Makes sense if it's pulled OS to not release it here as well. Article I just read said its the 2nd film there to be pulled with one named Jersey pulled from its date of yesterday.

It would appear they want it to release "worldwide" at the same time? Not sure otherwise, but its not the first date change for the film (from my limited reading.) Sucks since it was one of the small bright spots on the January calendar here in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the holdovers grow on New year eve from Christmas eve, except Encanto and Matrix 4, NWH (the gross is too big to post week-to-week gain) , now you know the power of streaming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I canceled D+ for lack of content...and I wasn't a cheap subscriber (ala the 3 year one) - I was paying full freight. It was worth one year, and now waiting til content builds enough to justify another year at some point... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure otherwise, but its not the first date change for the film (from my limited reading.) Sucks since it was one of the small bright spots on the January calendar here in the US. There are multiple reasons for the postponement. Some states in India already announced that theatres would be operating at only 50% capacity in next few weeks. Delhi even closed down the theatres completely few days ago. In coming days, few more states are expected to impose restrictions on movie theatres occupancy. Another major reason is that RRR is mainly a Telugu movie (not a Bollywood movie) and it's biggest market in India comes from 2 Southern States where Telugu is the main language. These 2 states alone are likely to contribute almost 50-60% of the overall Indian market for RRR. In one of these states, the state government is sadly playing politics and is having a fight against the film industry because the head of the state is an ego-maniac. The state government passed an order recently that brought down the ticket rates through out the state. In some of the movie theatres, the ticket rates have been reduced by almost 60-80%. The state government also said that they will not grant any permission for more than 4 shows. They recently seized some movie theatres which were not following these new restrictions imposed by government. Some of the movie theatres have said that it is not sustainable for them to operate at such low ticket prices. For Telugu movies, usually first day and first weekend is huge part of business and that's where distributors recover most of their money by having more than 4 shows and hiked prices on first weekend. The movie was sold at high rates to distributors in this state assuming that there will be more than 4 shows and hiked prices atleast for first 1-2 weeks. But because of this latest move from the government, even if the movie gets extremely good WOM, the distributors will never be able to recover the money they invested due to low ticket prices. The distributors already approached the RRR production house to renegotiate the prices due to this recent move from government but it's going to be hard. RRR crew is probably hoping that this state government will revert back these changes in next few months but I am not too optimistic because the head of the state is a freaking corrupted moron Edited January 1, 2022 by upriser7 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay so by that definition, No Way Home is only popular because of the past Spider-Man movies. Or any sequel to their respective predecessor.

BoxOfficeFangrl Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 4 hours ago, Cmasterclay said: Nothing has been dumber in the streaming wars than Paramount stumbling onto the biggest show on television, a Game of Thrones level mega-hit, and not being able to release it on its own streamer. I looked it up, thinking that can't be right. The first three seasons of Yellowstone are on Peacock?! The current season won't be on Paramount+ until after the finale? That's crazy, but explains why they're doing two spin-offs (besides the huge ratings). Brutal drop for Matrix Resurrections: fanboy rush, bad WOM and HBO Max combined for a real box office death spiral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticket prices in India are highly very high relative to rest of world and all that money is basically going to these stars. Fuck these stars. I want every state in India to cap tickets at ₹100.
