The Great Box Office Recession? -- Discussing the Up & Down Trends of the Box Office Market

If we are taling worldwide gross, I think inflation and the loss of a major market are going to have impact on the final total.

Seeing global markets if you make a must see film, people will watch it and it will smash records.

 

No way Home did 800 million during a huge pandemic wave. 

 

The problem is none of the films are must see films that are releasing these days apart from comic book movies much.

Things are looking up lately with Uncharted grossing well over 100 mil and The Lost City opening really well. The problem in March is studios were skittish and barely released anything. For some reason they decided to cram it all into April, much like October last year.

I think this is obvious: Covid has changed the world forever.

Short Term, I think the high inflation in the US is going to cut into box office.

I think the must see films will still be huge hits, but a lot of the more borderline films are going to suffer. The high inflation will cut into people's entertaiment budget. If you are single this might not be such a big thing, but if you have a family to suporrt. your movie budget will have to be cut back.

And the final world wide totals for the year will be intersting ,with one of the major markets bascially dying a quick death, and no signs of it coming back any time soon.
