why did audiences react to neon demon so much better than only god forgives?
something actually happens in neon demon

a lot happens in OGF
Because Thailand is garbage and the soundtrack for TND is very good
They saw goose and expected Drive. Now they may know what to expect after seeing OGF and it wasn't as much of a shock.

I doubt any of the mainstream audiences who saw OGF and hated it came back for Neon Demon
How did the audience react in your theaters?
My theater was half full with a wide range of people. Everybody was pretty quiet and into it until thenecrophiliascene. Then everyone started laughing and the laughs kept up sporadically for the remainder.

There was only 7 of us
The old couple walked out after 20 minutes when another shot of Elle came up and the guy said "2 hours of this!? Fuck off!"
Other than that everything else was just silence and laughs at the jokes

To use Refn's word, it's more commercial.
People expected Only God Forgives to be 2 Drive 2 Furious.

but mainstream audiences hated drive too
Because there are more tits.

Do you have friends? A majority liked drive
Neon Demon will be remembered like Drive is for dudes but with 16 year old tumblr chicks down the road.
