The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
Barnack replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
Is last 2 movie Lee produced&directed got 90% on RT, quite the drop, not that surprising from the trailers too. -
Not even you, despite bringing it up all the time and then never ever saying how it is important or novel or anything, like for 99% of your message. What the big difference between writing is own action vs storyboarding is own action or choreographing them himself like many current director with a stuntwork background. Will we ever know why that sentence is important, will you ever share your hindsight on it. Or will you type that it is important every 6 month with no comments.

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
Barnack replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
That one we need to not use our instinct, all Kevin Hart movies of that style (co-lead in a comedy, with a tall/rough person able to bounce back to is over the top style) did between 30 and 41.5m Has yet to go under 33m, that one is from the producer of Girls Trip, Haddish is hot right now, not really a reason to open differently than all is previous one. -
Paul Feig is domestic heavy usually: Worldwide (Unadjusted) Rank Title (click to view) Studio Worldwide Domestic / % Overseas / % Year 1 Bridesmaids Uni. $288.4 $169.1 58.6% $119.3 41.4% 2011 2 Spy Fox $235.7 $110.8 47% $124.8 53% 2015 3 The Heat Fox $229.9 $159.6 69.4% $70.3 30.6% 2013 4 Ghostbusters (2016) Sony $229.1 $128.4 56% $100.8 44% 2016 5 A Simple Favor LGF $42.6 $32.4 76.1% $10.2 23.9% 2018 For a reference it started at 1.6m pound in the UK vs Ghostbusters (£4.4m opening), Spy (£2.6m), The Heat (£2.5m), and Bridesmaids (£3.5m). Started at 1.5m in Australia vs 2.8 for Spy, 3.5 for The Heat, 4.4 for Bridesmaids. Half of that 140m, 70m, like Sandra Bullock did with The Heat and a better than 50% share would probably be a big surprising win for them, around 45-65m should be expected.

Even for someone with a tenure, that is quite something.

But in I can only imagine case they teamed-up together also: https://deadline.com/2017/08/bart-millard-i-can-only-imagine-movie-faith-based-release-date-lionsgate-roadside-attractions-1202148213/ https://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwtv/article/Lionsgate-to-Release-I-CAN-ONLY-IMAGINE-On-DVD-Blu-Ray-June-5-20180509 Distributed by Lionsgate Roadside Attraction It was a co-distribution with Liongates handling home ent also.
-
I can Only imagine was big domestic. Not sure how much they get for distribution deal like that too. They own 45% of Roadside and team up often with them/thermselves

That maybe more Nolan but it is a long running collaboration going on: https://variety.com/2014/film/news/bradley-cooper-and-todd-phillips-form-new-production-company-exclusive-1201181329/ In a major move for both Warner Bros. and the two A-list talents, Todd Phillips and Bradley Cooper are joining forces and have created their own production company, signing a three-year first-look deal with WB.

THE MEG | 384.8 M overseas ● 530.2 M worldwide
Barnack replied to kayumanggi's topic in International Box Office
BKB warned us.. I thought lot of the marketing was brilliant, so was the choice of a giant budget. -
Probably better for some to get everything started before the merger occur. Those are already on the cheap side for International SCI-FI action-comedy assemble spy movie with big Internationale release and giant 400m+ box office. Probably better stopping that chopping them and making them something else completely by and half the budget (that would leave much less than 50% of the below the line / what you seen on screen actual budget available, you cut more than half of the movie if you cut the budget and half, that why director something quit over 7M budget difference on large budget). I am a bit curious what they could do with this, maybe change who the movie is around with that high concept of the Kingsman, it is really easy for them to bring new characters.

It is a fuzzy list of show bizz power in the opinion of the THR staff, without clear criteria but it is usually around how much greenlight power you have in the industry: Methodology: During a months-long process, editors compiled the THR 100 based on the size and reach of a person's purview, the success of his or her projects since 2017's list, the power to get a project made (company ownership helps) and the ineffables: heat, clout and intangible indicators of influence gleaned from conversations with top insiders (not to mention THR’s daily reporting). It is all written right there if you click the link

Look at Hart past opening weekend he can hit 40M with 2,600 theater: https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=ridealong.htm https://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/?yr=2014&wknd=03&p=.htm Lot of is box office probably come from key area and little from say a lot of Canada and some other regions.

Moviepass and its Impact on the Box Office
Barnack replied to Eric Prime's topic in Box Office Discussion
Never totally happen, but would it get to be a bit niche like theater is right now. Kind of happened for watching painting, theater and going to the opera (that was a very popular medium at one point, with the working class going to them). Society will always need something for people that are not really at ease or want to talk to each other to be able to still do together, but it could become something else. That there still will be a movie theater experience as we can recognize it as such in the year 3,850 is not certain at all (even without some ecological or other destruction of standard of living reasons). -
Moviepass and its Impact on the Box Office
Barnack replied to Eric Prime's topic in Box Office Discussion
Hum hard to say, probably not before some major society / techno change: It is now an over 40b business, the double of what it was 15 year's ago (versus a 37% inflation): Would need the growth to stop, a decline to start and after that could still be couple of decades before it get to a niche level. The late 60s/70s were much rougher and "end of movie theater talk" than now (specially that the medium exploded those last 15 year's). -

Hard to predict long term, concession sales are so high because ticket price are high, in dollar theater the price are much much lower for food and drinks. Changing the pricing model could change for how much they achieve to price food. Short term should have a tick. AMC breakdown revenues for admission and concession, that was second quarter (3 month ending june 30): http://investor.amctheatres.com/Cache/1001240603.PDF?O=PDF&T=&Y=&D=&FID=1001240603&iid=4171292 Admissions $ 896.3 Food and beverage 445.8 Concession sales tend to be a bit under half of the admissions sales for AMC, if there is a noticeable change it should show up. -

Theater chain program has a big advantage over a movie pass, they pay the studio not the studio + theater, so the giant heavy user just cost them half of what MP would pay and they have the extra concession sales if they occurs.
