    I would compare Maestro with Mank. Both reverred bipics related to Hollywood, both black and white cinematography, both with industry favor, both from Netflix, both with comparable reviews by critics... and both meeting lukewarm audience reception.

     

    In a couple of weeks, both will be BP nommed.


    The difference is 2023 is so much more competitive compared to 2020. I would be happily replace maestro with either Air or Saltburn, or boy and the heron. I could even find some suitable contender from the movie I haven’t seen like Iron Claws or the colour purple.

    I don't know what kind of theaters you guys go to but I don't have half the problems y'all are complaining about, especially the phone thing. 

    Do you stay in Asia? Because I too, don’t think the problem of moviegoing are this bad in my country. Yes we do have ads and trailer but there are generally 15min long and is a good mix of them.

     

    As for phone usage, it is still well well within the tolerance level. To see people this triggered, it must be either they have a very low tolerance and patience, or they have a very bad public manner. 

  3. I believe there are tons of people Boy on the boat should be a straight-to-streaming movie after a mid review but the BO run so far has been good and remind me of a man called otto last year. 
     

     

    likewise for anyone but you that many claim the movie look cheap and should either released on VD or dumped it to streaming. 
     

    Both prove they are wrong and evidently there are demand for them in cinema. I always detest the idea of “this should go straight-to-streaming”. No movie should ever be straight to streaming. A movie belong to cinema, as simple as that. Just like how every child should be entitled for eduction.

    What would be nommed if there were still a 5 BP field?

    Killers of the Flower Moon, Barbie and Oppenheimer would be locks for sure. But then, there would be a great fight for the last two spots. Holdovers, Poor Things & Maestro concerned with possible surge for Past Lives, American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest and May December.

     

    What a bloodbath we would have witnessed! I miss those times

     Thanks god we don’t need to witness that kind of bloodbath. I prefer flexible 5-10 slots. That give award watcher more suspense, not only about who get in, but also how many can slip in.

    Yep I am going to be old man yelling at the clouds too. You are not that goddam special people. If you can't go 2 or even 3 hours without checking your phones then don't go  to the movies. 

    If this happened we probably will net lose another one third of the moviegoers. Seriously I don’t mind people checking their phone. I can understand there are time they have to. But at least please dim phone while you are texting your urgent respond.

     

    One thing I have to agree in post-Covid era, society has since become less conscious of a tacit agreement at public space. While texting during movie is generally forgiven but somehow more are exploiting that tolerance without self-control. I have seen multiple times there are people checking their insta and twitter feed during the movie. Is that an urgent matter you have to attend during the movie?

    I wonder if Iron Claw even took A24 by surprise. Seems like they didn't anticipate the rave reactions it received, not playing it at any film festivals and only lifting the review embargo a week before its wide release.

     

    I don't think it is Iron Claw that took A24 by surprise. They worked with Sean Durkin for the Florida Project before. I think it is Past Lives that took A24 by surprise. That movie has a strange but deservedly long staying power that A24 has to seriously taking care of it after all.

    Maintaining a daily PTA of $900-1000 is pretty impressive, probably means it should hold onto most of those theaters until at least the 1/12. Should be around $35-36M by Sunday, which off a $2M weekend should be enough to reach $40M.

     

    Not only hold onto the current location. GKIDS show expand them back to above 1000. The same Wednesday in 2017 garnered $60m+ but this Wednesday is only about 60% of 2017's level. Surely there are plenty of underfilled halls should be given up to a better performer.

    The general audience is even more fragmented than before. 

     

    That is why I've been saying. It is not only streaming that killed theatrical experience. It is also the our society which has becoming more and more lonelist. I mean, why bother make a trip to cinema if you are ended up watching a movie alone there?

    Here's how the movies have increased/decreased from their Saturday numbers to Wednesday numbers:

     

    Wonka - +14.29%

     

    To be frank I was expecting more from Wonka after the whole "Happy birthday to Tim" trending on Twitter. 

  7. TCP tepid hold really screw up my $9bn hope for NA market. Wonka and Aquaman is holding pretty much like how it should be and there aren't any sizable surprise that can offset the shortfall. 

     

    Now TCP is again out of my Oscar's best picture prediction list. It was firmly in my top 10 but dropped out after GG snub but rebound after that 18m+ OD, but again slipped out after this tepid hold.

    To be fair, no demo other than Black 25+ women is showing...it could use any demo strength outside of that group... 

     

    This does not only happened to TCP. The WOM basically confined in the core demo.

    Earlier this year we have MI7 and DnD experienced the similar fate. No matter how great the WOM at the exit, the audience just aren't showing up in masses. There isn't enough of interest to move people going to cinema no matter how good they heard about the movie.
