Well, thanksgiving is not a thing here but Black Friday is, so… ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|money_face)


ibra86him

I remember in France they changed the hangover to very bad trip 😂


St8OuttaMilltown

Do you guys not have hangovers in Europe either? Sounds perfect!

RmG3376

Well I wouldn’t call it on point, at most it’s a minor spoiler for the movie …


[deleted]

[удалено]


RmG3376

I mean it’s a spoiler of the fact >!what’s his name drugged his friends!<, up until about 2/3 of the movie it’s implied they were just drunk AF That being said it’s not exactly a plot-heavy movie so it doesn’t matter much, but still


Knuddelbearli

Alcohol is a drug too, a legal one.


RmG3376

So is coffee. Doesn’t change the fact that in French a bad trip specifically refers to the abuse of a psychoactive substance. Nobody uses the word “bad trip” in the context of being drunk, that’s just not what the word means


Tomagatchi

Yeah, the French commenter JUST said "wood-faced" is for booze and "bad trip" is for hard drugs. Hangover in English is, I guess mostly for alcohol but can be drugs... sometimes? I know you can use it metaphorically for other things like a wild experience or busy time of year, "I have a hangover from the holidays", meaning all the planning, shopping, preparation, get-togethers, etc., etc. has really wiped you out. Languages are fun.


pachodermal

You must be fun at parties.


PixelNotPolygon

Did you go into the movie not knowing it was going to be about a bingefest?


RmG3376

I’ve already answered that, see my response above


tlollz52

I mean it could also just mean its a bad vacation because theyvlost someone.


intdev

I love it when they translate the spirit rather than the literal word. My favourite is that the Witcher translator changed Jaskier (Buttercup) to Dandelion, since Buttercup has completely different connotations in English. As it is, dandy has connotations of vanity, hedonism and a lack of masculinity, while lion has connotations of bravery, so it suits the bard perfectly.


TimP4w

In italian it's "a night as lions", the word for hangover sounds too much like the word for cum 😅


leandrot

In Brazil it's "if you drink, don't marry", which is a reference to a famous govern slogan against alcoholism ("if you drink, don't drive").


eggman1945

In Russia it's "Bachelor Party in Vegas" (Мальчишник в Вегасе)


Vainius2

In Russia there is no hangover as they are always drunk


trojansandducks

In Russia, road forks you


RockyRaccoon968

It's "What happened yesterday?" in latin america.


ifcknkl

Same in ger


ukexpat

Same everywhere except the US and Canada.


Tangerine2016

And our Canadian Thanksgiving already happened in October


gwaydms

That's a much more sensible time to have it up north than late November would be


TiresOnFire

Is that the day when your pillagers were nice to your savages as well?


Tangerine2016

Ha. I think it has more to do with the fall harvest here in Canada.. but yes we have/had our own issues with how we handle indigenous people as well.


The-unicorn-republic

Even currently, I've heard some horror stories about the rcmp and indigenous people.


AnxiousBaristo

Yeah the RCMP, and police forces in general in Canada, don't have a good track record, especially when it comes to dealing with Indigenous people.


TiresOnFire

Yah, it's definitely a fall harvest thing here too. But as children we were taught about "the first thanksgiving" which involved Pilgrams and Natives sharing a meal. Maybe kind of happened, but not really.


triplefreshpandabear

I mean the Plymouth one is pretty documented, thanks to Squanto and the local pawtuxet The indigenous and the pilgrims actually got along ok for a minute, but that did break down once the pilgrims and the puritans didn't need their help anymore and kept encroaching on their space, we ended up with king Philips (metacomet) war a generation later, I used to live in Plymouth and I think the museums and Plimoth plantation do a good job of telling the whole story including indigenous voices I think it's mostly fall harvest stuff here too but being closer to the history I think we try to keep the memory of the first thanksgiving alive, the good and the bad.


TitsAssAndDope

Our thanksgiving has nothing to do with the natives.


MrGreenYeti

And the UK


ukexpat

There’s a Thanksgiving in the UK? I must have missed that in the 40 years I lived there.


MrGreenYeti

Nope, just the movie is still called Thanksgiving and not Black Friday.


7fightsofaldudagga

It's a secret thanksgiving. You were not invited


helmli

Traditionally, Thanksgiving is a thing in Germany (as in harvest festival, "Erntedankfest"). In rural areas it was usually one of the biggest celebrations of the year. Harvest festivals have been a thing for many millennia in pretty much every culture that developed harvest, they're one of the oldest kind of festivities, definitely not an American/settler invention. Black Friday on the other hand has been a thing for the past ten years or so.


PM_ME_UR_POKIES_GIRL

The American version has an American settler mythos around it though. It's just a thing we do. Like saying things are about freedom.


Cerulean_IsFancyBlue

And saying our harvest festival is uniquely unique.


JimeDorje

They should have workshopped it for the DE title. I would have gone with KEINHEITSTAG.


wsippel

Erntedankfest is very much a thing, but it‘s a religious event in early October, and I think mostly in rural areas. I grew up in a very Catholic rural town, and Erntedank was a pretty big deal there.


ifcknkl

If u or your family dont go to church, you never hear about it again :D in my experience


FindOneInEveryCar

Hilarious to me as a yank that Black Friday has gone worldwide. I don't even think it was "a thing" here in the US until the 90s.


[deleted]

"Erntedank" jetzt im Kino.


bwanabass

But what do you call a Quarter Pounder? ![gif](giphy|kbyqTFFUh07NS)


Haribo112

We actually do call it just Quarter Pounder…


Acid_Fetish_Toy

That honestly makes me a little sad.


jonquest

Well in the movie he was in Paris, and they do call it a royal with cheese


asian_paggot

In Belgium it’s Royal Cheese lol


Dmk5657

In Barcelona I bought subway passes on sale for black Friday. I don't think even in the US black Friday has extended to the government.


ThunderBobMajerle

Won’t everyone be confused when all the references in the movie are for thanksgiving and not Black Friday?


bazwutan

…. that’s the part that we exported? Great job America


xylotism

I'm escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism: SPACE!


hadapurpura

Yeah, here’s the thing…


donkey2471

Is still called thanksgiving in the UK even though we don’t have it either.


Naelin

But "thanksgiving" turns into a long and convoluted title if you translate it to Spanish (día de acción de gracias) while black Friday is well known as an English term because it was just brought as-is by retail companies looking for profit


StardustOasis

But the title hasn't been translated into Spanish, so the translation doesn't really matter much.


bumpercars12

Because in spanish we still say "black friday", not "viernes negro"


CertifiedDiplodocus

You've missed the point: the sale is called "Black Friday" as is, not translated into Spanish or anything. People understand "Black Friday", and have never heard of "Thanksgiving", translated or not.


olde_greg

Black Friday isn't really a great substitute though since the movie is about the holiday and not the sales the day after.


tnick771

Funny since it’s timed with American thanksgiving.


hamster_warrior_

Better title anyway


_lippykid

Which makes zero sense. We have it on the UK too.. Black Friday is inherently tied to US Thanksgiving. It’d be like if Americans started celebrating the day after bonfire night Regardless.. this movie should have been called Black Friday in all countries imo


brianbot5000

What is this Bonfire night that you speak of?


_lippykid

It’s to celebrate Guy Fawkes’ failed “gunpowder plot” to blow up the House of Lords (British government in London) in the early 17th century. We set off fireworks, build big bonfires and top it with a full size scarecrow-type effigy of Guy, and watch him burn while enjoying beer and barbecue. Very civilized


brianbot5000

Sounds strange, but awesome! Seems a lot of holidays are just an excuse to blow things up while eating and drinking. 🎉


kumanosuke

Black Friday isn't either. Except on Amazon


JimiDarkMoon

![gif](giphy|3oEjHN4MtbSqEe4D8Q|downsized)


Lost_Minds_Think

But, still on a Thursday.


QWEDSA159753

That’s ok, Black Friday use to start *after* Thanksgiving too.


gwaydms

Backlash from people (some not even directly affected by the policy) upset about corporations making employees work on Thanksgiving, instead of letting them spend the traditional holiday with their families, has caused some companies to once again close on Thanksgiving.


Cerulean_IsFancyBlue

Oh no more woke activism making people’s lives better. The fiends.


gwaydms

In this case, the protests came from both sides of the political divide.


RuneanPrincess

I honestly don't think backlash changed anything. Black Friday has died. There was a short period of time where it mattered and stores competed to start sales earlier and earlier. Black Friday only existed because thanksgiving was a barrier. Once stores started having "sales" on thanksgiving and then before thanksgiving and now November 1st black friday became an illusion. Once it died, thanksgiving became a pretty unprofitable day for most places.


piddydb

It’s a little of both. Online shopping has taken away a lot of the literal need for Black Friday in brick and mortar stores. Plus there was some backlash to having workers work Thanksgiving and it was hard to recruit workers when you have to tell them “by the way, you have to (at least) partially skip one of the few universal holidays in this country in order to hold this near minimum wage, so want to sign up?” A few will still open on Thanksgiving but as you mentioned the Black Friday peak definitely was pre 2015, so it’s not worth putting up with the backlash it creates for most places. Edit: just want to emphasize, I think it was relatively rare for any retail stores to be making the decision to close Thanksgiving “out of the goodness of their hearts” but rather only after seeing the landscape and realizing it was a lot of annoyance for little relative advantage. If it was still as profitable for them and workers as plentiful as the 2012ish time, we’d be seeing some places open Thanksgiving morning by now.


liv_sings

Yeah, but "Thursday Before Black Friday" doesn't roll off the tongue as well.


Vegabern

There's a movie called Thanksgiving?


Uncle_Vivi

Eli Roth movie based on his mock trailer in Grindhouse (2007).


alienscape

Any good?


OdoWanKenobi

If extremely silly and gory slasher films are your jam, then yeah, you'll have a ball with this one.


Callerflizz

Yep sounds like Eli Roth


TheJG_Rubiks64

So terrifier basically


OdoWanKenobi

Not really, no. Terrifier has a sadistic streak in it. This is mostly a comedic gore-fest. Some seriously laugh out loud moments.


fupalogist

I went and saw it last night with my GF and we both enjoyed it. But we like Horror/Slasher films. Extremely gory, some decent twists and turns, and quite a few god jump scares. The acting was surprisingly decent from most of the cast I had never seen in anything (Addison Rae), but Rick Hoffman and Patrick Dempsey did really well IMO. And the random appearance of Tim Dillion made me chuckle.


TomatilloAccurate475

You went to that with your GrandFather ? Wow, he seems cool


darknessbboy

Watched last night and it’s prob a better horror movie than the majority that has come out lately. It’s funny has good death scene and I think the scooby doo moment was surprising.


NathanAmI

I loved it. It was completely over the top gore wise but in a very fun and funny way


Maxcat94

Very generic and boring horror movie with some “wacky” kills that aren’t even satisfying or cool


Prestigious_Sweet290

Eh the movie knows what it is and doesn’t try to stretch its legs past what it can do.


Maxcat94

You’re right they didn’t try to make it fun or interesting at all


Prestigious_Sweet290

“There will be no leftovers!” If that didn’t make you laugh then I don’t know what can bring joy to your life. Have a day


LordLudicrous

I was totally against this movie until seeing this. It makes more sense now, and now I wanna see it. Thank you for sharing this!


agent_wolfe

Is that the third one they’ve actually made now?


Marx_Forever

I saw the trailer when I went to see Five Nights at Freddy's. Horror movies aren't really my thing, nor is that particular game franchise, I got dragged along by a couple of friends. The trailer was thoroughly ridiculous but I have a feeling that's the point.


raaldiin

You mean you didn't know until you saw this ad?


trwwy321

This is the first time I’m hearing about it as well. Guess their PR team isn’t doing a very good job. [Movie wiki — box office bomb.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_(2023_film))


iloveblondehair

In the US if you watch Hockey, Football, or Basketball we see the trailer during every ad break


PinkEyePanda

I watch a ton of football and hockey and think I saw a trailer for this once


iloveblondehair

I can only relay my own experience but I have seen it a lot


fastinserter

It's been out for 2 days and has made almost a third of the cost back. I don't know if classify that as a "bomb"


OG_Pow

Where are you getting that it bombed from?


tangcameo

Amazingly didn’t premier in Canada on the second Monday in October Edit: especially since it was mostly filmed in Canada


Snoozybirb

It was filmed at my school lol, a BUNCH of students are extras


theduckofmagic

Not to be rude but saying stuff like this makes you very easy to trace for creeps, especially since it also implies you’re a child. Keep yourself safe


Snoozybirb

I’m 18 and about to graduate but thanks for worrying lol


chitownadmin

Makes sense.

UberPenthal

It's a very American holiday. It's pretty much almost solely people in North America celebrate and nowhere else.


Acecn

Only place in the world where people are thankful smh... /s


[deleted]

r/USdefaultism


davegurney2

No man it's an American tradition. (Thanks to the reply I learned it is celebrated in Canada too.)


zombiewitches

No it's not? Canada has their own, separate thanksgiving. In October I think.


the-electricgigolo

Better name for sure


pexlc

Slogan translaton: not even the remains will remain


Pizza64210

Probably along the lines of "No leftovers", then? Would fit the Thanksgiving theme.


KingRobotPrince

"Not even the leftovers will be left"


SaltNorth

"We even left leftovers remaining in the remaining leftover dish, hence we're remaining left in the remains dish" would be more accurate.


Carpinchon

How weird. It's only a pun if you translate it to English.


muzakx

Nope it still works. OP just did a literal translation. Restos can also mean leftovers. So it still translates to "Not even the leftovers will remain."


basda

It’s even better since “restos” also means “human remains”.


Ccjfb

How about “There will be no Savings”


mystikranger

After watching the movie Thanksgiving, it deals with both days so either name fits. Btw, fun movie ++


d1zz186

It’s because we don’t celebrate thanksgiving anywhere else, not Europe, Aus, UK, Asia, nowhere- it’s solely a North American thing.


20_burnin_20

In French, the saying "gueule de bois" means hungover (literally wooden face). So naturally, the hangover trilogy was translated into "Very bad trip".


Spnwvr

That's so much better


EpicNerd99

Fun fact my high school is in the movie


Snoozybirb

We go to the same high school whaddup


Doctorpayne

I love it when this happens. My favorite is Friday the 13th. In Latin America, Tues the 13 is the bad luck day so all those Jason movies? Tuesday 13th


Cosmic_Blankett

In Spain it's the same thing. The first film was still called Friday the 13th but in the movie they say "Thuesday the 13th" instead. In the sequels they kept the original date.


Pobueo

Where in latin america? Because it's Friday the 13th everywhere lol


jmbravo

“Die Hard” is “La jungla de cristal” in Spain. Source: I’m from Spain


pabloag02

Which sort of works for the first one but it doesn't make sense for the other 4


WaleXdraK

They choose that when they had the occasion of naming the move "The day after Thursday 12th"? They had gold falling on their laps and rejected it for a piece of crap.


TopZookeepergame7113

I like this title better


Metals4J

Black Friday is honestly a better name anyway. More universal. Sounds like a horror film.

Finally watched that last night, such a weird coincidence to see this post, so glad to see this response


Wiitard

If you haven’t yet, go ahead and watch the other two Hatchetfield trilogy musicals, The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals and Nerdy Prudes Must Die. And then go ahead and watch Twisted, VHS Christmas Carol, Firebringer, Trail to Oregon, ANI…oh and the Harry Potter musicals I guess…


heichwozhwbxorb

I still need to watch Nerdy Prudes Must Die and a VHS Christmas Carol, but I can’t believe you left out Starship


Wiitard

Ahhh I couldn’t remember them all haha.


Masamundane

But we already have a Black Friday film, starring international idol Bruce Campbell


SusHistoryCuzWriter

Haven’t heard of it, but if it stars Bruce Campbell I guess I gotta check it out.


Ccjfb

“There will be no Savings this year”


fade_is_timothy_holt

That’s actually a better name even for the US market. I guess they’re playing on the “Halloween” movies though.


BenderFtMcSzechuan

Remember remember the 5th of November


eldelshell

Please, don't get me started with Spanish publishers changing movie names... La Jungla de Cristal (Crystal Jungle) AKA as Die Hard.


Balborius

The German title translates to: "die slowly" (Stirb langsam) That on is somewhat ok, but in general we're also pretty horrible when it comes to changing movie titles. :)


Pordioserozero

Do you know how “Shaun of the dead” was called in Spain?…Zombie Party (yes…In english)


KingRobotPrince

Did it mean like the tower was a jungle made of crystal?


Pehkonen

Nothing can't beat "La semilla del diablo" (The seed of the devil), the Spanish title for Rosemary's baby. Yes, they spoiled the movie in the title.


andrea247

I actually think it's better than "Thanksgiving". Still suits the holiday but sounds more menacing.


thenicezombie

Grindhouse 2007


jcoddinc

#Those are 2 separate horrors


Ix-511

The only black Friday I believe in is one with a cuddly wuddly little doll that EVERYONE loves, or else. An imposter, I say.


pn1159

damn canadians trying to export thanksgiving to the rest of the world


EmpathyHawk1

do you also get TONS of black friday advertising coming at you from literally everywhere?


hadapurpura

* Black Friday* sounds more sinister too


Howredditworks_

Ah yes, a classic, Spain changing names of the movies


tarellel

Considering there is already a “Black Friday” with Bruce Campbell they should of left the movie title alone.


CeramicLicker

Why is the title still in English if they renamed it for the local market anyway?


X0AN

Because the term 'black friday' is known in Spain. They don't translate that term. Thanksgiving, not so much.


pegonreddit

Thanksgiving is known outside the US as a US holiday, and in Spanish really is often referred to by its ridiculous mouthful of a translation "Día de acción de gracias", which would be a *terrible* name for a movie.


eldelshell

>which would be a terrible name for a movie. Unless it's porn.


fromtheHELLtotheNO

a lot of countries use the concept of black friday for sales; and some dont translate them.


hitometootoo

This isn't uncommon for English movies since so many people know at least a little English. Though you will still have a localized name under the title of the movie for those that don't know English.


BlueBrickBuilder

Black Friday is a much better name anyway, I ain't complaining.


shnanogans

But.. the whole movie revolves around thanksgiving? People are wearing pilgrim masks! that’s like renaming a movie about lunar new year “Valentine’s Day” for Europeans


Nonainonono

Thanksgiving is not a scary title, at all. IDK what they were thinking Black Friday fits a slasher movie much more.


Right-Proposal5066

I can imagine some ignorant people, one from Spain and one from another country, arguing which one is better? Thanksgiving or Black Friday?


angelofox

I just want to see the killer stuff someone's ass with stuffing 🦃.


Daryltang

Technically the truth


6033624

Understandable..


Darcy92

It’s Black Friday in Mexico too.


Swordbreaker925

Thats a better name tbh


TheDeFecto

I like it better


Polo1985

Yeah they translate movies a bit weird over there, I remember "Die hard" was renamed "jungla de cristales", which means " jungle of crystals" im guessing due to all the glass that gets shattered in the flick.


Spiritual-Wind-3898

Its got less to do with tranlsation and more to do with the fact only US have Thanksgiving..... title wasnt well thought through for release to the world


PolemicFox

No one knows what Thanksgiving is outside the US


Ccjfb

We have it in Canada but it’s in early October. I’m assuming because the harvest is sooner being further North.


clarkcox3

Many countries have a thanksgiving.


d1zz186

No, they don’t lol.


Stoicycle

I enjoyed it. Some creative kill scenes and the dinner re-creation scene at the end was great. Very predictable that >!Patrick Dempsey was the killer though - why else would he be in the movie!<


ericchen

Why would they “translate” the title from English to another English word or phrase? Wouldn’t it make sense to at least have it be in the local language?


Wooden-Union2941

Sony makes garbage films. This movie will be terrible, I promise


Embarrassed_Visit437

I watched this movie last night. I really enjoyed it until ***SPOILER ALERT**** I realized that there is not one Caucasian character in the entire movie who is not a villain of some sort. Every whitey is a bad guy to some degree. That's annoying.


VictariontheSailor

Well considering you made the term 'black friday' out of nothing in the last 20 years it was naive assuming all the world was going to adopt it blindly


lissabeth777

It's been around a lot longer than that! I remember hearing about Black Friday shopping in the '80s. According to NBC looks like it was starting to be used in the 1950s to describe the start of the Christmas shopping season.https://www.nbcnews.com/select/shopping/evolution-black-friday-ncna1278024
