Chapek staying is another proof studios really wanna go all in on streaming and forget the theatrical business, which sucks.

I thought we were promised by “insider” that chapek will be gone for sure? I guess blind optimism can only lead to blindness.

Theaters are not going anywhere, theaters have their own charm and experience, some flavor of the season streaming apps aren't going to challenge that.

 

But that's not too say that Streaming it's not an alternative, Infact certain kind of movies could very well be affected, but overall scenario, theaters will rule as they've always done.

Will studios ever realize that streaming content (at least for films) just has zero staying power? Whoever recently compared it to direct-to-video was on the money. To achieve true cultural penetration/longevity in public consciousness films are still reliant on theatrical release model.

Did The Black Phone and Maverick not get any T-Mobile deals? :( +7.5% increase for the former and +3% increase for the latter.

TGM still has the best 5th Tuesday excluding holidays but almost no bump for it?? I guess the biggest question it's Wednesday drop.

Ah is that why? Is T-Mobile the largest carrier in the US? Weird that deals like that could impact box office to such a large degree.

It's my first guess because these deals get you $4 a ticket, which is insane. Which is about 1/3 of regular asking price.

Fk? If you mean Fallen Kingdom, that film isn't directly comparable on Tuesdays with Dominion since prepandemic Tuesdays have much larger bumps on principle alone.

Ah I see that's cheaper than ticket prices here! Does this happen every month?

Every Tuesday I think

If this was the case then this should've impacted the box office in the previous weeks which wasn't really the case since most movies had similar bumps. Was the price today lower in particular?

Going by history, they usually have the best Wednesday drops and it was coming off of a smaller than normal Monday drop. @EmpireCity, thank you for all of your hard work.
