For sure, and I feel the same way.  

 

Sometimes I don't think a lot of people realize just how insanely restrictive things are for theaters and what a complete stranglehold that studios and others have on them in relation to what they can do with these multi-million dollar complexes that they have sitting there.  

 

In the United States, if you have let's say a 10 screen theater, here is what it takes to show content on screen and the hoops they have to jump through....

 

- Theaters must play any new release film they have booked as a "clean" run in accordance to a very long and detailed exhibition agreement with the studio unless there is a specific permission where a film is allowed to be "split".  It must adhere to "fair play" rules.  

 

- Any older film has to be pre-booked and has to be available to be licensed to play with express permission and in the format that the studio demands or approves.  Every single time, no exceptions.  The film usually can't be played until digital "keys" are sent to unlock it at the specific time it is booked for.  

 

- If someone wants to have a birthday party and show their little 8 year old girl and her 10 friends Frozen, lol good luck unless you can find a theater willing to risk hooking up a blu-ray player to the projector and hoping Disney won't find out and then punish them via pulling a new release or fining them.  Even if you pick something you can actually play like E.T. or The Polar Express, then it's going to be a minimum of $250 straight to the studio to have that birthday party watch it.  

 

- No tv shows, no sporting events, no anything can be shown on screen without the express written permission of the studio or producers.  

 

- According to the exhibition agreements, the projector logs could be requested at any time to make sure that nothing was played without permission.  

 

- If the theater wanted to put a movie on for their staff to have a fun night, it's technically illegal or breaking the rules unless permission is given.  

 

- If the theater breaks anything from fair play rules or forgets to put on a late show of West Side Story or skips playing Encanto on the opening night of Spider-Man, they they are subject to having their keys pulled, the movie taken off sale and having the entire run of the film charged at 80% licensing instead of 60%.  

 

- If a company wants to have their Christmas party and is doing a theater buyout and watching Spider-Man a week after it releases, the studio still wants to require theaters to ask for permission.  Nobody does, but they still have it in the rules.  

 

So anyways, to end the rant, you will hear a lot of stories or read articles of how movie theaters are trying to expand their offerings by doing licensed UFC fights or WWE Summer Slam or live comedy shows or having E-Gaming or whatever.  All of that is a great thought, but it's never really going to make an impact enough to work in the long run due to it being hard to build an audience for it and the cost and manpower it takes to run those things.  

 

Movie theaters need movies to survive.  Under the current rules, they not only need movies but they need theatrical exclusive movies to survive.  If anyone ever wonders why theater owners and NATO and others fight so hard to maintain theatrical exclusivity and why, then look no further.

As a manager at a movie theater, this is all 100% true AND A PAIN IN THE ASS

"India"

I shared a link of it making second highest opening day collection. Kindly check

[Shanks]

Those 32.67 Crores are Nett. collection. Please don't put Nett. Box-office results in this sub because people will misunderstand it and this sub deals in GROSS only, creating different result.

 

NWH did 42.5m Gross which is  5.6m USD in India.<--- (32.67 Nett + 30% Tax)

This is how media is reporting atm. Few reported 35 Cr collection's. 2nd highest MCU means higher than IW which collected 31 Cr. I'll check again 

[Anduin]

Correction 

 

41.5 Cr Gross 2nd highest MCU

It's gonna smoke LOTR unadjusted total within days. It's gonna smoke Titanic unadjusted. Avatar is within reach. TFA perhaps a bridge too far though I'm crossing fingers.

 Yep, this is why watching MCU movies the preview day/opening day/weekend is an event onto itself. the energized crowds.  You can also guess what scenes these reactions were for if you saw the movie.

Do we know what Spidey made in previews yet?

I can’t believe the MCU finally did Spider Man right after two bad movies and iron spider nonsense in avengers.

 

It wasn't that bad.

 

Ya'll really want Peter crying over Uncle Ben and having supervillian mentors for 8 movies.

[nguyenkhoi282]

It's early but i'm suspecting that NWH will make more in 3 days than the whole market in Vietnam did in 1 month after re-opening from a 7 month shutdown (Black Widow, Shang Chi, Eternals, Dune, Venom 2 and 5 other movies combined). In number around $1.5M (FFH did $4.8M lifetime in 2019). Shame that only cinemas in half of the country are open with 50% capacity limit, essentially translating into ~ 30% market capacity. Never happened before. Since the pandemic began it's either 0% or 100%. 

 

Can still make a play for all time top 5, but that's for later.

From Marketwatch…

 

”AMC Theatres said Friday the latest installment of the Spiderman franchise has set AMC box office records for December. The company said "Spider-Man: No Way Home," which opened last night across the U.S., was the highest-grossing film on its opening night for a December opening with about 1.1 million people seeing it at AMC cinemas.”

[wildphantom]

So AMC’s share of the previews is bigger than what they had with the $57 million Force Awakens did. 
 

So fair to say we’ve got to be over $50 million right? 

[wildphantom]

AMC preview numbers being a December record should mean $200 million is a lock
