How big will TOP GUN: MAVERICK be?

What will TOP GUN: MAVERICK make this weekend? That’s the question on everyone’s lips. The popular opinion is that it will land somewhere in the neighborhood of $70M – $100M for the three-day weekend.  If MAVERICK reaches $100M, it would be just the 4th Memorial Day release since 2000 to do so and the first since […]

ELVIS is on the rise.

After months of having only a teaser poster of a belt buckle, Warner Bros. has finally given us two new ELVIS posters featuring, well, Elvis. One has a young Elvis clad in black leather, the other a less-young Elvis in white leather.  We often bifurcate Elvis Presley’s career into his young, fit peak and his […]

Location, Location, Location

As you know, The Quorum publishes four film tracking metrics: awareness, interest, location, and pay. We often talk about the first two, but among 2022 wide releases, it’s the location metric that correlates the most to a film’s opening weekend gross.  For those unfamiliar, the location metric measures the percentage of people who prefer to […]
