THR: PWC does not expect theatrical box office to meet 2019 levels until 2030 notfabio Jul 24, 12:33

it's 75% on the studios at this point. demand for good product is obviously back. they just need to make more and release in theaters {nm} mr teriffic Jul 24, 12:56

I would argue we're going in the wrong direction. We're too top heavy and demand is down so prices are going up Moviesnob Jul 24, 14:45

agree that prices are too high but that's been 100% of the increases in box office take since 2002. {nm} mr teriffic Jul 24, 15:42

This was shot back in 2020. {nm} Antibody Jul 24, 12:02

I wonder if there's some accounting reason they are finally dumping these titles. The VFX look like they pulled their budget out from them. {nm} notfabio Jul 24, 12:05

Good to know. I'll definitely watch it. I've always liked Timur's style. I'm hoping he finished the Watch trilogy movie series. {nm} CButera Jul 24, 15:40

I do, too, but if he's going to keep making movies that take place on computer screens, there's little reason to release them theatrically. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jul 24, 18:07
