Summer Movies

I can't recall seeing this level of detail reported about a single weekend of movies.:

‘The Flash’ Falls Down With $55M 3-Day Opening: Here’s Why

Sunday AM Writethru , after Saturday AM post…refresh for updates There are a lot of lessons to be learned this weekend. But chief among them is what it’s like for a major motion picture…

deadline.com

Writer Anthony D'Alessandro is naming exactly what was spent, in which methods, on some of marketing (though not all of the marketing) with a comparison to some other movie marketing spends through those methods. He's naming exactly which theaters specifically made exactly how much money for a particular movie this weekend. I happened to see Asteroid City at the AMC Burbank which apparently was the #1 theater in the nation for The Flash this weekend (which is no surprise as Warner Brothers studio is about 5 minutes away). I had no idea you could access the exact take from a specific movie theater.

I don't think any of this adds crucial data for us fans given it's not a complete picture, but I did find it interesting and thought others might as well. And we can use this thread if we want for Summer Movies in general.

I wont spoil anything but I read an article last night detailing all the cameos in the Flash. The amount and who actually got cameos was very surprising.

I had heard absolutely nothing about "Asteroid City" but having now watched the trailer, it might actually get my butt back into a theatre.

It's an odd one. Not my favorite Wes Anderson movie. Some great scenes but it never really came together for me.

Basically 6 ir 7 blockbuster budget movies released on after the other.

Think only Spidermans doing particularly well.

I thought flash might flop but expected 70 odd million vs 55.

It did $64M domestic. Most are listing it as a flop due to excessive adders in the budget and marketing but that's always unclear until streaming.

In other news, Quantumania quietly is a profitable film now. They cleared around $30M profit on the movie.

Yeah there's a few 200+ million dollar films plus marketing probably get 300-600 million at thebbox office. I expected about 3 of them to flop.

Suddenly I can't tell if 80s movies were the best or the worst.
