At The Quorum, we are enormous fans of Judy Blume. So when it was announced that ARE YOU THERE, GOD? IT’S ME, MARGARET was being made into a feature film, the first ever major studio film based on one of Blume’s books, we were over the moon. Today, however, it was announced that the film […]
We didn’t see that one coming. But kudos to director Rain Johnson for picking an unexpected title for the next KNIVES OUT movies. While it may have been naïve to think it would be called KNIVES OUT 2, I don’t think anyone expected the title to be GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY. It certainly […]
Debuting a film at a festival is risky. If it’s well received, it can position the film for box office success and award show glory. But if a film gets even mediocre reviews, it can create a downward spiral of bad buzz all the way through theatrical release. This was especially evident during the 2012 […]
This morning Universal gave us the final trailer for NOPE, Jordan Peele’s follow-up to GET OUT and US, which, combined, made over $350M at the box office on shoestring budgets. It’s hard to think of any other director who has emerged over the past five years that has been able to combine a unique POV […]
There’s only one new film this week, but it’s a good one. NOPE is finally within six weeks of release and, as reported here, its numbers are quite a bit lower than one would expect for Jordan Peele’s follow up to GET OUT and US. With a new trailer out today, look for these numbers […]
Watch out for this one. The live-action update of THE LITTLE MERMAID (5/26/23) is now less than a year away from release, which means it’s been added to The Quorum. And boy did it land with a splash. MERMAID is a continuation of Disney’s strategy of converting its late 80s – early 90s animated classics […]
Let’s paint a picture. A studio has a $165 million movie gearing up for release. It’s part of an enormous franchise that originated in the 90s and was successfully rebooted in 2015 after being dormant for more than a decade. The 2015 film ended up being the 2nd highest grossing film of the year. A follow-up […]
Earlier this year at CinemaCon, there was an air of celebration among industry execs. Theatrical was back. We had weathered the storm. Day-and-date hybrid releases were mostly a failed experiment, and people were buying tickets again. And yet, theater owners weren’t entirely happy. A common complaint among exhibition was that the big studios simply weren’t […]
This week three new titles debut on the 6-Weeks Out Film Tracking Report: WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING, PAWS OF FURY: THE LEGEND OF HANK, and MRS. HARRIS GOES TO PARIS. Among the films that are within six weeks of release, JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION is tops in three of the four metrics while MR. MALCOLM’S LIST […]
Are you Team Mr. or are you Team Mrs.? Or, perhaps you’re both. We certainly are. As we all celebrate the enormous success of TOP GUN: MAVERICK and the other tentpole hits that came before, we are rooting for two smaller period dramedies that will be vying for the adult audience later this summer. MR. […]
