@PoorOldRoloTony That’s right, you can’t win an Oscar for horror. Just ask Amy Madigan, Kathy Bates, Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, and Jonathan Demme.

[Rolo Tony @PoorOldRoloTony]

There’s a joke in Scary Movie 6 where someone says something along the lines of, “don’t you know? You can’t win an Oscar for horror. Just ask Demi Moore!”, completely ignoring Amy Madigan’s win for Weapons (a movie referenced in Scary Movie 6). The whole movie is like this.

I do NOT wanna hear the “critics hate fun” debate on this

[Ryan Perry @RyRyanperr]

@hmmmmmmmm_yes @FroegVol4 Might have

[Ryan Perry @RyRyanperr]

@filmstofilms_ The Conjuring never should have been a franchise. I’m comfortable calling the original a modern horror classic, but nothing since has come close. At their worst, some of them are embarrassing.

I think one of the worst things to happen in our recent culture is this trend of "if a piece of fiction makes me feel a non positive emotion it's bad"

[Boston @DeadmanBostonB]

A 750k budget independent directed by a 26 year old YouTuber just passed a freaking STAR WARS movie and it released a full week earlier… This is insanity.

[Ryan Perry @RyRyanperr]

@prageru @AldoButtazzoni This is what tolerance looks like. Always remember: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” 🙄 Whatever.

[Laura Robinson @LauraRbnsn]

If this happens, there are only two things that can stop Inde from getting an Oscar nom.
1) a surprisingly crowded field where she is plausibly 6th in a category
2) Inde says something dumb on social media.
INDE. BABY. WE ARE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU.
GET MEDIA TRAINING.

[John Squires 🎃 @FreddyInSpace]

So this is insane. I had predicted OBSESSION would open to $20 million in its first weekend. It came in just shy of that ($17 million). But now it's going to hit and potentially even surpass $20 million in its SECOND weekend?! Practically unheard of levels of word-of-mouth here.

[Ryan Perry @RyRyanperr]

@Variety @waxworkrecords I’ve got a good feeling about this one. If Demi Moore can get nominated and Amy Madigan can WIN (both of which I’m happy with, by the way), then this could really happen.

[Ryan Perry @RyRyanperr]

@oguiizao I saw it last Tuesday at 8pm and it was packed. And we were all really into it. The power of word of mouth in action.

[We Watched A Movie @WeWatchedAMovie]

Going to the movies alone is awesome. I don’t know why it’s even a conversation anymore.

[HalloweenYear-Round 🎃 @HalloweenYrRnd]

I'm always happy to see low budget, indie horror thrive. But when the movie is as great as Obsession is, it feels even better!

[🦀 YORA 🦀 @yoracrab]

horror might be the one genre where a low budget almost always means a better movie

[blue @words_salad]

It’s not $100M itself that’s crazy. A second weekend box office is considered a success if it has a 40-50% drop compared to the first weekend. Not only did Obsession not drop but the fact that it’s projecting to have an INCREASE? Genuinely insane.

[brandon* @brndxix]

shoutout to horror being the main genre that gives us so many good ORIGINAL and cheap films

[priscilla page @BBW_BFF]

it is never weird to go watch any movie alone
