  1. Don't know about Home Again, I can see it only opening at $5 million.
  2. You are looking for a fight, but I'm not going to bite. So let's just agree to disagree.
  3. Actually, It's not about LL's box office performance. The conversation is about questioning Soderbergh's skills or lack of skills as a distributor. That's something that needs to be addressed.
  4. Glad to see every movie in the top ten held up really good. The August movies are getting a chance to live a longer life because there is no big movie. The audience is getting a chance to checkout movies that been out three or four weeks. Maybe there just too many big movies that crowding out smaller movies.
  5. We are witnessing a cultural and technological swift. With the theatrical window is strinking and the creation of wide screen HD and 4K televisions more people are willing the wait less than three months for VOD and streaming to watch in the comforts of their homes. Every movie out right now is a "I'll wait for the video" movie, except Hitman's Bodyguard. That's not saying anything bad about these movies, these movies just lack a lot of CGI and big explosions. People want to wait to see them at home, rather than put up with other moviegoers bullshit.
  6. Soderbergh tried to pull a heist of his own. He put a commercial wide release label on LL. The problem is LL is really an artsy director cut movie, not a commercial movie with studio editing and treatment. 3000 theaters is too much for this movie, it would have been better served with two thousand or less theater. Targeting the rural areas is never a good move. Los Angeles, CA population is 7000 per sq/ml Charlotte, NC populations is 2500 per sq/ml Los Angeles average drive miles to your nearest theater is 4 miles Charolette average drive mIles to your nearest theater is 17 miles.
  7. If anymore thinks last weekend was brutal, this weekend hold on to your hats.
  8. Soderbergh is a winner and a loser on this one. His theory about distribution he prove right. The big question is, was it worth it?
  9. THB is basically an indies movie, LG only role is to distribute it in NA and the UK. Only the production companies can sell foreign rights. LG didn't produce THB. The writer said THB needs to make another $78 million to see profit, he wasn't referring to LG. He was talking about the production companies. LG will make a profit for THB, but the producers will see very little if any money. LG will get 50% ticket sell plus a 15% distributor fee before the producers see any thing. LG probably spent $35-$40 million for P&A, meaning the movie would have to make about what the article says. This is why Soderbergh retired and then came back to do self distribution. He was tired of directing and producing movies only to see distribution companies make out and he gets very little or no money. The money from Logan Lucky is coming from the theaters straight to the production companies, no middleman. This is why the big six studios are now distribution companies, that's where the money is.
  10. I'm just showing you my source, whether it's true or not is a different issue. So now show me your source?
  11. What's your source? This is my source: Finally, not to bury the lede or anything, but The Hitman’s Bodyguard was #1 for a second weekend. While it is headed for a final gross between $55-65 million in the U.S. it currently still needs another $78 million before it finds its way into profit. http://www.movies.com/movie-news/box-office-report-39the-hitman39s-bodyguard39-wins-even-with-challenge-from-harvey/23028?wssac=164&wssaffid=news
