Fake Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Two Analysts Project Slight 2012 Box-Office Growth Driven by Higher Prices I 'project' that 2012 will see another decrease. Total gross might not even cross $10B mark. Attendance will be down the toilet with total attendance going below 1250m mark for the first time in 19 years.

AniNate Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) The relative lack of films on the schedule may work to the blockbusters' advantages, but I don't see it being a huge breakout year Edited January 3, 2012 by tribefan695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Wow, he puts MDGSCRIII as a top performer, MiB3, THG these are 130M-250M movies. I would replace these with The Bourne Legacy, WotT/JC and Huntsman also Skyfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tawasal Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 2011'S Total Domestic Box Office Falls Short Of 2010'S TallyMost exhibitors will tell you that the movie business is cyclical. With that in mind, there's no reason to panic about 2011 being a down year at the domestic box office.2011 was behind in a big way from the very beginning. 2010 benefited immensely from the fact that Avatar, a film released in December 2009, made more than $380 million during the calendar year. Since an Avatar-level blockbuster doesn't happen every year, it's no surprise that 2011 simply wasn't able to catch up.While there were plenty of duds released in 2011, it's unfair to label a year that produced three billion-dollar worldwide hits—Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2—as a complete disappointment.Without further ado, here are the estimated stats:January 1 - December 31, 2011: $10,180,000,000January 1 - December 31, 2010: $10,570,500,000Total Decrease: $390,500,000, -3.7%Estimated Attendance Decrease: 4.5%Avatar made 477m alone in 2010. 2010 will have 10,093,000,000 without Avatar.

tawasal Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 When will 2009's 1,412.7 tickets sold be topped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hollywood doesn't get it. They need to start cutting prices rather than increasing them.The article mentioned estimated price hike to $8.12, if this happened the BO recession will continue into 2012. The greed is killing the movie industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I agree. Lower ticket price might also result to more repeat viewings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) If they follow this guy's advice, I doubt we'll be seeing any ticket price changes soon http://www.deadline....ebound-in-2012/ He dismisses another theory: that tickets are becoming too expensive. If that were the case, he says, then we would have seen soft numbers throughout the year — instead box offices set records in Q2 and Q3. And that's true. April-September was actually quite good last year. It was the first and last three months that really stunk.

Captain Craig Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 ^^^Ditto.I would go to more movies if the prices were reasonable.IMAX is $17.00Real 3-D is $14.00It's $11.00 eveningFor $8.00 matineeIf your lucky enough to catch the 5 oclock show for $5 good for you but that doesn't work for my schedule.

AniNate Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Still, most of the summer blockbusters performed to expectations. Until tickets are down on a consistent basis, I doubt we'll be seeing any price decreases.I think we should focus on why it was specifically the 1Q and 4Q that did poorly. 1Q is understandable because there really weren't a whole lot of good choices, but this holiday season was loaded with good films and only MI4 really broke out.

AniNate Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Well, now with The Devil Inside opening big, both the crappy movie and the ticket price argument kinda take a hit Edited January 7, 2012 by tribefan695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 But the appealing argument wins again. If the movie is appealing, people will see it. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) It annoys me that people still fall for studio trickery in drovesBut it is the truth. If the marketing campaign/trailer are appealing, people will go and see the movie in droves. Quality doesn't matter in OW. Ticket prices won't matter either. The movie just needs to look good and have an appealing marketing campaign. Something studios are not doing in the right way with most movies nowadays.

AniNate Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) I know, but everyone who can afford to see a movie surely has the Internet at their disposal these days. The midnight crowds I can forgive since there were no reviews up yet but anyone who saw it last night could've guessed it was crap if they just searched it on Twitter.

CJohn Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) I will explain something... I have already read the reviews. The movie is a POS, no doubt. But the marketing campaign is just awesome. I have to see it to believe. And I will see it as soon as it opens here. I have been planning to see this movie in the minute I saw the trailer. Critics won't stop me. Same thing happenind to everyone that was planning to see it. And teens usually don't read reviews.
