  1. But with normal cinema releases you will still have your 100 million subscribers, You have 2 or even 3 solid sources of income and want to have only one instead. Not a good business model. Not a business model at all. How many subscribers helped to add hybride releases of Black Widow or Jungle Cruise? Not much. Yet they destroyed cinema releases. Of course it's a dream of any studio boss. If you made a shitty movie for $200 mln and it bombed in theaters you might be fired. But if you made a shitty movie for $200 mln and it will go for streaming you will still get the same money per month from subscribers. And pretty much no one will unsubscribe for one or even two terrinble movies.
  2. Of course not. But just imagine only 10% of people who watched the movie illegally online would go to cinema. That would make a huge difference. Usually our cinema owners and managers believed that people who watch movie for free online mostly would not go to cinema anyway. At least partially true. With so many hybride release and perfect HD copies on the opening weekend that doesnt work anymore, Millions of regular moviegoers all over the world are watching now movies online for free. And it will not be an easy job to change their habits.
  3. Still cant understand obsession with hybride releases. They are simply destroying business, sure way to lose money. 9 out of 10 from my friend list of facebook watched The Suicide Squad for free. And they are mostly respectable people from our movie and TV industry. Many of them will go to cinema in case of pure theatrical release. Caught a dialogue like this. "Lets go to watch The Suicide Squad. Looks cool, nearly 100% on RT. What for? It will be tomorrow online, no need to go anywhere. Oh, i really forgot. Will watch online too". And once again they are rather rich and successful guys.
  4. Old is doing reasonably good. Probably around $2 mln opening weekend, Much less than Split but good considering the circumstances. 20 people per show. On the other hand Snake Eyes is an utter disaster. 6 people per show, $675-700k. Less than 1/5 of G.I. Joe: Retaliation opening weekend. 57-58% 3rd weekend drop Black Widow, 38-40% 2nd weekend drop Space Jam. Once again nice holds for Luca and Cruella.
  5. Ant Man 2 was affected with decisive Football World Cup matches. SM:FFH was a sequel. Opening weekenld less than Ant Man 2 is a total disaster.
  6. 22% Friday drop in Russia. Definitely not good.
  7. Only 2 regions out of 89 completely closed movie theaters, And they dont contribute much. Some changed capacity restrictions but that doesnt matter at all. With extreme heat, bad covid situation, unappealing new releases and Euro2020 the market is dead. This weekend will be the worst summer weekend in 11 years. 10-12 people per show is the best you can hope for. Let's hope Black Widow will save us. Some regions tried to restrict activities like going to cinemas or to a restaurant only to vaccinated people or people with fresh covid tests,. Didnt go well at all.
  8. Opening weekend in Russia on par with Mortal Kombat. Less than Hobbs and Shaw Probably around 600 mln RUB or $8 mln in 5 days.
  9. Looks like 42-43% drop compared to F8 and 49-50% compared to F7 in Russia. The only hope is that unusual Wednesday opening messed things up.
  10. Some other numbers. Warner Bros was the leading distributor on the reopening day, with six titles in the top 15 including Mortal Kombat (£31,015 from 216, £144 average); Judas And The Black Messiah (£27,843 from 187, £149 average); Those Who Wish Me Dead (£23,627 from 157, £150 average); Tom & Jerry: The Movie (£12,148 from 177, £68 average); and The Little Things (£10,424 from 120, £87 average) Other titles playing in cinemas included Oscar winners Minari, following up its April 2 digital release by taking £12,556 from 67 sites for a £187 average for Altitude; and Vertigo Releasing’s Sound Of Metal, taking £8,194 from 70 locations for a £117 average. Disney also had Raya And The Last Dragon playing in 40 sites, taking £6,200 at an average of £155; while Zee Studios released Bollywood title Radhe: The Most Wanted Bhai in 20 cinemas, taking £5,779 at an average of £289.
  11. Monday Top 5. Rank Film (Distributor) Single-day gross (May 17) Total gross to date Week 1 Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway (Sony) £226,840 £226,840 1 2 Nomadland (Disney) £96,567 £96,567 1 3 Godzilla Vs. Kong (Warner Bros) £93,868 £93,868 1 4 Spiral: From The Book Of Saw (Lionsgate) £73,184 £73,184 1 5 The Unholy (Sony) £37,967 £37,967 1
  12. Actually its only top15 charts for weekends and no final grosses for most of the movies.
  13. 290 mln RUB or $3.85 mln Wrath of Man. On par with the The Gentlemen 14 months ago.
  14. 101-102 mln RUB $1,4 OD. Best opening day for a Hollywood movie since Joker. 4th best OD in April after FF7, FF8 and Age of Ultron. $6-7 mln OW for Mortal Kombat depending how much it will be frontloaded.
  15. $323k presales with 4 hours to go. Just crazy.
  16. Terrific presales for Mortal Combat. Already $234k. Will beat Godzilla vs. Kong.
  17. $0.7 mln in Ukraine? Hard to believe with almost half of the country closed with local lockdowns.
  18. Around $1.2 mln OD in Russia maybe a bit more. 29-30% more than Pacific Rim 2 exactly 3 years ago. Best opening day for a Hollywood movie since Frozen 2 in November, 2019.
  19. Why you compare movie tickerts with home entertainment? It;'s pretty much like compare going to live concert and listening music on youtube or spotify? Or going to football match and watching at home. Of course the first option will cost more. Even if you get 4 people at home you still get much worse experience for the same price. And its not very easy to have 2 people in one family with same movie tastes. Greedy stupid stidio bosses wet dream. More fair to compare with online platforms. Once again one movie = entire catalog of 3 biggest online platforms. Outrageous price for the most but enough to destroy the balance. Family and children films do not suffer from piracy at all. Everything else do and blockbusters suffer the most. Films with average and but world of mouth are dead on arrival with hybrid releases.
  20. Piracy didnt kill Soul in Russia either, But Wonder Woman 1984 was dead on arrival.
  21. You dont realize how much is $30 for an average guy. It's about the same you pay for Netflix, Amazon Prime and HBO Max put together. And dont underestimare piracy. With such hybrid releases you can watch a movie for free the same day.
  22. Mojo has so many stupid errors with some numbers counted twice or some numbers not counted at all. Really frustrating and not reliable anymore,
  23. Apparently F9 will be released a month earlier than in US. New release date May, 20th.
  24. Does anyone have a sourse for current brazilian numbers? I used for several years https://www.exibidor.com.br/, They had top 10 weekend Comscore numbers with box ofiice and admissions but recently removed them from the site. Adorocinema has no updates since last March.
