than a dead-center bullseye.
Let me explain. The movie does a few things very well. It doesn’t take itself too seriously at points when it shouldn’t. Even during the dramatic final conclusion—one of those moments in any film where you’d expect the audience to be on the edge of their seats—it slips in a scene that would go well with a laugh-track. If you had put some Benny Hill music over that scene, it would have completely lost credibility.
But here’s the thing: while you’re laughing, you drop your guard… and then it hits you with a horrific, graphic, gory scene. That’s what Cregger does best here—he lulls you in with a little levity, only to jab at you when you least expect it. It’s not light after all. It’s mostly dark. He mocks your frivolity.
It’s tough to do a movie review without spoilers, and I’m not going to spoil anything. I will say this: the most memorable character in this movie is one you don’t even see in the previews. I did myself a huge favor by avoiding spoilers altogether. The reviews I skimmed beforehand were short, vague, and gave me nothing concrete, and I’m glad for it. I recommend you do the same.
That said, I can’t help but wonder if the marketing and buildup to this film were a bit over the top compared to what it actually delivers. We were led to expect a Stranger Things-esque production—mystery, vibe, nostalgia—and yes, we definitely get a vibe. In fact, much of the film is bright and sunny, like Hereditary, using that unsettling trick of placing horror under a blue sky. Cregger nails that.
The flow works. The storyline is interesting. The acting is superb (despite not ending up liking many characters)..
There are moments that put you on the edge of your seat, and there are moments that make you wince and cringe at what’s unfolding on the screen. But then… it just ends. And that’s the biggest jab of all.
If you expect a solid ending, depending on your point of view, you might get it. But I think a lot of people walked out of the theater wanting something different. That’s strange, because up until the wrap, the movie was going well.
The run-up to Weapons had everyone thinking it would be the horror movie of the year. For me, it’s one of the good ones. But we’ll wait until year’s end to decide if it really earns that crown.
The first full-length trailer for new football horror movie Him is here, and it promises a bloody tale about the pursuit of fame.
“What are you willing to sacrifice?” a voice asks as the trailer begins. The movie stars Marlon Wayans plays Isaiah White, a legendary quarterback nearing retirement, while Tyriq Withers plays Cameron Cade, his promising young protégé. Cameron is a rising star on the precipice of a successful career who suffers a potentially career-ending brain trauma on the eve of the NFL Scouting Combine.
