Mojoguy Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 August really needed a tentpole to anchor the month which is why I feel Covfefe moving was a mistake. Why did people start calling it Covfefe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theaters have been most affected thanks to studios putting out movies people don't want to watch. Which is the entire reason I still don't buy the "OS grosses will ensure franchises continue" argument. Domestic theaters are affected greatly by franchises which are on the downswing continuing and there will definitely come a point when theaters will want to renegotiate terms with studios per movie instead of their entire slate, especially for aging franchises.

Theaters would be signing their own death warrants by allowing studios to release on demand early. I can't believe that wasn't shut down immediately by exhibitors. Are they really that stupid?

Would have had better legs and a potentially bigger OW as well sans any kind of competition. After Dunkirk, it is like Hollywood decided to call time on this summer. No huge tentpoles scheduled till Kingsman in mid-September post July 21. October is somewhat better than August. Yeah after Dunkirk, can't wait for November to come soon enough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakiyyah6 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 The Summer schedule was weak besides a few films. Have no idea why studios are still mostly avoiding the first weekend of August. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WW weekday hold above $1M (straight days) has to be in the top 5 (worse 10) movie of all time I would think... I can only think of 3 or 4 others (TFA,Avatar,Titanic,IT), but someone can verify...

No huge tentpoles scheduled till Kingsman in mid-September post July 21. October is somewhat better than August. I can't really agree with this. The problem isn't tentpole scheduling, so much, it's just that the vast majority of the movies haven't been appealing. Keeping Alien in August might have had it do slightly better, but it wouldn't have turned it into Suicide Squad. Or even half of Suicide Squad. And it's not as if it was facing some hefty competition in May. So far this summer, we've had two films do about what's expected of them (GotG2, Spidey), 1 film do sub-par but still respectable numbers (DM3), two films do quite a bit better than expected (WW, 47md), and basically a bunch of stuff that's done numbers ranging from disappointing to atrocious. Anything that's slotted into that lineup that's even halfway appealing should have done well. Alien, regardless of reviews, wasn't appealing. The early OS release allowed the word to get out that it was in line with Prometheus, which didn't help, but WOM wasn't going to take off regardless of release date. And actually, late summer doesn't look so bad. We've got Apes, Dunkirk, Girl's Trip, Atomic Blonde, The Dark Tower, Detroit, Annabelle, The Hitman's Bodyguard, and Logan Lucky coming out over the next month or so. While I don't expect all of them to do great, it's looking like a stronger overall lineup we've had for a month period earlier in the season. If there's one film that might have benefitted from a release date change, it's probably Valerian. Though I honestly don't know if it would make a big difference. It still wouldn't get IMAX. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or have less tentpoles and more lower-budget movies aimed at appealing to different segments of the market...not every movie in the summer has to have a 1000 effects and a $200M+ budget... It'll be interesting if the best summer month ends up being the one with no tentpoles...allowing tentpoles some "catch up" and littler movies to find their audiences... I mean, most families can't go every week to the movies...mine is already behind on our viewing and we're gonna be in the catch up group all this month and then I may need to add July movies to my August viewing:)...

Zakiyyah6 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 So I'm projecting Spidey to play out like this. 15.05mil 9.8mil-35% 8.9mil-9% 14.2+60% 19.2mil+35% 15.2-21% Weekend Total: 48.6mil-58.4% Of course my projections will change when the real numbers come in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
