The porn parody titles got lazy, someone needed to pick up the slack. -
They couldn't even if they wanted to.

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread (December 2021 - July 2023)

Endgame, Captain Marvel wreckin shit. -
I went 3 times on OW and she got a pretty big reaction each time. That said, doing a

Iron Man Three is probably the most "detective" heavy SH movie (at least of the current era) that I can think of. The Batman movies have largely neglected that aspect of the character for whatever reason. Hopefully this film changes that.

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
Orestes replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
The crowd that would be nostalgic for that aren't really going to movies right now. -
It's not exactly arbitrary. Hitting certain milestones can mean more when it comes to tv airings and such, or at least they used to. If Disney doesn't plan for it to air anywhere other than Disney+, then those milestones might not matter much anymore.

We don't. It's not a thing here.

Marvel didn't kill home video sales or invent streaming, so if that were the case their resentment is misplaced.

I'm not even sure how many of the nominees that year would've still been nominated, aside from Mystic River. It was the only Social Issues movie. I couldn't imagine that happening today.

The mobile. part was preventing it from embedding.
-
Yeah, the types of films that got nominated and won used to be much more diverse, but something changed when Crash won. The kind of films that voters found acceptable narrowed in a pretty big way.

Actors don't usually also write, direct, and produce.

Being forced to see a movie in 3D sucks. I stopped going to IMAX showings for a while because everydamnthing was in 3D. I was so happy when they finally came to their senses and switched back to glorious 2D.

This is why I like A-List. In the last week I've already seen NWH 1x in Dolby, 2x in IMAX, and seeing it in IMAX again on Saturday. On top of that, I saw The Kingsman today and will be seeing Licorice Pizza on Friday. Combine the other movies I saw/will see this month, and it averages out to like $2.60 a ticket. That is a bit abnormal since I usually only go once a week, but even then it averages out to around 6 bucks a ticket.

I think a medieval-era movie that had the fun and energy (and color) of The Adventures of Robin Hood would do much better than po-faced misery porn like The Last Duel. Escapism and fun do better when things are bad (like during the era of Screwball comedies and swashbucklers) than navel gazing stuff like that.

If Wicked does end up disappointing, I'd say it's more because the movie should've come out like 10 years ago. Don't know why they've been dragging their feet for a decade+, but hopefully it doesn't hurt the film.

Arad even found a way to manage to mess up a films credits.

I could see reduced capacity, but I doubt any widespread shutdowns.

Canada usually accounts for about 10% of the NA box office, no?
-
I think digital distribution has more or less killed the old spill-over effect. Theaters are no longer limited by the number of prints they receive, so could theoretically play one movie on every single screen to meet demand. Combine that with the widespread adoption of reserve seating and ticket preordering, and even the possibility of a surprise breakout creating spillover is greatly diminished.

I would totally go see doubled up episodes of Hawkeye or Boba Fett if that were an option.

Monday, maybe? Might be some agreement with Sony to keep it exclusive for OW or however long.

I missed the "Puny God" line after Hulk rag dolled Loki the first few times I saw it because the crowds would laugh so hard. If I'd missed it because someones phone went off, or a kid was crying, or something, it would've been annoying. But missing a line or two because the audience is into it? That's part of what made seeing Avengers in theaters such a blast.
