A Sleeper Horror Flick’s Word-Of-Mouth Buzz Projected to Overtake ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ – We Got This Covered

Warner Bros.

Maybe the most tragic thing about continuing Dont Worry Darling drama is that despite the worlds rapt attention, the box office estimates are not great.

Vulture recently did a deep dive on the movie, its rollout and its prospects and surprise, nothing looks good. In fact, another movie coming out next week is out-trending DWD. Typically, a movies presages will tick upward as it gets closer to release. That wasnt the case with Dont Worry Darling, as ticket sales leveled off.

Paramounts scary supernatural movie Smile, which doesnt even open until September 30, pulled ahead of Dont Worry Darling in the critical box-office unaided awareness metric. Smile scored a 13 versus 12 for Dont Worry Darling, which isnt great for its chances.

Theres a lot of other issues at play as well, including the fact that star Chris Pine cancelled an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!earlier this week. He also didnt attend the movies premiere in New York just like his costar Florence Pugh.

Smile is based on a short film called Laura Hasnt Slept, and it stars Sosie Bacon and Jessie T. Usher, two actors who do not have nearly the name recognition that the stars of Dont Worry Darling has in its cast. The plot involves a doctor who witnesses a traumatic accident and starts seeing terrible things everywhere. It looks kind of awesome. Check out the trailer below:

The fact that a horror movie with more unknown stars is trending ahead of Dont Worry Darling speaks to a few things. Either Dont Worry Darling isnt that interesting of a movie and everyone knows it, or people are just tired of all the drama. Either way, Dont Worry Darling is in theaters now.
