Just hoping they keep seeing some value in theatrical distribution for the long haul. yeah apple is unfathomably rich. But they still won't do this forever.

Scubasteve716 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 WB has a couple rom coms in the can I wouldn’t be surprised if they dated one for Feb 9th (If they can they are Max movies not sure how that works). I know it’d be short notice but with a weak schedule and with Anyone but You doing good it wouldn’t surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely up there with one of the worst ad campaigns ever. Even the second trailer, which actually advertised it as a comedy, had zero laughs whatsoever. Maybe it’s legging because of rock bottom expectations? That it wasn’t total garbage, which means that is good enough? It’s wild. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not good, but it definitely didn't look like a horrible film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I quite liked this holiday week. Cool numbers to follow (sad about The Color Purple) even if we didn't had early numbers like the last 2 years because those only show up when there is a mammoth performer in town. Hopefully all of these movies hold well into January. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puss in Boots was also +72% Fri to Fri last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I actually enjoyed this holiday season vic office more than the previous 2 years, mostly because the wealth was “spread” across multiple movies and not just concentrated on one megahit. We’ve seen that the market can sustain a 700M+ grosser, now we need to know that there can still be depth at the box office, which this holiday corridor has shown is still possible, even if the numbers themselves aren’t huge. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the chance studios start on production on some smaller films like Anyone But You and The Boys on the Boat right away to get them released by next year?
