Weekday Thread | Here you go, Mikey! | Monday: KILLERS $2.04M, EXORCIST $0.47M

Uh... a weekday thread.

 

Daily Chart for Monday, October 23: https://www.the-numbers.com/box-office-chart/daily/2023/10/23

[mikeymichael]

Thankee, haha! How does that Monday number bode for Killer Moon?

[JustLurking]

Seems fine. With the runtime was expecting a lot worse.

[emoviefan]

That's a real good Monday for a 3.5 hour movie in October.

 

[abracadabra1998]

64% SUN to MON drop

 

versus:

Haunting in Venice: 66% drop

The Creator: 64% drop

 

Just a couple of recent, more adult-targeted releases. Obviously KOFM is a much more weekend-heavy movie with its runtime, so its second weekend drop should be hopefully better than these (55% for both). It's keeping IMAX as well, so hoping for an under-50 drop

[Krissykins]

Good Monday hold percentage wise for Killers of the Flower Moon. The films in 2nd, 3rd and 4th place are all available at home now though. 
 

Is Taylor’s film playing on Thursday again this week?

Yes, both this and next week (its final two weeks).

 

Killers holding up relatively fine during the week seems in line with the notion that retirees are a good portion of its audience.

[titanic2187]

 

Up 41% from Monday. Pretty ok for 3 hours+ movie.

Guess Apple does care about money... $6.99 to $9.99. Quite a jump.

Damn they wasted no time.

 

People arguing about saving cinema, and the sanctity/prestige of the Oscar’s and apple is just like:

 

”Nope mega bomb. Raise the prices!”

The more likely option is that they knew in advance Flower Moon would lose them a lot of money, so they arranged for this hike to happen right after its opening weekend.

It was probably in the works for awhile but they don't have enough content for that price outside of Apple devotees

Yeah I got a two month free trial at the start of the year and I was pretty much able to watch everything I wanted to see on there. They're probably still a couple years away from having a library actually worth a subscription.

Marty will not be getting 200M budgets forever. The streaming bubble has burst and everyone knows it.

Apple has infinite money, I have no doubt Apple will fund whatever he does next as they are trying to get prestige onto their service. They see it as $200m marketing for Apple TV+.

If he wasn't given those outrageous budgets he'd have thought of other ways to make those films for less.  The Silence went over budget but he still did it for $50m.  He can save cinema without paying DiCaprio & DeNiro 50m+ and maybe ask Nolan how to plan a budget.

[PrinceRico]

So now custermers half to pay for Apples stupidity because Flowers bomb.

Yeah, I struggle to find anything to watch on my free sub from TMobile - when that expires, AppleTV is joining my Max cancel from this month...

I'm actually not surprised. They've been beefing up content for awhile now and it's starting to show.
