    They need to space out their releases, not make less movies.

    “We would see the poster and one or two lines of description and fill in the blanks with our imagination” is EXACTLY how I decide to watch movies now! What I do is I’ll look at the “coming soon” tab on the Event Cinemas website, check out the posters and descriptions and decide “I might want to watch that” and mentally mark it for myself. I highly recommend this way of deciding what to watch.

    Well if a good chunk of them are seeing it for free, they might still show up for Mission Impossible eventually!

    They juiced it just enough for the 100% increase, they’ll spread a bit of the rest on Saturday.

    In America, it should be said, NTTD was still a huge hit overseas. It’s also another movie that showed the weird variance between DOM and AUS performance, it made 36m here and was by some distance the second biggest movie of 2021. Well ahead of the likes of Shang Chi and Venom and Black Widow that did well domestically that year.

    Maybe 2016 or 2017. In 2016 there was Your Name, The Handmaiden, Arrival, Silence, Shin Godzilla, Rogue One, Zootopia, Finding Dory, Deadpool. And 2017 had Death of Stalin, Coco, Last Jedi, Blade Runner 2049, Call Me By Your Name, It, I Tonya, Jumanji. 2018 pretty strong too though.

    5.9m for Australia translates to 8.6m AUD. That’s pretty good imo.

    I agree, but I reckon even The Flash, over a longer period of time, will make it’s money back. Barring any tricky Hollywood accounting.

    It’s Paramount #neverforget

    Straya?

    I really think the best thing the studios should do to improve their box office returns is to totally abandon direct to streaming. Anything that gives the audience an out to wait a month or whatever is totally corrosive to the box office.

    Yeah but that’s Infinity War and Endgame not Infinity War Part One and Infinity War Part Two.
  13. lab276
    That’s a good point actually. Terminator 2 passed it the following year as well.

    Tom Cruise might say no.

    Well you know more about him then I do, I just thought it was interesting that something like Sense8 which I think had the reputation of a flop at the time still retains value for Netflix years after the fact. It’s a shame they never gave it its full potential.

    Don’t give up on these types of movies! Here’s J Michael Straczynski explaining why Sense8, a globetrotting Netflix series that got canned after two seasons and an extended season finale is still not on blu-ray. There’s clearly some value, long term, to putting in the dollars and actually going on location.

    Maybe that’s one market that TGM is having an effect!

    Had to double check this, but it’s correct, I totally forgot MI Fallout only opened to 61m. It felt much bigger at the time, because it managed a 3.6 multi! Gives me hope for this one.
  19. lab276
    God it’s like pulling teeth getting these numbers! But I’m relieved it’s doing well here at least.

    J Law was a producer on No Hard Feelings.
  21. lab276
    Yes, the back catalogue of all movies should be accessible on one streaming service, instead of half a dozen that all cost the same amount.
  22. lab276
    I’m just not sure how you can get the general public on board with fair compensation of not just creatives but everyone below the line. How do you get people who are in the habit of paying $15 or whatever a month for all content, or worse, downloading things illegally for free, to pay the fair cost what it takes to actually produce the art?
  23. lab276
    Studios should probably have gone all in on Netflix rather than starting their own streaming services.
  24. lab276
    Is this forum noteworthy enough to target with trolls?!
  25. lab276
    That’s how this forum survives. It’s like this every year. Back when you could still read the old BOM forums, it was like this in 2002, the highest attendance year since the 50s!
