The last two Halloween movies were Telekom Peacock day and date with theaters. I’m not talking about any kind of PVOD, any Peacock subscriber could watch them. I guarantee you this cut quite a bit off of the ceiling for Kills, and the opening for Ends. Ends’ BO would’ve gone to hell regardless after that first weekend just because of how divisive it is.

If anyone is still keeping track, it looks like Top Gun Maverick passed Avatar 2 in daily’s yesterday…

I saw Cocaine Bear. Thought it was an enjoyable enough movie. The theater was probably about half full and the rest of the audience seemed to enjoy it as well. The numbers so far are looking good for the type of movie it is.

My local AMC is giving Cocaine Bear Titanic’s screens. I don’t know how widespread that is though…

Titanic, in terms of its performance and phenomenon relative to its time, is the movie that every other film wishes it could. It is also a perfect example of why films should be seen in the cinema. I’ve probably seen it 100 times, but there is still something powerful and unique about seeing it in theaters. It is the absolute zenith of what cinema can and should be…

I doubt it with the loss of what PLF showings it has left. But, then again it wouldn’t be the first time this film surprised me…

There are only a couple of Regal cinemas around me that have regular 2D showtimes. Otherwise its all 3D. I think it’s probably like that everywhere…

So this rerelease talk got me thinking: Does anyone know if there is a place to find the box office data for films that were rereleased during the 2020 Covid shutdowns? I’d be interested in seeing what films like Back to the Future, Empire Strikes Back, Goonies, and some of the other childhood classics that played during that time (that I went to see) actually made. Most places you look, their grosses are the exact same they were beforehand…

I personally think it’s typical deadline lowballing, but we’ll see. It will definitely be interesting to see Avatar’s hold. I don’t know about other places, but it’s PLF showtimes we’re hit HARD by both Titanic and Magic Mike…

I don’t know, all the ladies around here you ask which film they’d rather see this weekend, it’s Titanic. I know it’s anecdotal, but none of my wife’s friends are interested in Magic Mike…

Locally, it lost its AMC PRIME screens and Cinemark XD screens completely. At B&B it is down to only two shows on one if it’s Grand Screens: 12:30 and 10pm. I don’t know how widespread this is, but there is some evidence to suggest that it is losing considerably more than just the Dolby Screens.

My guess: people had to go to work. Plus no school holidays.

Plus it loses at least all of the Dolby screens to knock at the cabin due contacts with Universal. I wouldn’t be surprised if it also loses at least some of the showtimes from Cinemark’s XD and anB & B grand screens as well. It’s possible the loss of this many PLF screens will have a bigger impact than a lot are anticipating.

That was about the poorest officiated game I’ve ever seen. 1) A ref at that level in that position should know not to wind the clock after an incomplete pass. 2) The one blowing the play dead should’ve kept coming in to stop the play until the play actually stops. 3) There was a missed block in the back on that last run back. 4) Some of those holds in the first half were questionable at best.

I think it will have a sharper drop next week than what you have penciled in just because it’s losing a decent amount of PLFs.
