if every studio had done with their direct to streaming features what Paramount did with Maverick, it would be on parity

Maverick represents the extreme exception. Halloween 2021 is the playbook to use. - David Sep 27, 11:39 3
- Hollywood didn’t have enough legit product so they reverted back to the old standby of September is a dog month. - Will Hunting Sep 27, 12:08 1
  - they have plenty of exhibition-worthy product. they choose not to put it all in theaters first like pre-2020 - hollywood big shot Sep 27, 12:15
- *Tim Robinson hot dog costume GIF* they're gonna find the guy who did this! -- nm - hollywood big shot Sep 27, 11:41
if Turning Red alone got a full theatrical run, you're historically over $350 already -- nm - hollywood big shot Sep 27, 11:25 10
- Given the way Lightyear bombed, I doubt it. -- nm - Inigo Sep 27, 11:59 5
  - Tim Allen coulda saved September! -- nm - Spawn Sep 27, 12:08 1
    - the only problem with Lightyear was that it’s a dumb premise nobody was asking for and executed poorly, like all the sequel junk that Disney forces on - hollywood big shot Sep 27, 12:43
  - anyway... even looking at annual #s, major studios are putting 26 fewer releases in theaters versus 2019 (61 to 87) so yeah the take is gonna be down -- (link) - hollywood big shot Sep 27, 12:07 2
    - There's down, and then there's the 25-year storm. -- nm - David Sep 27, 12:18 1
      - year end is still predicted to end up $7/8b versus $11b in 2019. but that’s not enough to run a theatrical chain 12 mos of the year - hollywood big shot Sep 27, 12:37
- September releases, dude. -- nm - David Sep 27, 11:30 3
  - Hocus Pocus 2 woulda done it. alas . . . -- nm - hollywood big shot Sep 27, 11:38 2
    - Still might. Disney holds all the power. -- nm - David Sep 27, 11:39 1
      - 3 days to change everything! -- nm - Spawn Sep 27, 12:07
