Here in the midwest, every conversation starts and ends with talking about the storm. People are not showing up today and tomorrow through the middle of country, just not happening. Windchill will be -30 here in Milwaukee. That is low enough where everyone has cancelled their plans for the next 48 hours. Maybe won't shift the dailies but I would not expect A2 numbers to be good until after xmas.

I'm not sure why anyone worried about film animation, it's not like we're going to see Disney shut down WDAS and Pixar anytime soon. As Minions proved, animation can make hand over fist money if it's appealing enough. 

 

Regarding Puss in Boots, it's a sequel that came 11 years later and isn't a beloved classic. I'm adamant that a live action Shrek remake would make a lot of money simply because it's the story retold in a different medium and would be the perfect way to take on Disney's live action remakes.

Pleasant surprise this morning. My local theater switched some bigger screens from 3D to 2D compared to last weekend. In a few hours I’m checking out Avatar in 2D on the same screen where I saw Knives Out. Last weekend that screen was only 3D. Very good size screen.

This is one thing to take notice so people that don’t follow box office closely don’t freak out.

Who am I kidding, give us all the meltdowns.

I wish there was a good 2d screen for my showing. My second viewing will have to wait until I see it at home. I think you will like it!

Spider-Verse 2 is probably going to be a Titan AE-level flop.

lmao wat

Miles Morales as Spider-Man is today almost as popular as Peter Parker thanks to Into the Spider-Verse and the PS4 and PS5 games. Across the Spider-Verse will be the third Spider-Man film to make it over $1B.

super mario and spider-verse 2 will do well as fanboy properties. think Elemental and Wish should be sweating a little bit.

I think Sylvester is being a windup again. I swear they are always negative about everything being a flop or doomed.

I’m bookmarking this, Eric.

 

You are doomed to eat crow in 2023. Like Far From Home and No Way Home, Across the Spider-Verse will break $1B. More than double of what the first one did.

Kind of off topic but I just saw that Joker 2 has started filming but won't be out until END OF 2024. Why the long wait?
