Eric Furiosa Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I mean most platform movies come accessible to most of the country like two or three weeks after release these days. I think you can be patient and wait that long lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valonqar Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 TCP is a toast after MLK weekend. It always performed when there's a short-lived external factor (Xmas day, MLK weekend) rather than on its own strength unlike ABY which is all its own doing not this or that life-saving booster.

Sink or swim like the rest of them. Well, if the studios execs don't feel that releasing the movie in 3000+ theaters, they would have their reasons. Honestly, I don't understand why people are angry about studios releasing movies at limited level. Edited January 11 by Kon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know that this year will be 20 years since a movie that made over 300M in dom boxoffice and over 900M WW(1.1B to be exact) won? Small and medium movies win all the fuckin time and not because they are the best (CODA lol). So lets that not be this year. Well made little adult film should win Best Actress and Production Design cause they carry the said little film for adults. But Picture and Director should go to Barbie or Oppenheimer. No split nonsense. What the fuck does any of this have to do with rooting for it to fail at the BO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becasue many times they misjudge the audience and make them unavaliable to people who would be interested. Saltburn is the latest example. Studio thought it was for one audience but it was for the other that wasn't reached in platform release. Sure, streaming corrects that now but it just shows how clueless they were whom to market it. Likewise, streaming cut Holdovers legs. Not only it got platform release but was sent to streaming too early because they didn't expect it to do well in wide release or something. It's very confusing. Edited January 11 by Valonqar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kon Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Anyone But You mantains great holds over 1M. Unfortunately, this should be the last day in the 1st place, since the Thursday preview for Mean Girls will take that position.

titanic2187 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Denying the use of platform release is showing that just how patience is depleting from our world quicker than iceberg. I bet if every studio start throwing movie randomly 3000 theaters and then quickly drop them afterward, people will again start complaining they couldn’t come to aware of a movie fast enough before it loses its screentime. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much more it is expected to earn after that point? Great reasult either way since many wrote it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wide release your goddamn movies or get out. At this point not seeing Poor Things/American Fiction playing near me has pissed me off more than seeing them would actually make me happy. Amen, especially as a foreigner. 95% of these serious prestige movies are similarly restricted to megacities here, and my area never gets them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the above number is just USA as of 8 AM PST (still a full day of Previews to go). Perhaps, articles published are looking for $1.5M North America Premieres. I should have mentioned the time (as of __:__ AM/PM) so that won't have confused you 😅 As for the Pre-sales, $1,065,286 / 44,929 admits (556 locs) ~ 1,792 Shows for Final Day at USA (incl. Canada it's $1.2M for NA Pre-sales). So, you are not wrong about it.

wildphantom Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Just saw Anyone But You. I’m with @baumer on this. Slayed the audience.

HummingLemon496 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 20 hours ago, dallas said: Yeah I don't think it's unreasonable to say that WB had a solid year. The DCEU disappointed (as always) but aside from small failures like Magic Mike and House Party, all of their releases did great. Even Aquaman 2 may come close to breaking even (unlikely, but possible given non-existent marketing). I do believe that WB will fare far better this year, as their slate is incredibly strong. They still spent $100M on marketing and it's very OS/China heavy which is where studios get less revenue from 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why's is it so hard to accept that in the current context of CBM, Aquaman is over performing? Yes, in a very black and white sense it is a flop, but movie business is rarely back and white.
