Movies

so.....worse than Tom and Jerry....(which was also available SVOD, and even cheaper.) People are not ready to go back to theaters....a lot

are too broke to even go back, people are trying to pay rent and buy food, going to a movie is like...behind going to Walmart.  Opening theaters at 25% when only 12% are attending...doesn't do a whole lot....with what money will people even buy tickets ?    The stimulus check will help....for maybe a few weeks, but then you still have like 20% vaccinated by April with 25% capacity...still a negative...Even if you open up theaters 50% by May and only 30% vaccinated...same problem.   8% vaccinated and probably 50% of the people who are paycheck to paycheck are all broke....both problems likely won't be solved until Fall at the earliest.....

I'm more worried about the "personal responsibility" states and that Cinemark/AMC have been silent on sticking to mask policy notfabio Mar 05, 17:01

It's playing in around 400 less major grossing theatres so this is actually better per screen (but also likely this is being underestimated) {nm} notfabio Mar 05, 17:44

What also hurts is Cinemark has strong theatres in Hispanic communities which are the most enthusiastic family film audiences {nm} notfabio Mar 05, 17:48

AMC is also still closed in San Francisco this weekend (Cinemark is open and just showing Tom and Jerry) and that's 3% of the US box office {nm} notfabio Mar 05, 17:52

I do have to take some of that back, while Google still lists AMC being closed, AMC's site does have sold out showtimes for RAYA in SF. {nm} notfabio Mar 05, 17:53

Ah ok...its a toss-up, but at best perhaps....as ___ (bad ?) as Tom and Jerry.... {nm} 3ebfan511 Mar 05, 18:24

Disney has 10 times the engagement that HBO has. If the movie does half of TOM AND JERRY at the box office, Disney will be dancing {nm} Moviesnob Mar 05, 18:27

I doubt it, nor would that make sense......but they likely care more about the PVOD numbers. {nm} 3ebfan511 Mar 05, 19:36

thats why they didnt push theatrical (and held to their film terms) and will be happy with what they are getting there. {nm} Moviesnob Mar 05, 19:55
