Ferrari is doing domestically kinda similar to the Whitney biopic from last year, although the latter had to deal with the historic winter storm that hurt that whole Christmas weekend. Still, it's a reminder that even when it comes to topics like Whitney & Ferrari which both have huge potentials, it often depends on marketing which was almost non-existent and too "targeted". There was no hype that was built for either.
The good thing is that Neon "only" paid 15 mil for distribution rights and the movie got a theatrical run, otherwise STX would drop it on streaming.

Both Sandra Bullock Netflix movies would have been big hits.
Bird Box would be huge but the drama would struggle because of terrible reviews. That was a perfect streaming title.

Speaking of streaming titles, with how well Boys in the Boat is doing, I can only imagine how Midnight Sky would have done in theaters if released in this market.

It's like calling Saltburn a flop when it didn't recoup in theaters but was an absolute smash on Prime Video and even killed all of Netflix's big Christmas releases.

I dunno about Killers and Paramount but Napoleon made money for Sony considering it only had a distribution deal. And expecting streaming films to recoup in theaters is kinda dumb. They'll drive subscribers to Apple TV and that's their endgame qhen the green light was given.

Anyone But You will outgross No Hard Feelings and with no big star leading it. Quite the win for Sony.
The Iron Claw will also easily enter the A24 top 6.
I'm confident The Color Purple will have a healthy January and pass 100 mil too.

Remember when everyone was angry at Sony for not releasing ABY at Valentine's Day? Now they're laughing all the way to the bank...

So glad this is still popping a milli per day.

Don't forget TCP will have a nice MLK weekend boost and a barren January to still play. If it's lucky, it can even get an Oscar noms boost.

After now watching Saltburn, they definitely fucked yo this release. It should have been a slow burn expansion. Now that everyone is watching it on Prime, it’s all over Twitter. They went too wide too fast and didn’t give it room the breathe to get the discourse going.
They used the theatrical window as actual promo for the streaming release and it paid off big time imo. Saltburn crushed any Netflix release this past week.

This week had all the signs of being terrible but people still showed up. I think 2024 will do just fine, folks will just have to look elsewhere to find worthy movies other than the Disney domination.

I'm glad Anyone But You and Iron Claw are finding an audience. While the results are not anywhere near stellar, they're much better than expected...
Thrilled TCP managed the same number as Les Mis.

With a 35 mil budget, this will need to overperform big time in Europe to not be another money loser for Disney.

Prayers up for Ferrari and Neon...

Yeah, if a sea of people watch it on day 1 and like it, word will keep spreading. Not to mention the movie is also well positioned for MLK weekend.

Sean Durkin directing a non-indie drama, released wide during Christmas and turning a profit? So happy for my guy and Efron too. Only wish it had more of a presence in the awards conversation.
-
George Clooney's directing career does not need any more encouragement.

Is that Deadline number for Iron Claw right? Cause if so, that's another win for A24.
-
How many theaters kept Hunger Games: BOSS?
-
Ugh I really hope TCP manages a >15 mil opening day. All this build up with strong presales better deliver...

But no one watches a panned drama in theaters. It would be lucky to clear 10 million.
