The final film in the $10,000 club was Phoenix. The overall number one film was next, as Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation earned an average of $14,034.
Up next were a pair of documentaries, Best of Enemies and Listen to Me Marlon, with averages of $16,913 and $15,034 respectively. The End of the Tour is the latest success for A24, as it topped the per theater chart with an average of $30,810 in four theaters. Per Theater Chart: Strong Beginning for The End Is it really that bad? Or did it struggle because of genre overload? It opened below the Mendoza Line (earning less that $2,000 per theater) before disappearing from theaters. It also opened in "select cities", which is a terrible release strategy in general, and especially bad for horror films. (It was actually originally written to be entirely found footage, but that was changed early in the production.) This genre is well off its peak in terms of popularity and even the fact that it had some connection to found footage was enough to kill its buzz. The Vatican Tapes is a horror film that includes elements of found footage. Diary of a Lost Girl is 86 years old, but the Blu-ray is Pick of the Week.įeatured Blu-ray / DVD Review: The Vatican Tapes As for the best release on this week's list, I'm going old school. There's mostly filler by the time you get to the second page of new releases. The second biggest release according to is the Back to the Future Box Set. The number one release is Jurassic World, which is one of the biggest hits of all time.

It is not exciting, scary, compelling, or entertaining – it’s just a boring dud, period.All Time Domestic Box Office (Rank 7,701-7,800)Īll Time International Box Office (Rank 3,901-4,000)Īll Time Worldwide Box Office (Rank 5,901-6,000)Īll Time Domestic Highest Grossing Limited Release Movies (Rank 1,101-1,200) The Vatican Tapes is bogged down by painfully slow pacing during which nothing happens for a long time, a cast that is mostly just there to get their paycheck, and a script that doesn’t seem to know it actually wants to say. And it’s sad at the end of the day that the Church, for all its so-called elite warriors against darkness in standby to do God’s work, is actually quite impotent, just standing there and apparently gaping helplessly after sending just one guy to take down the Antichrist. The horror bits are standard Hollywood tricks – slow motion camera moving over a dark area, BOOM! – and the exorcism scene is unintentionally funny because of some hammy acting from everyone involved. Dougray Scott wears some tight shirts, but his face looks like a blown-up car accident. Djimon Hounsou is still looking for a role that will do him justice.
Lovely.įather Lozano generally stands around mumbling prayers and looking at the camera like he’s a lost goldfish waiting for his next paycheck. And this whore mother aspect of Olivia is one of the reasons that marked her as the Antichrist. In other words, the prostitute he knocked up in an effort to “save” her (eye roll) – whatever. Her father Roger is creepily possessive of Angela, and he knocked Angela’s mother up before abandoning her, and when she dumped Angela – she was a down on her luck prostitute, remember? – Roger took Angela in. It turns out that she’s marked by the Devil, and it’s all her whore mother’s fault, of course. Here, the Antichrist is poor Angela, who cuts herself on her birthday cake and proceeds to start drinking entire bottles of water in one go and generally staring at the camera in a “I, too, wanna be like those long-haired dead girls in those Korean horror movies!” way.
THE VATICAN TAPES 2015 FULL MOVIE MOVIE
This movie tries to follow the footsteps of movies like The Omen, which is all about the coming of the Antichrist. Think about it – creepy wizened white men starting at the screen to footage of you in the bathroom or changing room, all in the name of watching for the Devil’s work to show up. The only creepy thing about The Vatican Tapes is its assertion that the Roman Catholic Church has footage of all of us doing everything… everywhere. Main cast: Olivia Taylor Dudley (Angela Holmes), Michael Peña (Father Lozano), Dougray Scott (Roger Holmes), John Patrick Amedori (Pete), Djimon Hounsou (Vicar Imani), and Peter Andersson (Cardinal Bruun)
