WEST is now the third adult-skewing title to hit theaters following KING RICHARD and HOUSE OF GUCCI. RICHARD debuted to $5.8M, though it surely would have made more were it not for its simultaneous HBO Max release. A week later, GUCCI had a 3-day opening of $14.4M. We will be watching this one very closely. […]
Omicron arrives with interest in upcoming films on the rise.
The last thing theatrical needs as it heads into the lucrative holiday season is the emergence of the Omicron variant. While some early reports are encouraging (less severe illness, vaccination with the booster is effective), others are not (much more contagious). One thing we’ve noticed over the past 16 months is that interest in upcoming […]
New to The Quorum: TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE
Next February, the 9th film in THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE franchise arrives by way of Netflix. This time around, the “The” is dropped from the title, much like SUICIDE SQUAD did earlier this year. The arrival of a new CHAINSAW raises a few questions: How popular is this series? Combined, the eight previous films have grossed […]
New to The Quorum: SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE – PART ONE
Usually, films are added to The Quorum once they are within six months of release, though some larger movies are added before then. Case in point SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE – PART ONE, which doesn’t arrive in theaters until October of 2022. ACROSS was added to The Quorum yesterday thanks to a trailer released over […]
UPDATE: Warner Bros. quietly moves SESAME STREET off the schedule.
Just last week we posed the question, “what is going on with SESAME STREET?“. The film was just weeks away from a January 2022 release, and yet there was no trailer. Not even a poster. Now, with very little fanfare, SESAME STREET is listed as “Unset”. Don’t be surprised if this ends up exclusively on […]
Amazon and Netflix have two huge star-studded films on the horizon. How do the numbers look?
Based on star-power alone, BEING THE RECARDOS and DON’T LOOK UP are arguably the biggest releases of the year for Amazon and Netflix, respectively. There are 11 acting Oscar across the two films (three for RICARDOS and eight for LOOK). And, both directors — Aaron Sorkin and Adam McKay — each have a gold statue […]
What is going on with the SESAME STREET movie?
“Sesame Street,” the TV show, has been in the headlines of late. More specifically, Big Bird caused quite a stir when he announced that he had been vaccinated, much to the chagrin of several Republicans. “Saturday Night Live” even mocked Ted Cruz’s outrage over the bird’s proclamation. What hasn’t made headlines is the SESAME STREET […]
How will HOUSE OF GUCCI hold in week 2?
Guess what, folks. There is not a single new wide release hitting theaters this week. That’s because historically, the weekend after Thanksgiving is one of the worst frames of the year. Is it a bad weekend because studios don’t release anything here? Or do studios avoid the weekend because no one goes to the theater? […]
Exhibition At A Crossroad
**BREAKING** Despite making a significant recovery since the arrival of the novel coronavirus virus, the theatrical film business still has much work to do, including vaccine mandates and lowering prices, in order to win back “former filmgoers,” a significant yet less understood segment of the movie-going public, according to a new study released jointly today […]
A movie to root for: MARRY ME
Last week Universal gave us the first trailer for MARRY ME, which features two of our greatest stars in the midst of mid-career revivals. Two years ago, Jennifer Lopez came within an inch of securing her first Oscar nomination for HUSTLERS. At the same time, Owen Wilson has made an indelible mark in LOKI and, recently, as […]
