Paramount Pictures has officially defended controversial new film mother! amid negative audience reaction and poor box office sales.
Many people’s assumptions that mother! is a conventional horror were incorrect, something that has perhaps pushing audiences to new Stephen King adaptation It which is making box office history.
Previous films to have received the dreaded F grade from audiences include The Box, from Donnie Darko director Richard Kelly, and Steven Soderbergh’s Solaris remake.
– the studio certainly guilty of fanning the arthouse film out wider than usual due to the star appeal of lead actor Lawrence.
