Just ok limited expansion for Anatomy of fall. Not that much different from sadness last year. Even with fantastic 93% verified audience score, I am not sure if this can hit 5m. Still an awesome number for a two-third non-English movie but I was hoping more because the American trailer or marketing mostly “hide” away its non-English dialogue. 

It's coming out at a bad time, and the NYFF screenings were all sell outs that took away 75k or so from the film's box office. I still need to see it but the current showtimes + runtime don't make it a convenient watch.

I haven't seen any marketing for this tbh. Which usually tends to be an issue with marketing campaigns that are pretty much exclusive to social media.

y'know there's a lot of limited series i've watched and thought "this could've just been a movie" but i've never watched a movie and thought it'd be better as a limited series.

How exactly would KotFM work better as a series? 

[Day and Date The Best]

It works well as it is. Is an ad for apple tv.

Just out of curiosity.

 

3 female driven movies (70 to 80% female audience) The Little Mermaid, Barbie and The eras tour have now made and incredible 1.065B domestic this year.

Waiting for Hunger Games and Beyoncé.

Females are an untapped audience. They will certainly show up if an appealing blockbuster is aimed at them.

Now you've got me thinking, b/c I have watched a few movies like that, where so much was packed in...

 

For the most recent example (and I hate that it's Marvel), but Eternals would have been MUCH better as a limited series.  I thought that while watching it b/c there was just too much backstory, too many characters, and too much rushing to get everything needed for the greater universe "done"...it was like the reverse of most of their early D+ series...

Can Imagine Wish will be female driven too?. But probably with a split of like 60-40 or 65-35.

Yep the trades are going easy on this one, “impresses” with $23m. 

[Taylor89]

32m for eras tour for second week is really great.

Yes. lol. I hope they do the same to Beyonce..

The cinephile crowd rushing out immediately clearly led to some frontloading for Flower Moon with that 13% Saturday drop. Still, given the state of the adult drama circa 2023, could've been a worse launch for it. Let's wait and see what staying power is like first.

[vale9001]

Over 50 americans don't watch movies anymore. Why? The 3 smashes from july to now (Barbie, Oppenheimer and TET) made money because of young people. And even Scorsese audience is very young (not because in this case is very popular in the target but because old people didn't go so the few young are still the more).

 

In my country this is opening with a very solid first weekend (1/10 of US when the market is 1/30), last Agatha Christe Poirot sold more tickets than Guardians 3. This cause old people still go to theaters, not only the young.

23M is not a good opening for a 200mil non Christmas release. That's okay though because Apple knew the film was never making money for them at the box office.

[WittyUsername]

If those numbers for KotFM hold and it has solid legs then I’d take that as a somewhat reassuring sign for the future of adult cinema.

The older set never really turned up for Scorsese films en masse. 10 years back, there were a lot of reports of older men dramatically walking out of Wolf of Wall Street screenings.
