Let's be honest the films that are out aren't really blockbusters and probably would have flopped in 2018 or 2019. We need films people actually want to watch haha
The bit I like in the article is -
"The Scarlett Johansson-led MCU prequel will end its run with around $185 million domestic. That’s disappointing, but not disastrous considering the likes of Ant-Man ($181 million in 2015), Thor ($181 million in 2011) and Captain America ($176 million in 2011). More problematic is the lost income in the post-theatrical revenue chain due to the Disney+ factor, along with the film’s still uncertain future in China.
I’d still assume a Chinese release after the blackout period, but likely piracy will likely suppress what could have a $125-$155 million gross"
Black Widow numbers match with the releases back in 2011 and 2015.
Even Scott says piracy will suppress lot of money and last night you were mocking about my ifs. Clearly it is a bad move by Disney.
Funvester I have Never mentioned capacity before, these were other peoples words on here, I’m just repeating what they have said about Share price, When we hit 100%
Cruis,
To be fair regards capacity it was only ever needed really for small percentage of releases and times in week.
50% capacity would probably cover vast vast majority of releases and times.
Outside Marvel, DC, FF , Hobbit and such then screens almost always well under 50% and have been for a good number of years.
Current policy will be more than adequate, however once there are higher number of weekly releases and we get some of the big guns again at same time then YES we would want to see and hope for the need to be back operating with no restrictions on capacity (mostly self imposed now by company).
Yes as I said earlier box numbers are inproving, but we will never get back to where we were. Marvel will never be as big as it was with these new characters, that’s a big loss. thou that doesn’t mean the share won’t go past a £1 Again
I'll be on holiday then Cruis1, and sure as **** won't be wasting my time on this BB.
Yea cause the share price has really flown since then, wake up fella
We all find out 12th august ?
Old article Cruis1. It is dated 13th July. Today is 23rd July. See the latest articles on streaming.
What's the agenda Cruis1? You seem very determined to drag this down.
Anything positive to add?
You don’t mention your 100% capacity plan for the share price. Do you really think if cinemas were that full, they would be sticking to 50 capacity ?
Cruis baby,
MK doubled up with Demon Slayer for a quick 1-2 weekend that actually improved on the Godzilla versus Kong weekend that you so applauded.
Its bedtime.
Cine didn't need us to win the Euro's. We made it to the finals and if we had a deal with ITV and BBC to put every game on the big screens could have been very opportunistic.
We need someone able to see these chances and making it happen.
Maybe it would, but it didn’t, so the share price collapsed that week, through streaming worries. Would England have won the euros, if those donkeys hadn’t of took the penualties, maybe but yet again all ifs, & they are still losers.
I have no idea why you have included mortal Kombat, as it was one of the first releases from lockdown, so nobody had any idea how a film would perform. The budget it 55 million, it grossed 83 million, that’s almost classed as a flop
Do you think BW would have made only $80M without streaming release? Atleast Industry experts think it will be more. It definitely would have made more and there is no question of if...
"Apart from godszilla not one blockbuster film has over performed at the us box office, they have come in all under on pre box office target. This is the reason why cineworld always fall on a Monday, apart from when godszilla figures came out, i believe it climbed around 7-8% that Monday."
That statement Cruis is completely amateurish. Virtually all have led to post opandemic Box office records and the likes of A Quiet place 2 has out performed.
There's your succession of headlines just in case you have forgotten.

That’s all ifs, the fact is we don’t know what would of happened, Iam certain it allowed easier pirate copies to be made thou. Just because people on this board find negatives doesn’t mean they are shorters or snakes, it’s just stating facts & opinion
"If it wasn’t on Disney, it still wouldn’t of smashed records, as the 60 million it took on Disney was across the world"
There are plethora of articles on how Disney shot itself on foot with BW release on streaming. Industry experts have said that BW could have made much more if it was not released on streaming. Because of streaming many would have held back going to cinemas. Disney said 2M subscribed for the opening weekend. If you take 1M just from US as US makes up the large portion of Disney subscription and with a family of 4 per household if you take them 1Mx4x$10 ticket price so BW could have earned atleast another $40M so total domestic could have been $120M, which is not bad attendance wise?
I trader I’m not deramping at all, I’m just stating a fact we are no where near past box office figures
