There is a breakdown a couple of post above: They estimate it made 160-165m in profit but that 70m of it went to Krasinski, Blunt, Bay and co. 50% or so after some off the top removed from the deal profits going to actors/producer is quite standard for a low budget, high wattage names project. Some of the Blum project result seem to put some of the talent revenues in the studio profit line instead of participation (like Halloween), maybe because they own part of the movie.

Bigger the box office, bigger the total cost. The Karate Kid had a 315m total cost, with a 45m budget. For project like that, near 50/50 split of profits between studio and talent/producers is probably the norm.

That could be true, but it is not too documented what the movie looked like before the meddling, it is true that even if studio change make a movie worst there is little chance they would revert it, but from what was documented is cut got is chance in test and tested against alternative one and lost. I doubt it was some great director cut they decided to meddle a lot with. The issue with Suicide Squad were pretty much 1:1 with the issue with Bright.

Well obviously, how does one know if Captain Marvel would have not done -27/-28% instead of -30% if there was no new release ? It is a bit trivial, but less competition always mean better hold imo, it is almost impossible for it to not be the case.

What ? I never said anything regarding any drop prediction.

James Wan Aquaman

That pretty much what they are doing going from WW took a break from the war ending to the end of BvS to finally not so, the Joker set in a different world is right in that direction.

Guilds made very sure there is no such thing possible, I will imagine they will pay residual and everything on it like a regular movie. According to some ex-studio employees, it does not change much part 1 and 2 outside making some scheduling work better.

Isn't Wonder Woman 2 clearly breaking her BvS setup a good sign that the shared universe angle of them is on the back seat ? Same for all the "2" movies, I doubt Suicide Squad 2 and Aquaman 2 will feel much like a shared universe.

This the movie is maybe more family, but tracking indicating a very male+25 heavy audience, who knows, but it could play very much like an regular SH movie multiplier wise (or caugth on WOM style and have some family movie legs latter)

Going from Fury actions scene (for how bad some choice were in this movie, some actions scene were incredible) to Suicide Squad and the Netflix movie is quite something. Too short Pre-Production schedule ? That where many director work actually happen and shine.

Outside north america maybe, but he was used for jokes because people would catch the reference.

Is Guardian of Galaxy / Hancock adjusted the absolute worst case scenario limit ?

There seem to be of contradicting report, isn't talk of an over 100m oversea OW ?

I think we pretty much agree then, exactly it's competition level is really normal already taken into account, not that the hold would not be better if there was not any new movie ever released from last sunday to june.

When a giant movie that caused a big theater drop happened ? You cannot say it made no different to a no new release scenario using as a comparable an other weekend with 100m of new release. It was one of the worst drop of WW. You really think that in a world 0 new movie opened that weekend, that WW lost those theater, lose those screen and lose that same exact percentage (+/- 0.5%) ?

That one of it's worst drop no ? (And face quite the theater lost with despicable me 3 OW that week before) If no movie had opened that weekend, it would have not lost theater and probably had a better drop (dropped 30.7 and 32.4 and 27.5 the next 3 weekend for example). But like I said we rarely see giant stretch without any new relevant release for that kind of movie, being movie for pretty much everyone between 5 and 85, they always face competition and it's fully integrated in what common good/great/bad legs look like.

Maybe it would be versus an parallel universe with 0 new release, but those for everyone giant movie pretty much always have heavily shared demo opening against them week 3 when we think about what normal drop look like.

Yeah I am also not sure about it, SH play on a family movie continuum with the SpiderMan Homecoming being the most family, but even on that one family audience was a minority. This will play old male heavy like all of them, imo. I would not expect the under 13 to be necessarily above 18%.

Try to keep your prose consistent Like you said nothing new, I am sure when speaking/color/3D got popular in the 50s cinephile pushed anti progress views. Come with pro and negative, technology need to be better enough to catch on (and do very much when it is the case like colors, sound, editing etc...)

5,119,495 last Wednesday to 2,330,380 this week Wednesday would be a 54.4% drop, is that a particularly good week 3 type of hold ? The Nun did -51.4%, the Conjuring 2 -48.8%.

Would be better than Potter part 1 to part 2 finale boost (that would push EG close too, at 2.86b)

On the China box office board / china pre-sales thread I would always assume numbers are CBO and in Yuan unless specified otherwise (or obviously small if they would be Yuan for the movie)

There is many reason for that, but 2 major one is how disproportionately big for the toy, video game and home entertainment market are in the US. The United State represent only 4.3% of the world population, but represent a lot of the aftermakets: from the movie industry point of view: https://www.mpaa.org/press/new-report-global-theatrical-and-home-entertainment-market-reached-96-8-billion-in-2018/ Gobal home entertainment was a 55b market, 23b of which were from the United State alone (41%), while US+Canada together were only 28.5% of the global box office.

Was still an impressive 60% since Iron Man 3 I think: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/disney-backs-down-avengers-matinee-793694 For years, Disney wasn't as aggressive as other studios when it came to revenue splits with theaters. But two years ago, just before Iron Man 3 opened, the studio renegotiated its terms, and now it is getting as much as 60 percent back on its big tentpoles, like Avengers: Age of Ultron. That's in line with other big-event pics from rival studios. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-disney-theater-owners-avengers-iger-20150505-story.html Underscoring its growing global clout, Disney renegotiated its terms with exhibitors in 2013, allowing it to command a more generous cut of the box-office take on certain tent-pole pictures. The company will receive about 60% of receipts in the U.S. and Canada on the "Avengers" film.
