Deadline's Anthony D'Alessandro is very unhappy that "The Silent Twins" flopped badly at box office: "this is a very original movie" Peterlee Sep 17, 10:00

Warners better hope it does better than that. I'm expecting a C or lower CinemaScore. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 16, 17:25

Unless it's crazy frontloading by Harry Styles fans, still pretty confident in better than that (box office) notfabio Sep 16, 17:31
