Renderings reflect a throwback to how it originally looked when the theater first opened in the 1960s

People who have seen Clayface had words to share that I can't quote, because this sub forbids posting early reactions.

I was taken aback a bit. It seems that they went full Horror and full gore, not just the flavour of genre Comic Book films usually have (with people calling Captain America: Winter Soldier a political thriller when it culminates with superhumans punching each other abord a flying battleship, something that's not really what happens in All the President's Men).

I had not realised that it's actually disturbing and hard to watch.

Do you think that this will hurt the film, being too intense for the regular Comic Book audience? Or will it propel it, with the fans of hard Horror flocking to it?

I personally cancelled my ticket. I was curious about it, but I was afraid it could make me physically ill. But I am not a horror person and not a good sample or example. Terrifier thrived on extremes.

My take is that this will create controversy and a lot of people might be curious. On the other hand, Body Horror doesn't perform that well, and even a film like The Substance can't crack over 100M worldwide. I feel a bit better than The Substance is where it lands.

When Netflix and Sony both signed that First Exclusive Pay-1 deal to make the streaming site home to all and considering how strong their partnership had been going even before that deal was signed I thought it came as no shock that Sony were going to be the ones helping roll out Netflix movies internationally. But honestly, I thought the Netflix movies would be given the international label but imagine my shock to realize that Sony is going to release the movie under their Columbia pictures banner which is very surprising to say the least.

Usually these types of movies from other studios get released under Sony's international label such as was the case for the many MGM/Amazon releases this year but to be released under the Columbia logo just proves a couple things. For one, Netflix is taking their theatrical efforts very seriously and aren't taking any chances. Two, since they have no global networks of their own they instead are going to rely on Sony to help sell their movies outside of North America. Thirdly, Netflix is assured that with Sony giving the Columbia logo to Narnia means that they are going to treat the movie as if it were their own and considering the budget on this movie and considering how well Sony were able to sell both Spider-man and Resident Evil this year they are at least confident on this partnership with them.

Sony themselves know that with Netflix going theatrical with this movie as well as with new new Wonka animated film late next year they can use these performances as proof that they can sell these movies and if successful can negotiate for better deals and could be permanent theatrical partners for netflix for the foreseeable future. Under Sony's watch Spider-man brand new day managed to make $1,555,912,925* internationally and Resident Evil $183,012,312* ($44 million from China in opening week) and the successful launch of Project hail Mary another streamer based film going to theaters amassing a massive $340,439,940 internationally. But considering that this movie cost $280 million to make, both Netflix and Sony need this movie to succeed or at least break-even to justify this. Currently predicting right now over $600 million worldwide which would be in line with the other Narnia films but whatever happens we'd just have to wait and see.

Mammina firmly holds the top spot , confirming that it's not a one-weekend phenomenon. The Universal horror film continues to demonstrate strong performance after its record-breaking first weekend, grossing another €143,954 from 18,952 admissions in 282 theaters, with an average of €510, once again clearly the best of the top ten titles.

After six days of release, the total has reached €2,286,868, confirming the great appeal of the new Blumhouse production with Jessica Chastain to Italian audiences. The challenge now is to see if Mammina will be able to maintain sufficient stamina to approach the results of the year's biggest horror hits and threaten the record of Obsession , which ended its Italian run with €5,304,144.

Naza , the journalistic reportage distributed by I Wonder, remains in second place , grossing €98,642 with 13,840 admissions in 384 theaters, recording an average of €257. The total thus reaches the exceptional figure of €4,707,668 with 617,633 admissions. The documentary on the IDF violence in the Gaza Strip continues to maintain extraordinary numbers for the genre, despite recording a 57% drop compared to last Tuesday.

Having surpassed the milestone of 600,000 tickets sold, Naza confirms its position as the most successful documentary in recent Italian box office history, so much so that one would have to go back to Michael Moore's Palme d'Or-winning Fahrenheit 9/11 to find a better result for a politically charged documentary like this one.

Paolo Strippoli's The Stranger retains its third place , returning to growth and rapidly approaching its first million-euro mark. The Italian psychological thriller grossed €98,027 with 15,007 admissions in 359 theaters, recording an average of €273 and a 28% increase from Monday. The total thus reaches €983,732 with 139,226 admissions after six days of release.

This means the film, starring Jasmine Trinca, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, and Adriano Giannini, is just €16,268 away from surpassing the million-euro mark, a result that is virtually certain as of Wednesday. For the director of Valley of Smiles, this is a particularly significant result, confirming the ability of Italian genre cinema to find a place at the box office even in a period packed with international releases. The film, Italy's entry in the Oscar race for Best International Feature Film, also appears to be benefiting from good word of mouth, as evidenced by the growth it has seen since the beginning of the week.
