As we look at 2024, there’s a chance that several family and animated films will land among the year-end top 10 thanks to several returning franchises. Illumination brings back its flagship property with DISPICABLE ME 4. Pixar looks to right the ship with INSIDE OUT 2, and Paramount plans on delivering SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 […]
There’s been lots of comings and goings on The Quorum this wee. A few films were re-added to tracking, a few titles shifted dates, while one highly anticipated movie has been removed from The Quorum. Removed from The Quorum:MICKEY 17: Warner Bros. announced yesterday that MICKEY 17, Bong Joon-ho’s highly anticipated follow-up to PARASITE, has […]
CHALLENGERS remains one of the great tracking mysteries. A week after MGM released the poster for the CHALLENGERS, the film took a tumble in our weekly Long Lead Tracking Grid. The film marrying director Luca Guadagnino and Zendaya is one of the most anticipated films of the spring. At least among industry observers. Do filmgoers […]
When JOKER opened to $96M in 2019, it set a record for the largest October opening, a benchmark that stands to this day. The film was also a critical darling, scoring 12 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. Joaquin Phoenix walked away with the Best Actor Oscar. This week, The Quorum began tracking its follow-up, JOKER: FOLIE A […]
The Brontë sisters are some of the most mysterious figures in modern literature. Two of them wrote enduring classics – Charlotte’s JANE EYRE and Emily’s’ WUTHERING HEIGHTS – and yet little is known about the sisters who all passed away before age 40. Adding to the mystery is the lack of confirmed photographs of the […]
After decades of studios targeting men with superheroes, dinosaurs, impossible missions, transformers and guys driving fast and furious, 2023 was the year that women showed up. And in a big way. Yes, there was BARBIE. At $636M domestic in the bank, it ranks as the 11th highest grossing film of all time (not adjusted). It was […]
There’s a lot to like about the upcoming action comedy ARGYLLE, opening on February 2nd. It’s directed by Matthew Vaughn, who reinvigorated the genre a decade ago with KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE. Judging by the trailer, ARGYLLE looks like an irresistible mashup of THE LOST CITY, ROMANCING THE STONE, BULLET TRAIN, and THE MAN FROM […]
With AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM on track to open between $30M and $35M across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the sad superhero saga of 2023 comes to an end. While there are few superhero films scheduled for 2024, we can point to DEADPOOL 3 as a hope that next year will be better than this […]
Let’s face it: WONKA is everywhere. It became just the second film of the year after THE LITTLE MERMAID to reach 70% awareness. AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM has also reached a high level of saturation, with 64% awareness. Those two titles are the shiny box office baubles that everyone is focused on this holiday […]
Are audiences ready to welcome Will Smith back to the big screen? Based on the early tracking for BAD BOYS 4, the answer appears to be ‘yes.’ To be fair, sentiment towards Smith hasn’t been tested at the box office since the slap heard around the world. That’s because the Oscar-winner hasn’t appeared on the […]
