I wonder what this month would’ve been like if Dune Part 2 hadn’t moved.

How on earth is this year an improvement? Trolls and THG will squeak by to ok status with their low budgets but everything else is losing money
Gotta look at the aggregate total. Individual movies can succeed or fail depending on their budgets sure, but theatres only care about butts in seats. And there’s more butts this year than last year.

The theatrical march of death continues. Another atrocious Thanksgiving for the books.
Looking better than last year. You gotta take whatever wins you can get.

Decent opening for THG. It's 5.47m cume is actually ahead of FB3, which ended at 18.5m. Although that had Easter and school holidays to help it out.

I think 10s were more consistent for the whole decade. 00s were actually rather rough in the beginning, Potter and LOTR and Spidey aside. 2000 and 2003 were exceptionally bleak. 05-07 weren’t great either actually…
08 and 09 were absolute bangers though. Holiday 09 box office has to be the most epic ever
It's interesting that you say this considering 1998-2004 was the height of moviegoing since the late 50s.

YA didn't have that big franchise to take over from Hunger Games. Book to movie YA had 3 anchoring franchises from 2000 through 2015
- Harry Potter for fantasy YA wave which also gave us Spiderwick, Eragon, Percy Jackson and others
- Twilight for supernatural romance YA which also gave us Beautiful creatures, Mortal Instruments, Vampire Academy etc
- Hunger Games for dystopian YA which gave us Maze Runner, Divergent, Giver etc
Just as Potter was winding down, Twilight showed up, just as Twilight ended Hunger Games showed up. There's just been nothing else which showed up after Hunger Games and the genre has been stuck in dystopian YA since.
This is all correct. I'd love fantasy to come back tbh. The 2000s was the decade of fantasy, with LOTR and Harry Potter and Pirates all burning up the charts.

I'll be interested to see how Next Goal Wins does in Australia. Thor L&T was the third biggest movie last year after Avatar and Top Gun, and I reckon Taika Waititi still has some credit left here vs DOM.
-
It'll make the standard Mission: Impossible amount, 170-200m. 90%+ on RT.
-
I'm not sure I'm on the same wavelength as critics when it comes to recent Disney and Pixar movies, when decidedly mediocre movies like Raya and Encanto get in the 90s, but Elemental only gets to 74%.

Here's the first one for comparison. I'll be very surprised if The Marvels even reaches 10m.
-
Next year looks apocalyptic my God. What the hell is even coming out?

Soon!!!! Just 15m to go!

Very little, IMO. For one thing, even if there is a tentative agreement with the WGA Negotiating Committee, might not be apparent right away if the rank-and-file likes it.
More over, still have the SAG-AFTRA strike to settle, and even at warp speed negotiations that'd probably take a week or two of the sort of intensive negotiations we've seen this past week with the WGA. And then we have to see if the SAG-AFTRA rank-and-file likes that agreement.
That's a shame. The rest of the year and tbh most of next year looks dire in terms of releases.

If the strike is resolved in a week, what are the odds Dune 2 goes back to November?

Did we know how much the Titanic re-release grossed here?, Screen Aus only had it $300,000 away from Passing TLJ in the February update. otherwise its out of our top 10
Does that include the 7.3m it made in the 2012 reissue?
-
I guess this means Dune 2 is definitely releasing this year.

It's so sad after these 2 gigantic movies probably everything until Christmas won't be released.
Feels like covid again after that record breaking 2019.
Is this the case? Apart from Kraven, what else has moved?
