Will there be any nonlinear financial bonus for Disney if Ralph gets to 200M? @Barnack, I feel like you seem to know a lot about this sort of thing?

Usually yes, for example that how much netflix paid for Sony animated title calculation table:

 

Domestic box office % of the BO rate Maximum in that range
$0 to $10,000,000 32.50% $3,250,000
$10,000,001 to $15,000,000 28.00% $4,650,000
$15,000,001 to $25,000,000 23.50% $7,000,000
$25,000,001 to $75,000,000 19.00% $16,500,000
$75,000,001 to $100,000,000 15.00% $20,250,000
$100,000,001 to $125,000,000 10.00% $22,750,000
$125,000,001 to $150,000,000 5.00% $24,000,000
$150,000,001 to $199,999,999 -    $24,000,000
$200,000,000 to +   $25,000,000

 

 

 

200m insteard of 199.99m was $1M bonus from Netflix on the US market, it will change for every market contract but they all tend to have round numbers type of bonus occurring at different level (and major awards winner type of category).

 

And that will add up over the year's for all the channels, platform and so on to be put in different category and in many markets (not just dom), lot of market seem to still use domestic (US-Canada) box office instead of their own for some strange reason to calculate that market tv/streaming value, could just be that the public reporting in their own market was not historically systematic and reliable enough to be used.

 

At 100m the jump can be significant enough that you can see studio estimating the revenues if the movie reach 99.5 and a 100m in two different row.

 

For example, After Earth

 

At 90.0 domestic and 175m intl, 265m WW : Expected life time revenues from international TV: 50.01m

At 99.5 domestic and 175m intl, 274.5m WW : Expected life time revenues from international TV: 50.01m

At 100 domestic and 175m intl, 275.0m WW : Expected life time revenues from international TV: 55.54m

At 110 domestic and 175m intl, 285.0m WW : Expected life time revenues from international TV: 55.57m

 

And when they made case of exact intl and just more the domestic performance, it was pretty systematic to see jarring jump around some numbers, mostly 100m-200m.

 

Elysium for an other example at 90M dbo it was a 40.44m on international TV, at 100M dbo at 47.17m at 110m going up only at 49.56m.

I still don't understand why Disney gave up on Christopher Robin so close to the $100 million mark. 

Some did look extremely strange like Rampage and got an explanation later on (simply stopped tracking on mojo for a while), I really wonder why for something like this, it is Disney after all they have the most powerful way to do it and this didn't needed some Wrinkle in Time level of push to do it.

 

Could be, choose the times you do it because if you do it too much buyers will change the rules kind of type or theater chain will get fed up with it and they do it for more boderline/need the push title.

So even if some movie might not get significant theatrical returns from China despite a significant gross there, the overall global and os gross that gets pushed up surely must be helping bumping up the non-theatrical revenue.

I never seen WW gross being use in a calculation, domestic and/or the specific local market in question (how much France TV broadcaster pay you use France box office and so on, but smaller markets often rely on domestic) gross seem to be what is usually relevant. It could have changed a bit since the 2014 leak, all of it did seem quite old school borderline archaic, bonus table often stopping at 200m dbo, really big focus on the domestic performance and so on, felt something that could have been going on unchanged since 1996.

 

Disclaimer: I did read maybe just 5-6 TV/streamers contracts deal from just the one same studio and never worked in the business, but it does match what you see in the accountant revenues estimates pattern also of most title and did sound quite copy-paste standard going on for a long time that could be pretty much the same from most outside Disney.

Nice holds will start ending next week - 4 wide releases Friday, followed by 3 more the next Wed/Thurs...so 7 releases in the 1 week period will cause 12 screen theaters and below to purge a LOT of holdovers...

Holdovers actually tend to get inflated grosses post-Superbowl even with many new openers. The PTAs barely drop or even rise.

In the battle of films with FIRED directors will BR push SOLO out of the top ten domestically for the year? Unheard of for a Star Wars film.

I thought VENOM would do it but fell tantalisingly behind. 

 

BR is looking at a 1.80 weekend for 208.54, 5.25 from beating SOLO. It's locked to do so looking at the run it's having last few weeks.

 

2019/01/04 11 $2,368,141 +1% 1,080 $2,193   $193,644,966 10
2019/01/11 11 $3,201,768 +35% 1,334 $2,400   $198,498,074 11
2019/01/18 12 $2,301,084 -28% 1,177 $1,955   $202,033,568 12
2019/01/25 14 $2,474,260 +8% 1,423 $1,739   $205,821,056 13

 

BR should go past AMW and even challenge MI6 depending on the Academy love it gets.

 

Talking about dom charts ITSV will go past AQP with ease pushing it out of top 15. ITSV will be 13 away using 4.2 weekend (Deadline is using 4.5). Would have thought 195 dom but LEGO2 and HTTYD3 will be strong competition.

Velvet Buzzsaw on Netflix is literally SHOWGIRLS level bad if anyone wants to watch it. 

 

Shocking dialogue. Shocking acting. I was howling with laughter at it. It’s a complete shambles. 

 

 

But... Showgirls is great.

 

Thanks for the recommendation though now I'll watch it :)

Showgirls is actually much better lol, I meant more in a these actors don’t know what they’re saying is funny because it’s so bad. 

 

Unintentionally bad and funny is what I meant.

SS had it's last great hold this weekend (-17.8%) : it continued to have good holds and but got removed while it had 1m in it's tank left.

 

Sep 16–18 7 $4,701,834 -17.8% 2,740 -363 $1,716 $313,774,166 7
Sep 23–25 8 $3,108,351 -33.9% 2,172 -568 $1,431 $318,131,694 8
Sep 30–Oct 2 11 $1,917,283 -38.3% 1,638 -534 $1,171 $320,857,912 9
Oct 7–9 12 $1,123,640 -41.4% 972 -666 $1,156 $322,547,564 10
Oct 14–16 15 $716,073 -36.3% 630 -342 $1,137 $323,676,752 11
Oct 21–23 20 $385,211 -46.2% 383 -247 $1,006 $324,271,174 12
Oct 28–30 24 $282,639 -26.6% 332 -51 $851 $324,673,191 13
Nov 4–6 25 $246,363 -12.8% 245 -87 $1,006 $325,021,779 14

 

SS added 11.23 more to it's run. AQM is looking at a similar weekend albeit after a deflated Sunday due to Superbowl. So it shouldn't have any problems getting to 335-336 while a couple more for 337-338 is possible.
