In North America, Nightcrawler earned $500,000 from early screenings, and after opening to 2,766 theaters, grossed $3.2 million on its first day of release. It finished its opening weekend with $10.9 million; journalists attributed the low sales to Halloween festivities. In its second weekend, Nightcrawler dropped forty-nine percent in sales, and grossed $5.4 million. After grossing $28.8 million by December, Nightcrawler reentered North American theaters due to several nominations during the 2014 film awards season.

60 of 258 · most liked firstPrimetime was good in the same vein as Nightcrawler and American Psycho; a movie about a person inside a system with a bleak, bleak conclusion.
neutral · AI labelView post →I like Marvel Movies. I always want the threats to feel more personal, to make the characters feel a human emotion. Spectacle is great, whimsy is great…but recognizable human response is what sells a character. It’d be fun to write a Nightcrawler film. Show him at his limits.
neutral · AI labelView post →A follower sent me a trailer for a NIGHTCRAWLER tv series, I watched it on my phone while half-asleep and I was so bummed to find out it’s a fan film (very well done,though). It made me realize Kurt could carry a series. Away from the X-Men, he has the conceptual charisma to pull it off.

neutral · AI labelView post →Zach Cregger’s potential upcoming projects: • 'Resident Evil' adaptation • Original sci-fi film • 'Henchman' — DC project he’s written but not yet pitched • Original thriller that 'feels like Nightcrawler' • 'Weapons' sequel
neutral · AI labelView post →watching the x-men movie which opens with Nightcrawler attacking the oval office for no specific reason
neutral · AI labelView post →Is it worse for people to know Nightcrawler met Red Hulk than for actors to know where they are or what they’re doing? What are people going to do with that information? Is anyone who cares about that stuff not going to see the movie?

neutral · AI labelView post →the movie is Primetime or Nightcrawler set in a war zone
neutral · AI labelView post →like, watch Nightcrawler's opening attack on the president in that movie, it's great because it actually uses what makes Nightcrawler unique. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsNv...
neutral · AI labelView post →Sucks that we had Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler and we didn’t get a camp as fuck Excalibur spin off movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →If I were in charge however, I would be calling them both. They'd each get a movie with a different crew. One blue. One gold. Coogler: Storm, Wolverine, Nightcrawler Wachowski: Rogue, Cyclops, Jubilee Those are their starter Pokémon. They'd have to fight each other for everyone else. And NO EMMA.
neutral · AI labelView post →someone online said jake gyllenhaal is comparable to gal gadot in terms of acting talent, and obviously that opinion doesn’t deserve a response at all other than me saying “man Nightcrawler is a good fuckin movie”
positive · AI labelView post →There's certain good things about being alone. You have time to do the things you wanna do. Movie : Nightcrawler (2014) 💙 ☁️ 🎵 (Photo by Kirpal Singh Hira)

neutral · AI labelView post →You, the noble savage comparing it to Horst Wessel, me the enlightened thinker comparing it to the Jake Gyllenhaal movie Nightcrawler.
neutral · AI labelView post →Aryan Simhadri wants to play Nightcrawler in the ‘X-MEN’ reboot film. “I already have experience with the ears and the feet … Kevin Feige, please. I would be a great Nightcrawler.” (via youtu.be/np1b-Sh64s0?...)
neutral · AI labelView post →Every time I watch NIGHTCRAWLER (2014) I'm floored by Jake Gyllenhaal's brilliantly disturbing performance as a psychopath, as well as the film's portrayal of the dark side of media and people's ghoulish fascination with violence. Gyllenhaal deserved an Oscar nom. 🎥 #filmsky

neutral · AI labelView post →Nightcrawler in the White House and the mansion invasion are still two probably top 10 comic movie action scenes.
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched Nightcrawler starring Jake Gyllenhaal Fantastic film
positive · AI labelView post →#NowWatching NIGHTCRAWLER (2014). Director: Dan Gilroy. Jake Gyllenhaal, Rene Russo. Rewatching one of my modern faves. I have original movie poster hanging in my bedroom. Excuse shadows due to lighting...I tried every angle. #filmsky 📽
positive · AI labelView post →A "Nightcrawler becomes pope" live action movie would save the MCU, actually
neutral · AI labelView post →My original review of Nightcrawler, one of the best (and most disturbing) American dramas of the past decade. Is this where Jake G first perfected his semi-official Jake G "movie star" persona? It was first movie he used it in where I sat up and took notice. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/nigh...
positive · AI labelView post →Hm! Reviews comparing Primetime to Nightcrawler, my favorite movie about an entrepreneurial go-getter.
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s like Nightcrawler but for clout. Sure you almost died but THAT’S FUCKEN HILARIOUS oh did you get that on film
neutral · AI labelView post →Without saying Nightcrawler, fav Jake Gyllenhaal Film?
neutral · AI labelView post →"The obvious reference point for Primetime is Nightcrawler. But as Lance Oppenheim’s jarring feature crashes to its climax, my mind was drawn back to another, entirely different film: Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer." ICYMI @sonnybunch.bsky.social reviews:
neutral · AI labelView post →PRIMETIME - not as Nightcrawler as I expected. Weirder movie that is as interested in To Catch a Predator and its texture as it is making extrapolations about media. Made me think of Mindhunter (the book) in same genre of guys being weird about catching baddies and mythologizing themselves doing it
neutral · AI labelView post →Adam just explained to me that the Jake Gyllenhaal movie Nightcrawler (which I have never seen) was about an unethical journalist and not, as I assumed, an X-Men origin story.
neutral · AI labelView post →an absolute dream come true: I spoke with riz ahmed about NIGHTCRAWLER, improvising with jakey g, being bad at giving directions, and his new film RELAY. (also yeah, I got him to sign my @Criterion SOUND OF METAL essay.) watch at @vulture.com: www.vulture.com/article/riz-...
neutral · AI labelView post →Multiplayer horror video game THE HEADLINERS is getting a movie adaptation from Sixth Dimension. "As if Cloverfield met Ghostbusters via Nightcrawler, we aim to take the survival-horror game & watch the mayhem unfold through the cameras of the journalists who risk everything."
neutral · AI labelView post →Isabelle 🐀🏳️🌈💙🤍💗 1) Nightcrawler. I don't even like men, but he's delightful (even if he's Catholic) 2) Uh...movie Galadriel? (God, Cate Blanchett is so fucking attractive) 3) Absolute Wonder Woman. Plenty of hotties in the Justice League by Absolute Wonder Woman is...va-va-voom 4) Borg Queen
neutral · AI labelView post →I swear it’s a mental disorder but I cannot watch a movie or show about a specific career without thinking “yeah, I should transition to that.” Even awful jobs. I watch Nightcrawler and start thinking about being a graveyard shift freelance stringer for a living and that sounds horrible!
neutral · AI labelView post →Alan Cumming had a horrible prosthetics experience playing Nightcrawler in the second X-Men movie, and hated the gig. Yet, he STILL did a fantastic job portraying my favorite X-Person. The fact that he's willing to return for Avengers: Doomsday, all these years later, is a slam dunk for nerds.
neutral · AI labelView post →I was extra confused because I was unfamiliar with the slang, so when Adam insisted it was just about “being a nightcrawler” and I was like “the bug? Lmao you’re an idiot” Adam: the 2014 film Nightcrawler? Me: I HAD SHIT GOING ON IN 2014. I WAS NOT WATCHING MOVIES ABOUT BUGS
neutral · AI labelView post →Trying to imagine the mindset of a person who goes "The city's burning down? SWEET, free content!" It's like a version of the movie Nightcrawler that's somehow less subtle
neutral · AI labelView post →Guys, I'm going to be real, I thought that Nightcrawler movie was about the X-Men guy for way too many years
neutral · AI labelView post →recent LA trip convinced me that a movie theater should schedule a double header of NIGHTCRAWLER and THE NEON DEMON and they should invite me to talk about them 😇
neutral · AI labelView post →A new Block Busters today for all $5+ patrons! We watched Nightcrawler, a movie I somehow hadn’t seen, and talk about this instant classic. REALLY loved this one, had a great time going over it before talking about the usual movie tangents www.patreon.com/posts/block-...
positive · AI labelView post →*strokes chin sagely* One can both dislike the juggernaut of mediocrity that is the Marvel Universe AND delight in Alan Cumming reprising his role as Nightcrawler in the upcoming Avengers film
neutral · AI labelView post →007 - Uncanny X-Men #204 (1/7/1986) Love the movie poster marquee look to this; very apt for a Nightcrawler solo story (esp. one featuring Arcade). Cover by June Brigman & Terry Austin. Interiors by Chris Claremont & Brigman #XMenADay #XMen50 #Xmen #UncannyXMen #Nightcrawler
neutral · AI labelView post →Seems like some of you might be watching X-Men '97 & remembering/realizing Nightcrawler is awesome. If you're wondering what else the erstwhile movie adaptations have kept from you - in comics, he feels like velvet 💙 #Nightcrawler #XMen97
neutral · AI labelView post →I think the X-MEN movie nailed it: Nightcrawler: Excuse me? They say you can imitate anybody, even their voice? Mystique: [as Nightcrawler] Even their voice. Nightcrawler: Then why not stay in disguise all the time? You know, look like everyone else. Mystique: Because *we shouldn't have to*
neutral · AI labelView post →To follow up on this...that "Curtis Armstrong as Wolverine" thing comes from a long-ago post on my site, where I tried to cast a 1980s X-Men movie, with Jon Cryer as Cyclops, Anthony Michael Hall as Nightcrawler, and Molly Ringwald as Phoenix. ...You would've seen this movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →tonight's movie night with friends: NIGHTCRAWLER
neutral · AI labelView post →Now we're talking. I have original one sheet in my bedroom. Nightcrawler should have been Jake Gyllenhaal's Oscar, probably Rene Russo as well. Still salty they weren't nominated. #filmsky 📽🎥🎬🎞
positive · AI labelView post →Nightcrawler might actually be favorite movie
positive · AI labelView post →I was suddenly thinking how wasted the Alan Cumming Nightcrawler was. I would have loved a standalone film of him.
neutral · AI labelView post →these posts brought to you by turning to my spouse after Nightcrawler & saying "Renee Russo in this film is like if Faye Dunaway in Network grew up to be a character"
neutral · AI labelView post →Jake Gylenhall in Nightcrawler does a fantastic job of exactly this in that movie. The rehearsed responses where he sounds vaguely human but it's entirely calculated
neutral · AI labelView post →He came to Seattle when filming X2 in Vancouver for a book signing. I brought him a comic with Nightcrawler to sign. He said, "Oh! I haven't seen many of these in person" and took his time flipping through it. Then he signed it, adding, "These aren't in the movie" with an arrow point to Kurt's abs.
neutral · AI labelView post →Happy with the new X-Men cast so far. All we need now are Jubilee, a new Gambit, Mystique, Magneto, Nightcrawler and inevitably, a new Wolverine. But considering that I haven’t seen Thunderbolts, I’m willing to give the director of that a chance. And Mr. Sinister is finally in a film!
neutral · AI labelView post →#letterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #filmsky Only Yesterday is an immediate all timer for me End of Oak Street felt like a 90s Amblin film in the best ways Nightcrawler is even more relevant today and still mad Gyllenhaal got snubbed Furiosa is even better on rewatch. Movie deserved better
positive · AI labelView post →346.) Nightcrawler (2014) Primetime trailer inspired me to finally watch this. Tense film that uses the scenic backdrop of Los Angeles at night to craft a stellar horror story. The horror story being that America's newsmedia ecosystem is built to let the Lou Blooms of the world flourish.
positive · AI labelView post →Over the weekend I published a column about how we should all watch Nightcrawler, especially if you haven't before. It's a great film about media and, as a bonus, is full of delightful LA cinematography.
positive · AI labelView post →He smiles - it means he is kind ☺️🤲 #XMen #Nightcrawler #KurtWagner #DarkPhoenix #Marvel #Movie
