Must be that because it is not playing anymore today....

Shazam reviews are just out ? Wasn't that movie already in theater ? for a good while, I think I saw ticket time in a theater near me passing.

And it very rarely coming out of the mouth of very successful people.

I would imagine there was almost no link between the 2 right, that about no one bought a comic books in the 2000s ?

Like or hating a movie is not an opinion (that a day to day language shortcut), it is a taste, no one would ever try (outside in a joky way) try to convince you that you like chocolate if you do not like it. Opinion is somewhat different than taste, the way to distinguish opinion from taste, to be an opinion it must be possible for it to be wrong, it could be almost impossible to determine it or highly subjective, but must be possible to be wrong. For example: 1) I like that humanity accomplished the mission to go to the moon. (taste) 2) It was a net benefit for humans to go to the moon (opinion) I would not go over all the discussion (but maybe I will), but is it possible that it didn't started with a : Back from US, didn't work for me. But someone expressed what he perceived issue with the movie and people arguing over are those really significant issue, bad artistic choice, etc.... Quote ? Was it someone saying: you has someone that liked Movie 43 should stop expressing yourself on message board, everything you say is useless pollution knowing your taste or you person that like Movie 43 should know how taste can vary a little bit (using movie 43 for a movie I liked very much that people in general seem to have deeply hated)..

Has anyone ever did that ? Because yes stop them, but I doubt that ever happened

What does that mean, does anyone think they were no empty seats in an over 10,000 screens release ?

It is a good amount (Top 2 gun code named island plaza in that document is at 98m) for just below the line in just one state, but it does seem 100% shot there: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1950186/locations?ref_=tt_ql_dt_5 The 17m expected tax credit will make up for a goot part of the above the head and others not included in that 78m to keep net around 100m if not a bit below. Rush lower budget did show a bit if my remember are not too fuzzy. Example of movie that would have maybe be cheaper (depending of how high people are paid and so on on this) Gross budget Magnificent 7: 107.6m Ender Games: 102m Expendable 3: 100m Abraham Lincoln vampire hunter: 99.5m Jack Reacher 2: 96.2m Power (a Netflix movie): 85.117m 22 jump street: 84.5m

Never encountered anyone giving the first impression that they had the first beginning of love for the 20 Century Fox corporation, I never seen anything ever giving the impression of anyone loving a studio except for Disney/WB, outside people that grow up on the lot or something like that. The man is ever more behind of a bigger Fox News now than he was before and the fact that the man behind Fox news let the Simpsons do what they did for this long, Family Guy, etc... seem to indicate very few days to days type of relevant control, I am not fully certain, the men is about to die anyway.

That changed since, they now have one: https://variety.com/2018/film/news/california-production-tax-credit-extension-2-1202827244/ 2017-2018 Ford v. Ferrari Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation Feature Film Non-Indie 67 6518 300 76 $ 78,153,000 $ 16,956,000 78 million in CA qualified expenditure, probably a bit above 100m gross budget would not be surprising here.

Because it is people fighting with cars !!! Maybe still be a bit inferior to some Asian action movies. but no subtitle for US audience making it popular.

Well no, this : https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/dec/19/new-zealand-merger-print-media-companies-blocked-high-court https://www.stanfordlawreview.org/online/has-the-obama-justice-department-reinvigorated-antitrust-enforcement/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempted_purchase_of_T-Mobile_USA_by_AT%26T#Regulatory_review_and_Antitrust_concerns_(DOJ_&_FCC) Would have done it. It is extremely common for capitalist society to block acquisition or merger, specially from foreign company but also local. Do you remember European commission made Microsoft remove Internet explorer from windows ? I imagine you are just trolling like always.

Americans have not been much laissez-faire capitalist for a long time and much less that it is sold outside the world, they are ultra interventionist in this type of stuff.

The fact that some media and even we call it a merger, when it is a pure acquisition https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/021815/what-difference-between-merger-and-acquisition.asp Merger are quite rare (but does happen) and when they happen the stocks of both companies are surrendered, and new stocks are issued under the name of the new business identity like when Time Media and Warner Communication combined together and merged into Time Warner, this is really not a case like that. What is common is a company outright buying another one getting full control and the media miscalling it a merger. Touchstone does not exist (didn't had any office space or employee) and didn't made anything in a very long time, it was purely a logo-accounting shell sometime used for a while before being stopped to be used completely.

One thing that could easily change in just 5 months (more than habit), is how many theater use Fandango and how much integration/platform use it to sales tickets, that one reason those records call are so common, they buy competition/get more chain to use them over time. For example: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180530005213/en/Comcast-Fandango-Launch-Voice-Activated-Movie-Ticketing-Experience https://variety.com/2018/digital/spotlight/fandangonow-furthers-company-mission-movie-access-1203080094/ https://www.marketwatch.com/press-release/amc-theatres-joins-with-fandango-and-atom-tickets-to-make-online-ticketing-for-amc-stubs-a-list-even-more-convenient-2018-09-17 https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/fandango-becomes-the-largest-online-movie-ticketer-in-latin-america-signing-multi-year-deals-with-cinemark-cinepolis-national-amusements-and-cinemex-300734798.html https://www.boxofficepro.com/fandango-partners-google-assistant-solo-ticket-sales/ 5 months ago fandango Now didn't exist, 10 month ago you could not buy fandango ticket via your comcast cable box. A big possible one, it seem you can buy ticket for "free" on fandango if you link your amc-A list membership account to it, now it seem ? All those change make comparing fandango sales over time quite difficult, would need an how many screen/feature adjusted numbers.

Yeah exactly this, for those a bit more niche but still big title, using a city could be misleading. https://www.thewrap.com/oscar-movies-popular-states-voted-trump-la-la-land-hacksaw-ridge/ In some place in Texas/Wyoming I imagine people thought Hell or High Water was huge

Could be a really market by market things ? In mine, no comparison between this and Halloween, would it need be of the Internet I would have not know this was coming up. While Halloween was giant (the older adult just didn't made has much buzz noise by capita I would imagine).

5m would keep 57-60m alive.... ? One of the biggest OW for a live action movie without any book/popular persona biopic/events/movies-game of all time ? Below Inception, prime Will smiths/Jim Carey movies, 2012/days after tomorrow and Avatar. If it displease the it is just fun to watch the horror movie in a crowd and drop a la Blade Runner it could end up in a deception, but over A Quiet Place OW, would be the hell of an opening.

They I think didn't even had a Wikipedia page. There was absolutely no brand value for sure, no one knew about it's existence, it is really the personal / infrastructure closed that matter here.

Yeah should probably average the 2 year;s for the end of year release (and should remove the title in question from it, a lot of WW BO around Avatar was Avatar), but 2016 global BO was almost the same has 2015.

According to this: https://www.movieinsider.com/c352/fox-2000-pictures The Art of Racing in the R... 2019 September 27, 2019 Breakthrough 2019 April 17, 2019 The Hate U Give 2018 October 5, 2018 Love, Simon 2018 March 16, 2018 Hidden Figures 2017 January 6, 2017 Keeping Up with the Jonese... 2016 October 21, 2016 Joy 2015 December 25, 2015 Alvin and the Chipmunks: T... 2015 December 18, 2015 Bridge of Spies 2015 October 16, 2015 Paper Towns 2015 July 24, 2015 Poltergeist 2015 May 22, 2015 The Longest Ride 2015 April 10, 2015 Night at the Museum: Secre... 2014 December 19, 2014 The Drop 2014 September 12, 2014 The Fault In Our Stars 2014 June 6, 2014 Some project they start could shift to other branch during the process too I would imagine.

Was Liam Neeson in the role at the time, for a western with that target audience not that obvious which was the better pick. The hack occurred right when they were talking with Pratt and they sounded excited about it obviously, not sure how much of a game changer it was perceived to be, didn;t change the budget at all for example.

Way less redundant imo and more probable.

Also that give credence to my opinion to not take all that pre-merger talk like that one, too serious: https://www.wsj.com/articles/its-getting-awkward-at-foxs-movie-studio-as-disney-deal-looms-1533906010 Two Fox movie divisions are likely to survive, though. Disney CEO Robert Iger has publicly touted Fox Searchlight, which makes “prestige” films like last year’s best picture Oscar winner “The Shape of Water” and Fox 2000, which specializes in literary adaptations such as the teen coming-out story “Love, Simon,” which came out earlier this year. Everything is on the table, specially when the getting close to 80 year's old employee during the merger retire and get replaced, but even with them still in place, they will learn a lot more stuff and during discovery could see opporturnity to shift things (or just have lie since the beginning, because of how long the process can be, you do not to have too long of time people running death asset).

I think some would be surprised for the studio expectation on this, on the leaked e-mails they had in mind: DBO $85M IBO $65M April 2016 U.S. Release date Exclude MGM territories It did: Total Lifetime Grosses Domestic: $93,432,655 57.5% + Foreign: $68,927,981 42.5% It was planned at $75M net and it ended up 107M gross with a 30M Louisiana tax credit, I imagine with the other jurisdiction it ended up pretty close if not a bit under, that significantly higher than Equalizer 63m Net but (11-15M higher) but not that different. So I am not sure it ended far from the internal projection has a deception at all, or exactly what they expected. The maximum ceiling was thought to be about 225-245m for an Denzel western like that. Denzel never reached 200m ww since is movie with a peak Julia Robert, I am sure the expectation are in line with that, Denzel often get 9 figures budget because of how reliable he is, but they do not expect big ROI. A bit funny way, Sony expected 180m (100m dom, 80m intl) on Equalizer, Denzel work like clockworks. Passenger movie certainly would make my personal top 10 deception (the movie itself, not just is BO, when the movie do not deliver it make the BO not delivering less of a "deception" in a way, it does not destroy the hope of the next similar project could work, same for a Valerian. In that sense, The Nice Guys box office was quite the deception to me, good reviews, OK movie, great trailers, but probably not for the industry, someone that worked for WB UK marketing said that it will be an other kiss kiss bang bang with probably a small jump from it because of the studio marketing money. Solo/Justice League of the 2010 is hard to beat. Middly and in a different way, but Edge of Tomorrow ? If that what a 180m budget PG-13, Liman/Blunt/Tom Cruise movie with a 90% rotten tomatoes score helped with good summer legs with one of the easiest to sell high concept do (100m dbo, 370m WW), how hard it is outthere ? (that put Alita number in perspective)
