THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
A couple has anything lived up to expectations in a month, worse yet a few post down asks about multiplier and
the only ones that will get that 3.0 are the smaller budget. I have been saying since Iron Man 2 the month looks bad and June looks not much better. If I understand correctly the industry needs KFKID to raise all boats at the box office.
This is only my second summer of active trading and posting. I do not mean any disrespect this is only my opinion. If the facts I get from other sites is correct ticket sales are down 2% for the year and what is pushing the BO is gadget sales of 3D surcharges.
I think the summer line up was a mistake and some of the bigger money makers will be crowded and we will be in July before the weekend takes will be something worthy of waking up mamma.
(This was just to point out that last May wasn't *THAT* much better... not really to argue this was the worst May ever.) Jun 01, 10:26
I'm saying for the whole Month of May. 2010 is ~$778M which is just better than 2001 and 2000. Jun 01, 10:28
Yeah, it's a down month for sure... some surmise that the downturn in the stock market recently hasn't helped... Jun 01, 10:49
I also attribute it to uninspiring movies not worth their price in admission. {nm} Jun 01, 22:03
I can say that Star Trek was no anomoly, I preached the message with all my first posts. Jun 01, 10:37
Last year also had Wolverine ($85M+), Night at the Museum ($70M) and Up ($68M). So Star Trek wasn't really an anomaly. {nm} Jun 01, 11:23
ERC says worst Memorial Day in 17 years {nm} Jun 01, 10:24

I don't want to over simply, but it was the worst in 10 years because the films weren't very good. {nm} Jun 01, 10:35
Agreed, and it's not gonna turn around until we get that breakout hit. {nm} Jun 01, 10:38
In an age of twitter a bad movie will not have repeat business, it may not get out of the starting blocks. MacGruber! {nm} Jun 01, 10:39
Except 90% of what you'll read on Twitter about MacGruber is positive... Jun 01, 10:51
a 2 1/2 hour running time probably didn't help much either... {nm} Jun 01, 10:52
No, but I bet we see it do fine over the next few days and Friday... Jun 01, 10:56
I am sure it is more than twitter, and it may do very well in the home market (uncut version). SATC2 will make some money back Jun 01, 13:06
Terminator and Night at the Museum 2 weren't that good either... I'd say on par with this weekend's offerings. {nm} Jun 01, 18:26
