WB still owns a 25% stake - the same it held when JL came out in 2017. Since January 2010, Rotten Tomatoes has been owned by Flixster, which was in turn acquired by Warner Bros. in 2011. In February 2016, Rotten Tomatoes and its parent site Flixster were sold to Comcast's Fandango ticketing company.[10] Warner Bros. retained a minority stake in the merged entities, including Fandango.[1]

The Box Office Buzz, Tracking, and Pre-Sale Thread
TalismanRing replied to Shawn Robbins's topic in Box Office Discussion
NYC reportedly has 200 or so movie theaters - many are small specialty theaters or parts of museums. I have (or had - can't find it) a grid of 87 theaters where tracked films played but the most I ever counted showing one film was 69 for Endgame and that included several art house theaters and a couple on the fringe of Long Island. The overwhelming majority are in Manhattan. The Bronx with a population of 1.4m+ has TWO movie theaters.. Staten Island has I think 5. Brooklyn has 21 (but 11 are single screen/specialty for a 2.57m pop). Queens has about a dozen (2.25m) I've counted some of the larger venues in Manhattan (Lincoln Center, Empire) when we've had blockbusters but overall the most I've done city wide is tally amounts of screens and count sellouts and near sellouts. The last time I did this was for Endgame. Counting has become a bit easier since Fandango now lets you see the seating chart and what's filled without having to go through pretending to buy a ticket for every damn showing. But still, yes I'd have to be insane to count them all. -
I find it amusing that the one film I've nailed over the last two weeks is Eras when I couldn't hum a single Swift song even under the threat of death.

Weekend Thread | TAYLOR SWIFT $31M Estimate, KOTFM $23M
TalismanRing replied to Issac Newton's topic in Numbers and Data
Nolan movies have a broader theater demographic than Scorsese thanks to Batman and Inception - many of whom don't care about that run time or how it affects their sleep or work the next day. Then there was the Barbenheimer effect ... Maybe Marty should have opened it against The Marvels - could have helped both. -

Weekend Thread | TAYLOR SWIFT $31M Estimate, KOTFM $23M
TalismanRing replied to Issac Newton's topic in Numbers and Data
The big names actors took significantly less upfront for a bigger back end %. Nolan's upfront salary was the biggest above the line cost by a significant margin. This movie was initially budgeted for streaming so it's typical to pay more upfront than usual because there are no back end deals for actors. Though that might have changed with the planned hybrid release. Reportedly though Leo got paid $30m (as he did for Don't Look Down). DeNiro $22m, Gladstone $5m with every one else under $1m. Scorsese at $15-20m. So at least $80m just for above the lines costs. Then there's $5m for the book rights. Still he could have filmed it for far less - ditto The Irishman. Hugo was budgeted at $100m and he blew past that to $155-170m with no stars. -
I’m only including the MCU movies from Avengers onwards, including the Holland Spider-Man movies. @Eric Mouse Disney bought Marvel Dec 31, 2009. IM2 skirts the boundary but while Paramount distributed IM2, CA:TFA and Thor under prior contacts the later two were full on Marvel under Disney productions.

It’s Me. Hi. I’m The Eras Tour Weekend Thread | 39M Friday
TalismanRing replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
Yes and in the midst of that Leo movies opened to Great Gatsby: $50m, Revenant $40m & OUAT: $40m Only Gatsby had any significant prior name/IP recognition. Granted KOTFM is 206m but none of these were short films - all clocking in around 160m Ticket prices have also gone up 20%+ just in the last 4 years so even with say 20-25% fewer show times that his previous films and less interest $30m+ doesn't seem out of hand. -
