I think to move into the first tier you would need to be at least in the neighborhood of top 100 adjusted. The Exorcist and Jaws and 7 and 9 respectively. Top tier is tentpole type of business.
Tier 2 I would look around the $200 million adjusted mark. This would be the area where studios would bring it up in investor conference calls, still actively similar properties to develop, etc.
according to boxoffice mojo, it is #68 of rated r movies, adjusted.

so that would be tier 1? i haven't found a list for just horror though.
I officially award IT status as "Tier 1 Industry Influencer".
Hundreds of scripts were reviewed and re-evaluated immediately after the huge opening, I am sure.
here's hoping that saw legacy does well too. maybe jason is right about making horror great again.

It can hardly be over stated how big The Exorcist was when you consider content. Changed cinema. Sometimes change is so sweeping and enormous it is overlooked.

i'll agree that the exorcist did a lot for horror. i don't know about the whole overlooked thing though. maybe forgotten would be accurate though.

Just think about what it did for movies with purely adult themes and stretching boundaries. One of the biggest movies of all time shows a child violently masturbating with a crucifix and graphic vomiting, etc. Language...

put it in the context of religion and you can get away with murder (cinematically).

The IT remake comes roaring in, bringing asses into the seats, selling out like crazy and now the horror genre seems back on the rise. And what big movie comes out in theaters next??: ... ... Friend Request...
Fun while it lasted.

I will stomp over Friend Request. That's not the point. I just want to see a good stretch run of horror in theaters for once.

i've heard good things about it, a lot better than the first is the word so far. i haven't seen it myself, hence "hopefully". and this is just theatrical. i think the better horror stuff tends to not be in theaters or only limited in theaters, usually.

Good things from actual horror fans? Or good things from the general public? And by that I mean the same people that think shit like Lights Out and The Babadook are amazing? Cause it looks like warmed over shit to me.

well, it's mostly youtube critics and such. i haven't heard a lot about it here.
but as for actual horror fans... most don't like repo! or oculus and such, so i take that with a grain of salt. i'm an actual horror fan and i like both a lot.

Repo isn't even a horror movie, yo. Oculus was p. decent.
