After the Hunt: C- Per Audiences
Amazon MGM is expanding After the Hunt, its R-rated campus drama about #MeToo and Cancel Caulture, to 1,238 locations after opening in New York and Los Angeles last weekend.
The film earned only $650,000 on Friday and is headed for seventh place the weekend of Oct. 17-19.
Directed by Luca Guadagnino, After the Hunt sports a high-profile cast of Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri and Amazon gave it a presence at the industry gathering Cinema Con back in April.
But negative reviews out of a Venice Film Fest premiere in August have hobbled the film. That’s the risk if taking a contrversial picture tio a major film festival, with exposure to critics all over the world.
Audiences dislike the movie, with Cinema Score turning in a “C-” grade.
