Real-life spouses Dave Franco and Alison Brie are fictional spouses growing a little too close for comfort in the body horror tale Together, out July 30th. It marks the directorial debut of Michael Shanks (who also scripts) and the Neon distributed release generated significant buzz after its Sundance bow.
Together currently has bragging rights with a rare 100% Rotten Tomatoes score and that’s helpful for the TV spots. Metacritic is at 76. Neon hopes this brings in genre audiences like their unexpected hit Longlegs did last summer. That critically appreciated pic surprised prognosticators with a $22 million start.
I don’t anticipate Together will see that kind of premiere. I do anticipate it will outdo the $5.3 million opening of Neon offering Immaculate last spring. Since it kicks off on a Wednesday, I’ll say a higher single digits bow over the traditional weekend with around $10 million for the five-day is the call.
Together opening weekend prediction: $7 million (Friday to Sunday); $10.2 million (Wednesday to Sunday)
