Grading January Posters

It’s a new year, which means a new methodology for grading our posters. Previously, we would survey people and ask them to grade the posters from A+ (“awesome”) to F (“awful”). This time, we’ve changed the wording in the direction of intent. Now, respondents are asked to grade the poster from A+ (“Makes me want […]

Update: ANT-MAN tracking is on the rise.

On New Year’s Eve, we posed the question, where is Paul Rudd in the ANT-MAN campaign? At the time, the campaign was focusing heavily on Jonathan Majors as “Kang.” Back then, awareness and interest for QUANTUMANIA were lagging behind BLACK ADAM, which opened to $65M.

All scored well, though it […]

Something important will be happening this summer. With THE LITTLE MERMAID and BARBIE, studios will be releasing two high-profile films catered towards younger women for the first time in the post-pandemic era. Until now, titles like HOCUS POCUS 2, DISENCHANTED, and ENOLA HOLMES 2 were only available on streaming services. Sure, we had THE LOST […]
