JustWatching Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 1 hour ago, Valonqar said: Unironically the most boring boxoffice in a long time. Nothing breaking out nor flopping super hard, eevrything doing average numbers. Fine runs are just fine, bad runs are bad but not abysmal. It's a very mediocre season showing that people won't show up in big numbers just because it's holidays. Well, at least as far as Christmas week went, they showed up in pretty good numbers compared to last year. https://deadline.com/2023/12/box-office-christmas-week-aquaman-2-wonka-1235683131/ Personally I like this kind of year better than one with a big tentpole, because you have choices if you aren’t into whatever the big movie is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't because a lot of good movies still got kicked off of screens because of Aquaspam. "No dominant movie" doesn't mean everything gets to breathe, it just means a crappier movie eats up screens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Tran Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 What's up with all these qualifiers I'm seeing "Thanks to Christmas" and "lucky it's the holidays" Do we ever say "this movie was lucky it was released in the Summer"? Movies are slotted where they are for a reason. Some release dates don't make sense but in general, the studios understand what movies need to be put where to maximize the outcome. Some are better as Summer releases, some are better off as Holiday releases.. There's no "luck" involved. 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Someone said that The Iron Claw WOM wasn’t good enough for a second weekend increase. Think again! Excellent for Anyone But You. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Tran Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 'The Iron Claw' has some issues but overall it's very good and I would definitely recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krissykins Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I really don’t find this Christmas season boring at all. The Iron Claw, All of Us Strangers, Poor Things, Anyone But You are all interesting to follow. So are Wonka, Aquaman and Migration. So is the Color Purple for the unexpected drop off, and Boys in the Boat came out of nowhere. The wealth is spread and that’s much more interesting than following Avatar 2 on its own. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, 2 hot stars that were heavily gossiped to have had a real life hookup during the filming. Exactly the kind of marketing romcoms need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
