The Amateur: Tickets On Sale, Featurette, 2 TV Spots, And 5 Posters

Tickets for The Amateur have officially gone on sale. 20th Century Studios has released a new behind-the-scenes featurette, 2 TV spots, and 5 posters.

20th Century Studios has had a weird trajectory since it was acquired by Disney. In terms of timing, it couldn't have been worse, with the final sale going in almost a year before the pandemic would start. It seemed like the once-great studio would be doing nothing but direct-to-Hulu streaming features and being a cash cow for maybe two franchises total. Things have been turning around as more and more films that 20th Century release do well at the box office. 2024, in particular, was a stellar year for the studio. They had movies that performed very well in April, May, July, and August. 20th Century is releasing yet another film in April this year only this time it's a thriller titled The Amateur instead of a horror film.

That might be a bit more of a gamble because if there is a genre of fans that will turn up to theaters regardless of quality, it's horror fans. A thriller might have more mainstream appeal, but will that work for or against The Amateur? It's unclear, but tickets are on sale now, so we'll be able to get an idea of what the early box office numbers look like. As is usually the case, when tickets go on sale, the studio releases a ton of stuff for us to look at. We got a featurette, two TV spot teasers, and five new posters. The posters are actually not terrible, which in this day and age might be a movie miracle.
