People will watch Suits episodes and moldy old movies that bombed in the theater. “Superintelligence”, a Melissa McCarthy Covid HBOMax movie is currently #1 on Netflix here in the UK too.

A "B" is pretty solid for a horror film. What do we think, will this still leg out better than DotN regardless of Cinemascore since it doesn't have to contend with Omicron?

I can't tell you why without basically spoiling the novel but let's just say the major plot twist in the novle would be almost impossible to do on film. Why? Other films like Spoiler Memento, The Others and The Sixth Sense basically had the same twist or a variation of it. Though I think these BO results mean the end of the Branaughstache but if they want something Direct to Hulu then I'd prefer Cards On The Table or The ABC Murders to be the next entry.

vale9001 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) Disney will be ok. Pirates of the carribean 6 is coming. The Live action of Moana is coming. These are the movie everybody asked for. Oh of course we're gonna get a new star wars movie exactly looking as the same tv series you get on disney plus. I'm so exctided about all these things! 🙄 Edited September 16, 2023 by vale9001 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck Disney. Fuck Netflix. Fuck the studio that shall not be named. All these movies also both predate D+ and the Florida mess and a host of "1000 cuts" issues (hardball with theaters, rapid price increases across its products, Kang, etc). So, at some point, the question has to be - can Disney not sell these movies or has Disney just permanently lost some portion of audience for its movies that no other studio has? A few here for one thing, a few there for another, and pretty soon, you have 25% of your previous "always there" audience just refusing to ever show up, and you can't point to one exact reason why b/c it was a 1000 reasons that all eventually added up. Losing market share from the 30%s to the 20%s from one decade to the next is not a small loss of audience. Yes, yes, you can say they had less popular and easy to sell product, but at the end of the day, is that all that market share loss is?

M37 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Hadn't really been following recently, looking at projected total gross for some of the later summer films now that the runs are winding down: Barbie ~$645M (or more, depending on IMAX week) Oppy ~$325M Indy ~$175M MI7 ~$173M TMNT ~$120M Some of y'all need to chill a bit with the doom and gloom after a "below expectations" opening and/or excitement in projecting forward 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
