Truth be told, we don’t actually know the name of this movie. According to IMDb calls it the UNTITLED ILLUMINATION ENTERTAINMENT PROJECT (“I want to see that!”). The trades, and just about everyone else, are calling it SUPER MARIO BROS. ComScore, however, currently has it listed as just MARIO, so that is the title we […]
HALLOWEEN KILLS is finally looking like a box office slayer.
Too bad Universal decided on a day-and-date release Way back in July, the very first post published on The Quorum was about HALLOWEEN KILLS. Back then, we were lamenting the fact that the film was tracking well below its paygrade. Both awareness and interest were much lower than one would expect for a film of […]
Holiday Box Office Preview
SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME looks like a sure thing, but what else will join it at the top of the box office? The summer box office has wrapped, and the fall equinox has passed, which means it’s time for us to look forward to the holiday box office. This year, there are 11 films that […]
New to The Quorum: FINCH
Swap out a volleyball named “Wilson” for an adorable dog and somewhat functioning robot and you have FINCH. Ok, maybe that’s an exaggeration, though the trailer does hint at some similarities between CAST AWAY and FINCH. Add in the fact that FINCH was produced by CAST AWAY director Robert Zemekis and, well, you get it. […]
Trailer Callback: THE MATRIX: RESURRECTIONS
Awareness may not have moved, but interest went through the roof. We got our first look at the upcoming MATRIX movie when Warner Bros. dropped a teaser on September 9th. Ten days have passed, so it’s time to see how the trailer has impacted the numbers. On the awareness side, MATRIX didn’t get much of […]
The worst weekend of the year
Disney may have reinvented Labor Day, but is anyone willing to take on the post-Thanksgiving weekend? By now, we all know that SHANG-CHI broke the record for the largest Labor Day opening ever. The sheer magnitude of its success can not be overstated. Before this year, no Labor Day film had ever grossed, in total, […]
New to The Quorum: NIGHTMARE ALLEY
At the 2018 Academy Awards, Guillermo del Toro took home the Best Director and Best Picture Oscars for THE SHAPE OF WATER. A year later, Bradley Cooper was a double nominee for Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay for A STAR IS BORN. Neither del Toro nor Cooper have appeared on the big screen since. […]
New to The Quorum: THE BOB’S BURGERS MOVIE
Truth be told, we started tracking THE BOB’S BURGERS MOVIE over a year ago, but when it was pulled from the release schedule earlier this year, we stopped fielding it simply because we didn’t know if it would ever see the light of day. But yesterday, not only did we get a poster, but it […]
New to The Quorum: THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER
If you believe that sequels are referendums on the film that came before, that THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER should be fine. The last entry, THOR RAGNAROK (2017), was not only the best-reviewed of the THOR films, but it was easily the highest-grossing of the three, along with being the only one to open above $100M […]
Brace yourself, THE MATRIX RESURRECTION is here.
It has been 18 years since the original trilogy ended in 2003, but today the era of THE MATRIX RESURRECTION is upon us thanks to this spectacular new trailer. Of course, we will watch the numbers over the next two weeks and report the trailer’s impact. For now, let’s take stock of where MATRIX sits […]
