That's evident - my post is based on me thinking it will have a hindering effect, however.

if crzay rich asians can do decently, so can this.

And at no point did I say otherwise

“box/hindering effect/limit potential reach” =/= “won’t do decently”

I'm tired of black male violent death in real life, I don't really want to see it for entertainment.

Trailer looks cool, but - and I might be off track here - don't think it was smart to add "the angry black girl" to the title. Should've just been "Monster"

I mean, the themes, allegories and tones are easily recognizable from the trailer alone - it feels hamfisted when included in the title - and I have a feeling it will put the movie in a box and limit potential audiences from the go.

Hopefully it's good, and does well though

That's an old school way of thinking, and I can say that because I'm old. You really don't need to use the traditional channels to promote anymore. The average young adult has multiple social network accounts, so a provocative title may get you further than traditional advertising. Look at the state of our society, pretty much everything spreads through internet word of mouth. Look at the high volume of misinformation that spreads so quickly.

I honestly would not be interested in "A Girl and her Monster" at all. The title made me click.

Where did I say someone was forcing me? I expressed my thoughts based on having watched the trailer, that's still allowed, right?

I’m not speaking of marketing channels. I’ve just touched 30 so I’m not flabby - and I also literally work in marketing with a focus in social media funny enough. so this is something I’m quite insightful in regards to - from engagement and other segmentation KPI’s

I’m speaking specifically about the movie title. Sure, it will be provocative for some - but it will also be off putting for some - I’d hazard a very safe guess that this will be a greater number to those that find it provocative.Every piece of mass appeal media you consume is market tested to death - to ensure it has, well “mass appeal”. Even efforts in “diversity” go through the same.

If you guys want to act like a significant number of cacs won’t see that title and think “eh, woke stuff, no thanks” - I’m here to tell you they are, but be my guest to pretend otherwise. And that’s all I was referring to. You’re limiting the audience from the start - this isn’t inherently a negative thing as purposely catering to specific market can often be more rewarding than something ambiguous - hopefully the bet here pays dividend as it does seem to have a good premise

It's a play off of Frankenstein's monster (Frankenstein was the scientist's name, not the monster's name), so the title has to focus on the girl who did it. Of course, whether it not "angry black" is included becomes the question.

I’ve seen some of your posts that I like, you come across as a fairly intelligent and polite breh - so please extend me some courtesy and respect - and just assume i know this, please

I thought my post made it clear the principal part of the title that might limit its reach was the “angry black” part. Although one could argue “girl” will likely invoke the same reaction from some - but I just assume those are more extreme unhinged types

The movie is very mid for a seasoned horror fan.

Some of the social commentary is a bit thrown in your face as if the assumption is the viewer can't come to certain conclusions about the message on their own. (Same problem I had with the candyman reboot.)

That being said, if I was trying to get my teenage child into horror, this would be a nice little first serving.
