  1. For me going to the movies before cost about $40-50 in just tickets so owning a movie for $30 at home and which I can then use for family viewings with others just seems like a huge steal. 

     

    So I like Disney +'s model and at this point even with their Marvel movies they need to just rip off the band aid and release the films on Disney + under a premiere access. Holding on to the movies at this point is just dumb.And it's costing them more money holding them then releasing them.

    I do have to admit, at least at the domestic box office, I wonder how much of an effect COVID19 really had on Onward's performance. BOM's write-up pretty much sums up what I had been thinking before, that while Onward sorta underperformed this weekend, pretty much everything else posted numbers that were in line with, if not slightly better, than expected. 

     

    I don't think we can attribute fear around a virus as the main cause of 1 movie's underperformance when it doesn't seem like the rest of the (domestic) box office was affected too much. Sure, could Onward have done 41-42M under normal circumstances? Sure, but I don't think this would ever have done 55-60M+ OW honestly, virus or no virus. 

    I will say at least in my family we usually watch all the Disney new releases together and I asked them are we gonna go see this one and they said absolutely not.  They don't want to go anywhere with large crowds. We also live in Tampa where there are confirmed 5 cases of the virus.

     

    Instead we binge watched Love is Blind. The streaming services must be doing great numbers thanks to this virus.

  3. In all seriousness I think it's time for people including the president to see that this magically will not go away in April. This is not going away any time soon and the only way you can protect yourself is by washing your hands.

     

    The impact this has made to our global economy has already been seen. Look at the stock market crashing and in a positive way look at the significant decrease in pollution in China. 

     

    Until a cure is found, nothing is going to change. The movie theatre business is just one of the many businesses having to deal with the situation.

     

    I do hope though that many countries lead by what China, Japan, and Korea are doing. They pay the people they quarantine a living wage.

    Could Sonic end up doing as much as Detective Pikachu or more at domestic and ww boxoffice?! Impressive. The release date really hurt pikachu else could have done much much more.

    I don't think Sonic will perform well OS.  It's not a big property at all not to mention Asia is dealing with a serious health crisis and nobody is preoccupied with going to the movies. 

     

    Maybe South America may help but that was supposedly a big place for BOP and that didn't help jack.

    Bro your film has already had about 20 different director changes. And Detective Pikachu lifted the curse of video game films. Seems the only goal Uncharted has in mind is not to get made.

     

     

    Also his quote...

    Quote

     think what Uncharted offers that most video games films don't is that it's an origin story to the games,” Holland told IGN.
