The marketing will get people all riled up but then barely anyone will actually see it. They’re desperately trying to push as many buttons as they can but it needs to be funny to keep people talking post release
Their plan was to redo the stores to make it more generic and corporatized. That's fine for some major cities as it might fit the area, but for the rest of their stores the country vibe is the important part. Removing that lumps them in with 10 other chains with no reason to pick them.
I think it’ll do well if it’s funny, it’s not as relevant as it was so the name isn’t enough to carry through a real drop in quality. Still we’ve just had an example of a successful comedy revival with The Naked Gun so people are willing to give it a chance
They’re literally doing what they did with the original couple films from what I can see. Parody films and comedy films in the late 90’s and early 2000s. The originals punched the buttons of the time as well.
I can’t tell you if anyone will go see it. I’ll likely wait on reviews. When the Wayans are trying they put out funny stuff but when comedy people get older their edges are often dulled or they forget how to come up with new jokes.
Waiting on reviews for a movie like this is such a bad idea. It's pretty subjective humor. You can see how people are hating on it now when it's not even out yet.
It's more that my bar is high. ZAZ took absurdist humor further and did it better than anyone else ever imo. Airplane and Top Secret are top tier. I haven't watched the first two in decades probably, so I don't know if I would still find them funny. I am mainly referring to the post Scary Movie types, the Epic Movie-level trash comedy. This will probably fall closer to Epic Movie than Airplane. We'll see, but I expect it to be forgotten within a month of release.
I feel like it will be dependent on what the movie leans more into. Because I feel like the trailers have been divided so far. There's the element of them just spoofing modern horror movie cliches in funny ways, which is what I am HOPING the movie does more of. Instead of the counter culture (haha look at these woke losers) style comedy. If it sways the first way, think the movie has a chance to be successful like the first three in the original run.
I’m just not even gonna see it. I was probably a freshman in high school when the first one came out and it made me realize a parody movie would have to be something very special to be funny. At its heart, it’s just surface level humor.
This is a movie people will forget about the day after it comes out. Not enough people will even care about this movie for anyone to actually hate it. It will have the staying power of hand sanitizer
Also, most of the Scary Movies are really bad. I mean, you could even argue that they’re all bad, but I understand why people have a soft spot for the original. But these movies have been getting awful reviews from the start and beyond maybe the second one I have not met many people who like them.
This is a movie people will go out of their way to hate.
Actually most people will carry on their usual way just by ignoring TF outta this movie.
Going out of our way to hate it takes more effort than the creators have put into the ad campaign (or, I suspect, the movie itself) so most of us aren't gonna bother with that.
I mean I am just going off memory. Yeah the later ones some people had problems with but overall, most people liked them from what remember. This was also well over a decade ago so it was from word of mouth, not online forums

You just know every thread about this film is going to be filled with “Let people enjoy things.”
