So if this becomes a yearly back to school tradition it probably wont affect much. The Shang-Chi example and the lack of even a semi-major film this year, was kinda my point. In that, we probably won't see a big or even medium sized film ticketed for LDW in the near future if this becomes a thing even though it's clear that the aversion to putting a big film on that weekend is just silly. (also might see a lack of a super big film the weekend before if studios are extremely gunshy about second weekend drops) Then again, maybe this will be such a smashing success that medium sized films (30m to 50m openers) might be more willing to take the plunge.

Eric Quinn Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 I mean aren't we getting Equalizer 3 on Labor Day next year? Like yeah obviously it's not Marvel, but it's still the biggest pre-Shang-Chi deal this weekend has seen since like the Rob Zombie Halloween movies. They're putting in the work.

Well, if it stays there then we'll have a start to the answer as to how studios will view this in regards to, say, 30m to 50m openers, sure.

Besides, in overseas discount days have bring loads more people to cinema than a film would have on normal day. The increased admits makes up for discounted rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 In Spain, Portugal, France, etc, this type of deals is once a year and it actually lasts 3 days, usually from Monday to Wednesday, and it boosts admits like crazy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Shang-Chi last year proved that the final weeks of summer don't have to be a total wasteland, but now that the world is officially back into the swing of everything (in addition to marking the end of the summer movie season, Labor Day weekend is when Hollywood shifts its attention to the commencement of Oscar season via the festivals that typically start around this time), we've returned to business as usual.

Sometimes, take the L 100M was definitely a lot dumber take than 156M after a 44M opening weekend. 120-130 however was always the likely end.
