I will resist the urge to compare Girl on the Train to Gone Girl. It's lazy.

Girl on the Train could have been another Gone Girl, but reviews just aren't there. Nonetheless, it'll do just fine. Probably about half what Gone Girl did. It won't get a lone Best Actress nomination like Gone Girl did. Emily Blunt will, sadly, still be Oscar nomination-less. Unlike Rosamund Pike who was nominated for Gone Girl. The past several years have seen strong openers in the first weekend of October. For example, Gone Girl did very well in this slot. The Birth of a Nation's Oscar buzz may have been destroyed the controversy, and Fox Searchlight payed way too much for it. It might still do OK. The family comedy Middle School is probably a non-starter.
