I’ve already delved into the chaotic backstory of “The Exorcism,” which is now playing in theaters. The film was shot in 2019, and some of it was reshot in 2023. Just a brief update on the numbers, it’ll probably have a 3-day opening of $2M this weekend. However, a much more problematic sign, the usually easy to please CinemaScore audience gave the film a grade of “D.” In CinemaScore’s 45-year history, only 64 movies have received a grade of “D” or worse.
The film is set to shoot in fall 2027. The idea would be to release it in December 2028, timed to Trump's exit from office. Oh, and it's now Warner Bros.' indie label, Clockwork, that's backing the film.
