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 […]
Do the HOUSE OF GUCCI numbers help us understand the impact of HBO Max on KING RICHARD?
As the first of several high-profile adult-skewing films of the season, what do these two mean for WEST SIDE STORY and A JOURNAL FOR JORDAN? As you know, we’ve been anticipating the box office number for KING RICHARD and HOUSE OF GUCCI for several reasons. They are both star-driven true life stories about real families. […]
The curious case of RESIDENT EVIL: RACCOON CITY
If you live in the U.S., there’s a good chance you’ve never seen a RESIDENT EVIL movie even though, before RACCOON CITY, there were six films in the series. That’s because they don’t make a ton of money domestically, but they are enormously huge overseas. The most recent EVIL film made $27M here at home, […]
What Happened to KING RICHARD?
Men chose GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE over RICHARD by a 10:1 clip Poor Will Smith. He gets the best reviews of his career, and yet he still struggles in the winter. In a perfect world, RICHARD would have opened above $15 and had enough juice to play through the holidays. But with a debut under $6M, there […]
