Odeon is majority 3D and the local Cineworld is 24 3D (including IMAX, 4DX and VIP) and 18 2D. They’ve even got 7:30am showings which have sold a few tickets. It seems to be outpacing Black Panther in the premium formats so far. who would be crazy enough to do that?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s probably true actually, they opened about 5 or 6 years ago and at that point 3D was very much on the wane. Based on their past 3D showings, I’d actually bet that they only have two 3D capable screens out of the nine. They showed Avatar 1 in 3D/HFR back in September too, but Avatar 2 doesn’t seem to have the HFR listing next to it like the original did.

Ipickthiswhiterose Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 It's clear Disney has no confidence in the film whatsoever. Thing is it becomes such a confirmation bias issue: a movie flopping when you haven't invested any marketing at all validates that you spent no marketing on it. Conversely it is an original story and it 'shows' that original stories don't make money and so we have to go back to the franchise bucket. That said it's not a first, in fact it's an odd trend for Disney. Home on the Range, Meet the Robinsons and perhaps even more strikingly given the established franchise, the last Winnie the Pooh movie, are post-2000 Disney animated films that got absolutely no marketing whatsoever.

It definitely feels like animation became something primarily for Disney+ under Chapek, should be interesting to see if this strategy changes now than Iger is back.

This seems to be true of all films at the moment - a negative feedback loop whereby nothing (or barely anything) gets enough advertising, so it flops, so they cut the advertising budget for the next release and so on. Really disheartening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that was the first thing I’ve seen for it.

Heretic Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 Brits love a musical. Also this has 100% on RT so it must actually be decent… Wouldn’t be surprised if it legged it to near £20m as looks to be heading for a pretty good opening.

SnokesLegs Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Surprised Glass Onion didn’t make the top 5, it was packed last night near me. Unless Netflix aren’t reporting numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 MATILDA will be a huge hit. No other kids/Xmas films for families, will be the go to film in December. No reports for GLASS ONION. BONES AND ALL #6 with 52k Friday and 160k cume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKBoxOffice Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Netflix don't tend to report their films, so don't expect any figures for Glass Onion. Matilda looking strong today. As was said above, it should have a great run through to the New Year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
