The Lost City Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-4 and Counting Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 58 481 12715 3.78% Total Seats Sold Today: 18 Comp 3.228x of Jungle Cruise T-4 (8.72M) 3.975x of Free Guy T-4 (8.74M) 0.984x of Uncharted T-4 (3.64M) I don't know if this is a mediocre final Sunday, which is generally an indicator on what's to come in the days ahead, or just a course-correction after the Saturday Fandango previews. Either way, things are kinda hard to parse out.

The Disney Thread | Happy 90th to Donald Duck!

The sequel to that DisneyWar book is going to be amazing -
Yes, famous actors did sell a movie over other aspects, but that's just how business works. That's like saying it's depressing that a horror movie emphasized the kills and thrills over plot or character. You need to get a hook to bring in people. And those hooks are still true today. The greater of a film's % of a movie's performance these days doesn't come from plot or characters, but how cool and shiny the brand is or just how much nostalgia-pandering there is in the movie. If Twilight wasn't a famous book series, Pattinson wouldn't have become Batman. If Jurassic World was an ordinary dinosaur movie, nobody would show up, even if it had the greatest script in the world. If Shang-Chi or Captain Marvel didn't have the MCU connections, it would tank. People don't care about plot or characters with this stuff, they just want to see something they're familiar with, like how they want to see a movie star they like. Most people did not give a damn about the FFH cliffhanger when going into NWH, they wanted to see it because it had "Marvel" on the title (and also nostalgia pandering). And if I can be blunt here, the actors and famed celebrities do play an important part of the movie, since...well, they're the ones that are front and center, have to make these characters interesting, and have to deliver the plot. And if they don't pull this off, then it's not going to be a good movie. Would Jerry Maguire, Pretty Woman, Hitch, or even A Star is Born make as much as they do if the casting was off or if the famous actors who were chosen just for their starpower didn't do a good job? Probably not. Sorry, but I don't get why one era of starpower was bad, but somehow brandpower, which does the exact same effect on people, is somehow okay.

The Lost City Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-5 and Counting Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 58 463 12715 3.64% Total Seats Sold Today: 175 Comp 3.924x of Jungle Cruise T-5 (10.59M) 4.409x of Free Guy T-5 (9.7M) 1.031x of Uncharted T-5 (3.81M) Of the 175 tickets sold, 159 of them were for the Fandango showings tonight. And of those Fandango showings, they make up...282 tickets. About 61% of all current tickets sold. An interesting dichotomy for sure, though of course that percentage will shrink in the days ahead. These preview days are really getting out of hand.

Honestly I think Sandra Bullock is the bigger deal for Lost City. She is catnip to every suburban mother. Tatum fans, please don't yell at me for saying this.
