BOM has the three day at ~$84m. 2021 was ~$144m and 2019 was ~$197m. This is concerning Moviesnob Dec 25, 12:54

2019 was 27th to 29th so no Xmas when its naturally slower {nm} Moviesnob Dec 25, 13:00

The problem is: THERE ARE NO MOVIES PEOPLE WANT TO SEE!! Put good movies out there! goodvibe61 Dec 25, 13:18

Just one example: Look at Christmas, 2018. Look at this list, and then think about this week. goodvibe61 Dec 25, 13:42

I'm guessing there are two factors at play: Some studios want theatrical to fail in favor of streaming; Studios production pipeline DTravel Dec 25, 14:44

Name one studio that wants theatrical to fail {nm} Moviesnob Dec 25, 14:52

Wanting stream to succeed and theatrical to fail is not the same thing, really. TheWeekendWarrior Dec 25, 14:58

And how many of the currently existing streamers were active in Dec. 2018? TheWeekendWarrior Dec 25, 15:22

i made sure to catch Glass Onion in theaters during the week it was available (it would still be raking it in if Lionsgate hadn't ****ed up) {nm} donny blaze Dec 26, 14:56

And another thing...Disney is the big dog in the yard. Everyone cleared the way for Avatar to do 300m opening with a continuing leggy Catzan Dec 27, 22:31
