If you’re talking about the acceleration of existing trends, that’s something I started reading right at the beginning of the pandemic. And it ignores the reality that 2019 was the biggest year for theatrical films in history. They’d made the most money. The admissions were huge. So to me, it’s much more about: What’s the new reality we’re living in?
Warner Bros. released “Tenet,” and I’m thrilled that it has made almost $350 million. But I am worried that the studios are drawing the wrong conclusions from our release — that rather than looking at where the film has worked well and how that can provide them with much needed revenue, they’re looking at where it hasn’t lived up to pre-COVID expectations and will start using that as an excuse to make exhibition take all the losses from the pandemic instead of getting in the game and adapting — or rebuilding our business, in other words.
Long term, moviegoing is a part of life, like restaurants and everything else. But right now, everybody has to adapt to a new reality.

"the current plan is to release “Come Play” on Premium VOD November 20. That’s a three-week theatrical window, and almost no one blinked."

It's playing everywhere around here, not just AMC.
Including Cinemark? Because that's the other main holdout on the window with Regal now closed down...

78% on RT with 9 reviews so far. This is 'out' this weekend, hope it hits VOD soon...
They're supposed to be doing a "virtual premiere" thing for it tomorrow, got an email with a sign up link as a Focus newsletter subscriber. This is almost definitely getting the 17 day window like Kajillionaire.
Is it playing at Cinemarks?

What? The last time I had checked Awards Daily, they had Hudson as the frontrunner for Best Actress. So missing the year/streaming is surprising. Studio must be really confident this is a moneymaker.
Apparently it's due to Bond. They don't have the money to put up an Oscar campaign with it held up...

That makes sense to me, best way to maximise profits I reckon with the holiday season. It'll have petered out by then even if there aren't major releases.
The 4K will be a nice Xmas gift to myself.
plus Dec 3 US/Dec 16 UK are the absolute earliest dates it could land on VOD/Blu-ray anyway because of the theatrical window. If they wanna rush it on there they have to renegotiate with the major chains.

Firstly, bear in mind Focus is Universal...it's part of that deal.
For Focus this short window deal is actually an interesting twist on the platform release idea. If a film underperforms in first two weeks 'limited release', it can head straight to PVOD without having to wait out the remaining 10 weeks. If it works, it can expand beyond AMC to Regal and so on, who insist on the traditional window and haven't signed the deal for the 17 days.

Thanks.
Let’s say Bond scores 80-90% on RT. There’s good buzz. It does $300M worldwide. Probably half of what it needs to break even. Could we see 10 million willing to pay $30 USD equivalent worldwide to stream it from their homes? Absolutely.
depends on where it's released on PVOD.
If it happens I think it will only be in the US ad maybe UK too if second lockdown with cinema closures happens.

worth noting it's reportedly the first film to go under the 17-day window deal with AMC. On PVOD on October 16.

PAPA NOL∀N'S TENƎꓕ | August 26 internationally. September 2 "in select US cities" | 75% on RT after 228 reviews
in Box Office Discussion

Presuming that until a vaccine is widely distributed it's gonna all be cyclical - there is merit to an idea that will come a moment in early spring where another Tenet could step up to the plate and do decently before a third wave of lockdowns happens. Question, what could that film be.
