Men chose GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE over RICHARD by a 10:1 clip Poor Will Smith. He gets the best reviews of his career, and yet he still struggles in the winter. In a perfect world, RICHARD would have opened above $15 and had enough juice to play through the holidays. But with a debut under $6M, there […]
NATIONAL CHAMPIONS has arrived. But is it too late?
Just last week, STX pushed NATIONAL CHAMPIONS from its original November 24th date to December 10th. The fact that STX was moving it wasn’t surprising. What was surprising was that they pushed it out only two weeks. That’s because there was no poster. There was no trailer. If anything, the film looked destined to be […]
New to The Quorum: Hocus Pocus 2
HOCUS POCUS is such a beloved film that it’s easy to forget that it was a bit of a clunker when it debuted 28 years ago. The 1993 film made less than $40M at the box office, and the critics ripped it apart. Roger Ebert gave the film 1-star saying, “A good movie inspires the […]
Update: HOUSE OF GUCCI on the rise
A week ago KING RICHARD had the momentum in the battle of the real-life family dramas. Since then, HOUSE OF GUCCI has surged. As we noted earlier, RICHARD has been on a tear over the last two weeks. After months of languishing behind GUCCI in awareness and interest, RICHARD defiantly overtook GUCCI earlier this week. […]
MOONFALL is making its move, but is it enough?
Let’s talk about director Roland Emmerich. He certainly knows how to do spectacle. Whether it’s Will Smith saving us from aliens (INDEPENDENCE DAY), a modern ice age (THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW), or a planet facing multiple catastrophes (2012), Emmerich makes films that look and feel big. Every few years, he gives us a new bombastic […]
TOLDJA – ETERNALS has nearly identical opening to SHANG-CHI
There’s been a lot written about the opening weekend for ETERNALS. Most of it has been doom and gloom, largely due to the lukewarm reviews for the film. But, with a $71.3M debut, ETERNALS earned almost exactly the same as the $75.4M earned by SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS on its opening […]
Here are some amazing SPIDER-MAN posters. None of the real.
SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME is 45 days from release and, for some reason, Sony has yet to release an official poster. That seems a bit odd, right? Thankfully we have these incredible fan-made posters. But seriously, Sony, where are the 1-sheets? What’s up with the delay? […]
Will 2021 have any $100M debuts? And does it even matter?
VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE got close when it debuted to $90M. But we’re not talking about hand grenades. Close doesn’t cut it. With the year winding down, 2021 could be the first year since 2003 not to have a film open above $100M. This, naturally, leads to two questions: Do any of the remaining […]
VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE is a huge hit, so why isn’t MORBIUS tracking better?
The success of Sony’s VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE cannot be overstated. It is both a financial hit with $400M in grosses against a $110M production budget, as well a symbolic hit, having had a larger opening weekend than its pre-pandemic predecessor. CARNAGE and the first VENOM are the first two films in what Sony […]
New to The Quorum: LIGHTYEAR
If there’s one thing we know, it’s the Pixar sequel perform better than their originals. And while LIGHTYEAR isn’t exactly a sequel, it is based on a very well-known character from the TOY STORY films. Over the past ten years, Pixar sequels have grossed 70% more than originals, yet it’s been a while since we’ve […]
