box office

People aren't going to find out that there's a low level of nudity in the film until after they've bought the ticket. The director saying they cut a bunch of it out on social media isn't a dial mover.
What this film is lacking is... full penetration. We are going to show it and we are going to show it all.

Box office smash!
 
In America, we have Pornhub.
I wish Western countries like Türkiye and America would shut down and wage war against sites like Pornhub and OnlyFans.

If folks haven't bought a ticket it's because either they haven't seen the marketing, they've seen the marketing and weren't interested, they might have been interested but went to see something else they were more interested in, didn't go to the cinema at that time, thought that looks like something to wait for streaming.

I only saw the trailer this last week and thought it was a bit of a mess and didn't do a great job of selling the concept or characters too well and so they're not getting my ticket anyway. Had the trailer teased more bums and nipples, my mind would have been the same.

Though, obviously I'm not a representative sample for the whole entire world.
I'm saying this based on box office and streaming viewership figures for sexually explicit films worldwide. There are people who will watch these films solely for the sex.
 
Well, onscreen nudity in Hollywood product is virtually never what's considered "sexually explicit."

Rom-coms aren't produced with the expectation of big overseas box office. It happens occasionally, maybe with a star who has a worldwide following, but they're aimed primarily at a domestic market.

Folks aren't going to get off the couch in droves and pay bucks to see Monica Barbaro's tits. Nicole Kidman or Sydney Sweeney or Zendaya? Possibly.

Oh I used to work in a Blockbuster, I know this very well. As well as how 'sweaty/clammy' the coins they would pay with were.

They're not large enough in number to move the dial though.
 
A new report from NPR says that while box office revenue is up and will probably finish with its best year since Covid, the actual number of ticket sales is down 200 million from 2020.
The discrepancy is due to higher post-Covid ticket prices.
