TIG really has the potential to score big time in the box office this Oscar season

So even if VOD streaming is on the rise, it might not be still that beneficial to the actors/crew. This was also the concerns raised in the music industry for services like Spotify. Although the music consumption is high it's not picking up the monetary value that paid digital downloads and actual CD sales have Streaming might be the new avenue for movies to get second wind/rediscovered but looks like it won't have the financial impact that great tangible Home Video sales had

Well direct-to-dvd is now direct-to-VOD I still buy DVD (and VCDs which is still available here) but only when they are on discount already.

I'm assuming digital sales in the US are not that big because in the music industry even if CDs are on sharp decline in the last 5 years or so, there are still more CDs sold each week than digital albums. And digital sales are on decline now as well with streaming gaining ground I know Netflix streaming is a big there in the US, don't they have any data?

Happy Birthday Baumer! NATM3 is doing so well! Where do you guys see will it end DOM?

Feast was very lovable I'm satisfied with this movie's BO performance PS I hope the title will be edited soon, just remove First Look at Hiro & Baymax Page 33 | New Trailer Page 89

Sasha tweeted a few days ago that Aniston is a threat to win Best Actress, maybe to taunt the Jolie fans Anyway, Selma I think has a shot although the SAG snub hurts. We'll find out when the other guilds starts releasing nominees/winners. American Sniper's excellent box office in limited release and reading tweets from celebrities how good Bradley Cooper could be a contender as well for nomination, we shall see

The controversy (rumour has it Weinstein started it lol) is not as big as the one Zero Dark Thirty faced so I think it won't get hurt. Ava Duvernay afterall was a former publicist so she knows the game

yes someone please edit the title, the title is so dated lol Glad this movie had good legs

Great weekend all around! Good recovery for NATM3 and Annie. Love the number for BH6 as well. Poor Penguins though

I never thought he would be the one to break out from Alias

BOFTA's marketing with the #OneLastTime tag was quite effective. MJ2 should something to that effect as well. Lionsgate may never have a franchise as big as this one anytime soon

Lionsgate should do better job marketing MJ2, they slacked with MJ1

I think CF is the franchise peak in box office but MJ2 will increase from MJ1 and who knows maybe it can come near 400M again

Really glad the Christmas weekend box office delivered after weeks of disappointments plus that Sony-interview mess

Penguins had a nice increase but still not gonna save face. I really feel bad for Dreamworks

I only knew Corden in Begin Again and that he's replacing Craig Ferguson on CBS

Horrible Bosses probably was just too forgettable that it didn't generate interest for the sequel.
