Shawn at Box Office is saying $150m+ for Mario this weekend... me? I'm still short on the derivatives. TheWeekendWarrior Apr 05, 10:42

Saying $102-127m for just Friday-Saturday. Took Puss in Boots 5 weeks to make that higher number. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Apr 05, 11:02

Are we sure the weekend derivative number isn't Wed-Sun? {nm} JayPrimetown Apr 05, 11:17

IW: Jason Blum gives a pretty candid interview about the biz, he thinks The Exorcist reboot is the riskiest movie of his career (for Uni) notfabio Apr 05, 09:50

Wants to make around 7 films a year combined with James Wan. Thinks horror will crash in 2024 (only 10 of 25 horror movies will work) {nm} notfabio Apr 05, 09:51

2025 will see a correction to 10-14 horror movies, only feels the audience for them will support 8-10 a year. {nm} notfabio Apr 05, 09:53

Called it first {nm} Moviesnob Apr 05, 09:55

once the studios started massively overpaying for way too much of it, it was all over. Moviesnob Apr 05, 09:56

Too much supply, demand decreases. I think video game IP is the next blow up (starting to see it now) {nm} JayPrimetown Apr 05, 10:16

maybe, but video game movies that work are expensive. horror movies that work dont have to be. Thats the difference Moviesnob Apr 05, 10:33

I agree completely with you. Low risk, high reward with Horror. Big budget horror likely goes way of Video Game IP.... over saturation. {nm} JayPrimetown Apr 05, 10:39

take the study with a grain of salt. Moviesnob Apr 05, 09:59

Shocking. LOL. Please.It's that high? {nm} goodvibe61 Apr 05, 09:59

the question was designed so it was hard to answer {nm} Moviesnob Apr 05, 10:09

THR: Keanu Reeves will star in Outcome to be directed by Jonah Hill for Apple TV notfabio Apr 05, 08:56

I wonder if this one will get a theatrical component? {nm} JayPrimetown Apr 05, 09:49

Doesn't appear to be a contractual requirement with this one, but not ruled out. Depends on how Apple's first canaries do (Killers/Napoleon) notfabio Apr 05, 12:05

Apple Original Films has picked up Outcome [OUTCM] {nm} Antibody Apr 05, 10:35

Do we think Uni will report Mario midnights or will they just be lumped into the Weds # tomorrow? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Apr 05, 07:14

Considering it was only one or two screens at midnight and less locations than usual I would be surprised if they reported 1201ams separate {nm} notfabio Apr 05, 07:17

have there been many or any proper midnight screening post covid? {nm} sneak Apr 05, 03:48

No Tuesday previews seem like an odd choice. {nm} budice Apr 05, 05:29

I'm not really a fan of midnight or post-midnight movies but I guess others just couldn't wait to see this. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Apr 05, 05:39

12:01's back in the day were more exciting for audiences, but early pre-opens/fan-events are so much easier to manage/sell concessions notfabio Apr 05, 09:44
