Im seeing people calling this and Killers of Flower Moon "the next Barbenheimer" and is that just going to be the new word for literally any kind of counterprogramming, something that absolutely existed before this summer

The Dark Knight vs Mama Mia would have been called Mama Knight if released today.

According to indie wire there is any exclusive but basically everyone can play the movie and every other chain will be add in the next weeks.

There are expected 4k + theaters.

Since we are missing exorswift, let us go with killerswift. October is suddenly looking great. Bigger than November for sure.

The movies flopping weren't her fault, but she really needs to do a better job at picking the right movies to be in. I know a lot of singers want to make the transition to actors but most don't work out.

 

Being a movie star and being a music star are 2 different thing.

 

For swift in particular she's famous for being a songwriters and a storyteller. Can be successful as actress in a very build role on her but even her fans i think don't care to see her doing the actress, something is not her narrative.

 

The success of this if something could tell us her directorial announced debut (a movie She also wrote) could really get her fans - people interested cause It's like one of her albums and something she wrote. And maybe being at least in the first weeks a big success.

This is such a cool development. I have zero interest in watching it, but we all thought we were settling in for a long, dark box office winter post-Barbenheimer, and out of nowhere comes this overwhelming shot of box office adrenaline courtesy of Taylor Swift. Awesome. We all woke up to like, a lovely gift.  

 

And imagine what a terrible morning this was for Universal and the Exorcist team. Good!

According to indie wire this morning there was like an earthquake in Hollywood, and some executives and producers are mad cause you can't announce such a big release just like 6-7 weeks before.

 

Honestly? I think Swift could have sold this to like Netflix or prime video for like 100M dollars. She choose the theaters and there is another possible big movie coming.

 

barbenheimer just showed there is space for anyone if people care about a movie. Nowadays If people don't care they just won't show up.  

 

More big movies are out better is for everyone.

Never underestimate the greed from movie theaters to make every last cent off moviegoers!

 

I will criticize all of AMC's shitty practices all day(as well as capitalism in general lol), but this genuinely confuses me.  

 

Like, of COURSE they are, why wouldn't they?  Is it really any different than exclusive merch you can only get by going to her concert?  I'm assuming this happens and that it's also very reasonably priced, lmao.

That's only because Barbenheimer is probably the most successful example of counterprogramming in Hollywood history.

2nd that. By hardballing WGA/SAG studios were effectively screwing up the theaters and this is them striking back at the big bad boys. If the suits dont get their house in order, theaters have to go other ways to make content that attracts the audience. This need not be just an one off.

Taylor Swift is creating a blue print that takes power away from the big major studios and that’s why they’re mad. 

 

But I will say very few people have the power that Taylor has to do what she’s doing.

Since Sony keeps re-releasing Across the Spider-Verse, I'd love to see them release the orchestra version of Into the Spider-verse they keep having shows for on the East Coast.

Interesting, though I can't help smelling a whiff of sour grapes...

The concert’s ticket prices are preset at $19.89 for adults, $13.13 for children not including taxes and fees. That’s unusual, if not illegal; distributors are prohibited from dictating tickets prices and it’s unclear what loophole might have been used here. That also violates industry norms of variable pricing for matinees, senior discounts, and different regions. Manhattan and Los Angeles theaters cost more than a small Midwestern town, but not here. Also disregarded are theaters’ benefit programs like AMC Stubs..

 

I mean, we just had National Cinema Day and also 80 for Brady did an $8 ticket promotion at some point, then "matinee all day" pricing. I guess the issue is really that the industry insiders weren't in the know weeks ahead of time and didn't get to give their two cents.

The thing is it technically isn't, because the double feature thing meant there was a substantial overlap in both audiences...which will not happen probably here. Especially if it drops off big in week 2

[XXR vs XXR]

I wonder what kind of cut Taylor is getting from the box office revenue. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was upwards of 75%.

[keysersoze123]

AMC would give her a great deal as its going to make bank on food sales but other chains may not give that good a deal as they are not the distributor here. Still she is going to get the biggest payout for any individual this year. It wont even be close.

[vale9001]

The exorswift could have been fun and somehow could have work. Both appealing to young people, pop products etc..

 

Between Scorsese and a pop concert (or any concert in general) i don't feel any connection. It's totally forced so won't happen.
