WHY IS THIS FILM NOTEWORTHY? It’s noteworthy because it’s a comedy, and we haven’t had many original, non-action comedies in this post-pandemic era. EASTER SUNDAY and UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT come to mind, though neither were big performers. EASTER opened to $5M, while UNBEARABLE did somewhat better, debuting to $7M. With BROS arriving in […]

No such thing as bad publicity. Has the DON’T WORRY DARLING drama, helped the film?
The Quorum has been tracking DON’T WORRY DARLING since late April when director Olivia Wilde introduced the film at CinemaCon and was subsequently introduced to custody papers from ex-partner Jason Sudeikis. And yet, despite that highly publicized event, awareness for DARLING remained in the mid-teens. Even after Warner Bros. released a pair of trailers, one […]
Grading this week’s posters (8.28.22)
Each week we ask people to grade the week’s newest posters from A+ (“awesome”) to F (“awful”). Here are the final grades. PINOCCHIO Grade: A As we’ve noted before, we have decided NOT to track either of the PINOCCHIO movies – this Disney+ version nor the Netflix version coming later this year – but that […]
AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER has been tops in awareness for ten weeks. That’s about to change.
When AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER reached the top of the awareness chart ten weeks ago after JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION opened in theaters, we knew it would sit there for a while. We also knew that at some point, BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER, arriving in theaters a month before AVATAR, would eventually climb to the […]
THE MARVELS arrives on tracking with a bang.
It’s always noteworthy when a DC or Marvel film is added to tracking. Today, THE MARVELS makes a splashy debut on The Quorum. THE MARVELS is essentially the sequel to the 2019 film CAPTAIN MARVEL. That film, starring Brie Larson, made $426M domestically and ranks behind BLACK PANTHER as the highest-grossing debut stand-alone film in […]
UPDATE: With HALLOWEEN ENDS going day-and-date, Universal remains the last studio in the hybrid space
That’s one film down. Earlier this month, we noted that 2022 will most certainly tie the record for the most $100M openings in a single year if BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER and AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER both debut above the century mark. We also pointed out that there was an outside chance that 2022 […]
Awareness for GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT STORY has been low. Will the announcement of a December 23rd release date help?
When Agatha Christie’s MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS was elegantly brought back to theaters in November 2017, it made a handsome $103M at the box office. Little did we know that two years later, KNIVES OUT would lift the genre to greater heights. Opening Thanksgiving weekend 2019, KNIVES grossed over $165M on the heels of […]
Grading this week’s posters (8.21.22)
Each week we ask people to grade the week’s newest posters from A+ (“awesome”) to F (“awful”). Here are the final grades. SMILE Grade: A- Four horror movies are opening between now and October 14th, when HALLOWEEN ENDS arrives in theaters. None are tracking to big numbers, but if the response to the SMILE poster is […]
In Focus: LYLE, LYLE, CROCODILE
Why is this film noteworthy? Based on Bernard Waber’s beloved children’s book, first published in 1965, LYLE, LYLE, CROCODILE stars Javier Bardem and is directed by Josh Gordon, and Will Speck as the follow up to their raunchy R-rated hit OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY. Box Office Universe: LYLE is scheduled to open on October 7th. With […]
What happened to the pre-Thanksgiving tentpole?
This year, the two movies scheduled to open on November 18th are THE MENU, and SHE SAID. This also happens to be the weekend before Thanksgiving. While both of these are high on our list of must-sees, it’s a bit surprising that these are the two titles that have landed on this date. That’s because the […]
