A24 is looking for Undertone to scare up some business with the low-budget (reportedly $500k) Canadian horror pic dropping on March 13th. From writer/director Ian Tuason and starring Nina Kiri and Adam DiMarco, the distributor picked up the title after its premiere last summer at Fantasia Fest. At that time, it landed mostly solid reviews with 88% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 68 Metacritic.
That said, it’s hard to envision this having mass appeal as it should cater strictly to attentive genre followers. With no star power driving it and muted buzz, I suspect a debut under $5 million sounds about right.
Undertone opening weekend prediction: $3.9 million
