box office

By July we'll hear tracking is down to the mid-70's for 5-day haul.
Yikes.

I doubt it. Though I love watching folks rooting for failure.


$100 to $125 million is a major slide from what the previous two films did when they opened.

If we look at the budgets and consider that 'theaters' take 50% of the box office and the advertising budget is 100 million dollars, there are 7 flops and 6 good box office films here.
Yeah, no.
 
Industry expectations for Superman have grown substantially since the first teaser was released, while declining a bit for Fantastic Four.

For me, it has to be a very special event to get me to the movie theater. I think now that most people have screens bigger than 50”, it is becoming common to wait for a movie to come home, where we spend a far smaller amount of money and have a pause button to boot.
And closed captions. Can't enjoy TV or theaters otherwise.

The last movie I visited the theater to see was 'Apollo 11' in 2019 That theater had the Sony / Regal caption glasses. Not all, or even half, do. It was a two hour trip each way past about five theaters that didn't use those. No movie made recently inspires me to repeat that round-trip. Not when I can just select the app and then watch on my 50" & sound bar with affordable snacks.

Agreed. I use closed captions for everything. However, I do still hit the theaters for movies that I absolutely want to avoid spoilers on. I may not catch everything said, but I can still follow the story well enough for the most part. That way I feel safe going on the internet the next day.
