10/23/20-10/25/20: RIP Quibi 2020-2020 | New Dates for Ghostbuster, Candyman | Rumors of Bond Selling for $600M to Streaming | Demon Slayer Hype Train Chugs On

Tue, 27 Oct 2020 13:00:00 -0000

In this weeks episode, we press F to pay respects to Quibi, the streaming service that couldn't. WE also go over some new release dates for 2021 films, some rumors about No Time To Die going to streaming which ended up being false, other industry news about theaters reopening or curfews in Europe coming into effect. And we have a rather uninteresting domestic Top 5. Plus the new Chinese film topping the charts there, and Japan's Demon Slayer anime film continuing to shatter records.

Show Notes

Tenet, Mulan, Unhinged, The Broken Hearts Gallery, and Bill and Ted 3 all move back into August as COVID cases continue to spike across the country and NYC delays the reopening of theaters. Theaters have also delayed their reopening by two weeks. Various countries such as France, Saudi Arabia, and Canada have reopened. Jurassic Park tops the box office for the first time in 27 years. Spongebob goes to CBS All Access, and A24's First Cow goes to VOD. Chris Nolan films willl stream on Fortnite. A lot of streaming news also including a study from Deloitte about streaming usage going up but also more services being canceled as they face fatigue. Golden Globes also move to late February.

6/19/20-6/21/20: Masks Rule at the Movie Theater | How to Get the Highest Grossing Film in the Country with One Easy Trick

Tue, 23 Jun 2020 13:00:00 -0000

Show Notes

AMC, Regal and Cinemark initially waffle on whether to require masks for customers when they open in mid-July, Hamilton will be huge for Disney Plus, Scoob was a disappointment for Warner Bros, NBA stars may get to see Disney films before you do, and how some guys got the top grossing film in the country for one day with one easy trick.

4/24/20-4/26/20: Deadline's Most Profitable Blockbusters of 2019

Tue, 28 Apr 2020 12:00:00 -0000

Show Notes
Box Office Concept - Deadline's Most Profitable Blockbusters of 2019

The 50-40-25 Rule Works
The 40% Rule is closer to the 45% rule
Box Office makes up about 75% of total revenue, Home Media + TV makes up 25%
Marketing Costs - $100-150M for Worldwide with China, $70-100M for any major studio, $50M for US focused films / smaller studios
The 2.5x rule for Print and Advertising cost works out for Box Office costs ($100 Budget + $140 Advertising). But many films need Home Entertainment revenue to break even.

What I've Been Watching - Zodiac (2007)
