RRA Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 1 hour ago, Legion of the Ten Crores said: Even if “people who pay for a max account of their own watch it on that instead” isn’t the only causal mechanism, it seems pretty clear between Macho Malignant Reminiscence TSS that Max releases are putting a real drag on movies. Some of that may also be account sharing, direct piracy, movies not “feeling like” events, or WB marketing less because the financial equations around marketing are different. FTR I used it for TSS/malignant/Reminiscence and will for Cry Macho next week. That’s 5-10 dollar tickets x4 not spent at the theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion Again Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 This would be kind of a dumb trivia, but I wonder what the most recent movie is to be #1 for each weekend in its month of release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie Jatinder Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 Mid day it was looking like 9.25-9.5, though that was quite early so could be bit off. FG may be 2.25M. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric found one more recently than I was expecting. Amusingly TA missed despite pulling 52% of the month because of MIB3 on the final weekend.

INT current markets will hit $200M. INDO & MAL probably $10M+. If AUS opens in time can try $450M WW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion Again Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Unless it really gets smashed by V2+NTTD I don’t see how it misses 230. And they shouldn’t hurt screens much since we have so much other chaff for them to take screens from instead. Mostly the PLFs could hurt a little.

DAJK Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Lol this week’s openers. My theater is literally “old white people” central (Kings Speech is the highest grossing movie of all time at this theater) and Cry Macho is bombing HARD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have something normal like Endgame/TFA as #2 at least or is it old white Oscar bait for a while? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
