Even before lockdown, when Disney+ and Apple TV+ were nascent streaming services, it was clear that the shift from large to […]
Scores are up for THE LITTLE MERMAID. Will it break the record for the largest Memorial Day opening?
On September 9th, there was an event so huge that it caused a ripple in the space-time continuum. The Earth fell off its axis. Perhaps you felt it. It was on this day that Disney released a teaser trailer for THE LITTLE MERMAID. To the dismay of a very vocal minority, in the upcoming live-action […]
With a month to go before release, is BLACK ADAM on track to open above $100M?
How anemic has the late summer box office been? Unless DON’T WORRY DARLING or SMILE over-perform, this will be the first September since 2001 without a film opening above $20M. THE WOMAN KING got close with a $19M debut. But the celebration of KING as a box office win only speaks to the entrenchment of […]

In Focus: AMSTERDAM
What do THE WOMAN KING, DON’T WORRY DARLING, BROS, and TÁR have in common? They all made their debuts at major festivals, premiering in either Venice or Toronto.

People still want to see HALLOWEEN ENDS in a theater over Peacock. Will that change?
When it was announced last week that HALLOWEEN ENDS would shift from theatrical only to a hybrid release on Peacock, the timing couldn’t have been worse. Exhibition is going through a dry spell that rivals the worst days of the pandemic. Not because people don’t want to go to the movies; it’s that the studios […]
In Focus: BROS
WHY IS THIS FILM NOTEWORTHY? It’s noteworthy because it’s a comedy, and we haven’t had many original, non-action comedies in this post-pandemic era. EASTER SUNDAY and UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT come to mind, though neither were big performers. EASTER opened to $5M, while UNBEARABLE did somewhat better, debuting to $7M. With BROS arriving in […]
