Krissykins Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I’m looking forward to January. There are at least 6 films I really want to see. Compared to the two or three films I’ve been interested in the whole of November and December put together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookson Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Looks like Godzilla gets another mini breakout! Had one in Australia, now here. Very cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 What are the expectations for Aquaman? I’d say #2 behind Wonka. Even though my drive to the cinema seemed to be sponsored by Aquaman earlier: old school billboards, digital billboards, busses, bus stops. He was everywhere.

BFI IMAX is in the situation where 1 early show off Wonka is outselling the rest of the day with Aquaman. Godzilla's show on Thursday is 3x more full than Aquaman's solo show. It's going to be a brutal run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be a brutal run. It’s genuinely impressive just how badly this is going to perform coming off a film that made over a billion dollars worldwide. I know there’s been other DC films that have further eroded interest, but you’d think a sequel to a generally well liked original would be able to at least open well. This is just outright rejection.

You don't even have to look at the most successful sequels post-COVID. Only 5 out of the 22 sequels that passed $400M WW since March 2020 had less than a 4 year gap and only 2 of them (John Wick Chapter 4 and Fast X) came out after April 2022. John Wick Chapter 4 had a 46 month gap so it was basically a 4 year gap. Edited December 18, 2023 by BOfficeStats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
