Crazy to think this was a poor test screening away from being sent straight to Paramount+ & digital.


For those that don't know this film was originally intended to be a P+ & digital release. However the test screenings went so well they decided to give it a marketing push and a 45 day theatre exclusive run.

It's gross currently stands at $210.2 million. The budget was $17 million.

A huge success. Mad how close this film was to being dumped on digital.

I'm glad this went to theater. I've never screamed so loudly and so frequently in a movie theater. Fantastic ride.
