Disney may have reinvented Labor Day, but is anyone willing to take on the post-Thanksgiving weekend? By now, we all know that SHANG-CHI broke the record for the largest Labor Day opening ever.

New to The Quorum: NIGHTMARE ALLEY
At the 2018 Academy Awards, Guillermo del Toro took home the Best Director and Best Picture Oscars for THE SHAPE OF WATER.

New to The Quorum: THE BOB’S BURGERS MOVIE
Truth be told, we started tracking THE BOB’S BURGERS MOVIE over a year ago, but when it was pulled from the release schedule earlier this year, we stopped fielding it simply because we didn’t know if it would ever see the light of day. But yesterday, not only did we get a poster, but it […]
New to The Quorum: THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER
If you believe that sequels are referendums on the film that came before, that THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER should be fine. The last entry, THOR RAGNAROK (2017), was not only the best-reviewed of the THOR films, but it was easily the highest-grossing of the three, along with being the only one to open above $100M […]

VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE moves up two weeks
Is VENOM on pace to beat SHANG-CHI? The SHANG-CHI ripple effect is in full effect. Just days after online rumors surfaced about VENOM being pushed to 2022, Sony does the opposite and moves it up two weeks. It seems the trifecta of FREE GUY, CANDYMAN and SHANG-CHI is making everyone feel better about the impact […]
Does SHANG-CHI helps us understand THE SUICIDE SQUAD?
More importantly, SHANG-CHI shows that studios can make real money with a theatrical-only release – even during a pandemic. As noted here, SHANG-CHI smashed the record for a Labor Day opening. And it added additional proof that theatrical is still vital even in the throes of rising COVID cases. More importantly, it gives us another […]
CINDERELLA has the highest awareness for an Amazon movie since COMING 2 AMERICA.
But are the interest levels there? By most accounts, Amazon has had success releasing movies that were once designated for theaters. First, it was COMING 2 AMERICA, then WITHOUT REMORSE and most recently THE TOMORROW WAR. CINDERELLA, originally developed at Sony, was sold to Amazon in May. Based on just awareness, Amazon looks to have […]
