Relativity is back with just its second release since shuttering in 2016. Between 2011 and 2016, Relativity pumped out decent-sized hits like LIMITLESS, SAFE HAVEN and FREE BIRDS. Under the stewardship of the larger-than-life Ryan Kavanaugh, the studio even took some big swings with expensive titles like IMMORTALS and MIRROR MIRROR. It could be argued […]
An Open Letter From The Quorum: For the past few years, we at The Quorum have been studying audience sentiment toward going to the movies. In October 2021, The Quorum published a study, in partnership with Cultique and Fanthropology, that showed that a large segment of the population feels a disconnect between the value of […]
We typically don’t think of January as a strong corridor for animated films – at least in terms of new releases. Animated movies from the holidays in December continue to play into January. PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH made more in January than in December last year. New releases, however, tend to have lackluster […]
We went to see it. Maybe you did too. It seems we can’t stop talking about BARBIE. That’s what happens when a movie grosses $1B. On the domestic side, it’s about to reach $500M, and it looks poised to top THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE ($574M) as the highest-grossing film of the year. When a […]
With A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE, a universe is born. Next March, audiences will get a spin-off prequel to one of the most successful horror franchises of the past five years. The original film made $188M domestically and was the highest grossing horror film of 2018. The sequel, A QUIET PLACE PART II, made $160M […]
Does no one want to open a film on October 6th? When KRAVEN THE HUNTER was pushed off the October 6th date to 2024, it left a hole in the release schedule. Should KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON take that spot? A decade ago, Warner Bros. reinvented the first weekend in October by releasing GRAVITY […]
Let’s face it; it was a dismal month for movie posters. There were no A’s, and only two films scored an A-. What is clear is that people are in the mood for freights. Four of the highest scoring posters were horror films (including two for THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER), while the fifth was for A […]
It’s been a rough couple of years for Warner Bros. Starting with the disastrous day-and-date experiment of 2021, Warner Bros. has had few wins since. Let’s look at what did work. THE BATMAN was a smash. Though smaller in scale, ELVIS was given the same level of commitment as WB gave for BARBIE. And the […]
There are lots of mixed signals out there in the superhero universe. GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, VOL 3 did very well. SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE did even better. But ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA, THE FLASH, MORBIUS and BLACK ADAM did, well, less well. Looking at the upcoming slate, the established properties look strong. DEADPOOL […]
In a bit of under-the-radar news, last week Lionsgate quietly shifted the release date for SAW X from October 27th up to September 29th. That may seem like a rather unremarkable date change, except that it was one more chapter in what’s shaping up to be an unusual Halloween season. It also now leaves Universal […]
