Flanders82 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) I'm looking forward to Free Guy as well. If Fast 9, which was hard to watch 10 minutes of, grossed over $700 million worldwide, I'm not sure why they expect Shang Chi to be a disappointment. I expect it to gross at least that much.

I expect it to gross at least that much. what I think is that in general the fans of the Marvel Universe are frustrated that we didn't get "flagship" characters to start like we did with the first run (we started with Iron-Man). Disney should do the same with this new run but didn't. I am worried about Shang-Chi. Flanders82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Quote Paramount is pushing back two Tom Cruise tentpoles as concerns over the coronavirus pandemic and the delta variant continue to roil theater attendance. Top Gun: Maverick is departing its Nov. 19 date and will now open May 27, 2022. Meanwhile, Mission: Impossible 7 is leaving that May 27, 2022 date and will now open Sept. 30, 2022. The studio has also pushed back person_too_unaware_of_social_graces Forever, which moves to Feb. 4, 2022, departing an Oct. 22, 2021 date. Mission: Impossible – Fallout filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie returns to direct the seventh and eighth installments of the franchise, while Joseph Kosinski helms Maverick, which last week showed off its first 13 minutes at CinemaCon.

Bosco685 Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 Quote Global box office this year overtook 2020’s COVID-stricken total of $12 billion at the end of August. It is now forecast to reach $20.2 billion in 2021, according to analysis firm Gower Street Analytics. The good news is that would represent a 68% rebound compared with last year. The bad news is the total would still be 52% below the $42.3 billion record set in 2019 and less than half of the $41.9 billion average in the three pre-pandemic years (2017-19). Quote Gower Street forecasts that by the end of the year the international total will reach $9.1 billion, comprising $4.3 billion from Europe, the Middle East and Africa, $3.85 billion from Asia Pacific (ex-China), and $900 million from Latin America. The company forecasts that China will finish the year at $6.6 billion and North America $4.5 billion. If those forecasts hold good, China will be the world’s largest box office market for the second successive year and bigger than all European territories combined.

Bosco685 Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Quote When the studio gets rich on a box office hit, exhibition shares in that and there was certainly a downpour of cash for the latter thanks to the $90M pandemic domestic opening record of Sony’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage, and also the $119M launch of MGM/UAR/Universal’s No Time to Die. The No. 1 circuit in the world, AMC Entertainment, announced this morning that they posted a new post-reopening record for weekend attendance as well as new post-opening records for ticket admission revenues and concessions thanks to both films. Between Thursday Sept. 30 and Sunday Oct. 3, 2.4 million-plus people watched movies at U.S. AMC multiplexes while 1.4M took in movies at AMC overseas for a total of 3.9M WW, a new post-reopening attendance record for the circuit. Could we be reaching that magical point of turnaround? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
