Definitely not the Burbank execs who greenlit spending $270 Million to produce Rachel Zegler's Snow White or the $200 Million to produce Elio. They lost hundreds of millions of dollars on those two '25 bombs combined. :oops: Here's the first pass box office for this weekend as Burbank licks its...

That's how the system I'd been using works, which we referred to as the Imperial system. The Imperial system also accounts for different domestic/overseas box office performances with a 60% take of domestic box office and a 40% take of overseas box office. Plus an assumption that they spent 50%...

Oh, I'd forgotten that factoid! Looking at it from a financial standpoint on the size of the market, and I say this with my B.C. relatives looking down on me and as a general admirer of Canadian pop culture, it's probably done that way for simple convenience. Canada has a current GDP of $2.3...

I haven't been able to find any production budget information from reputable sources for Tron: Ares, after an 8 second Google search. But it should be interesting to find out later this fall what that budget was for that one. I've been getting ads for Tron: Ares on YouTube constantly for the...

And for those who enjoy the last of this summer's cherry-picked data 🍒 to help explain away that loss in Burbank, here's some data that look backward at the early summer months, in addition to looking forward into September. This is "The Economy" and "The Weather" topics that had been used...

In lieu of updating the passing weekend, it's time to celebrate a summer well lived (mostly not at the box office) with the annual TP2000 Global Command Center Labor Day Box Office Wrap Up & Fish Fry! Grab a plate and some extra napkins as we dig in to the facts and data. And there's more tartar...

According to a recent article in Variety, an article that's about 8 years late, that strategy didn't work.

I'm not sure what is offensive about cold hard facts (box office returns, streaming viewership, sales figures, etc.) from the people Bob Iger has placed to be in charge of what were once young male demographic offerings. Quality content appeals, that is correct, but it's obvious that a big...

That picture is just perfection. It sums it all up so magnificently. That Variety has to pretend it doesn't know what's going on and turn it into a 2,000 word investigative piece is the dumb part, because it's already obvious what the problem is in Burbank. It's cringey elitist idiocy like this...

Bingo! A man of any age is, at his core, a very simple creature. That applies to food, comfort, relationships, and also entertainment. A boy under the age of 20 is even simpler than a 50 year old man. It's hardwired into male DNA since the dawn of time. It's nothing uniquely American either...

You have to remember to divide by two, I think. 🤔 @BrianLo, before I do our big Labor Day Weekend Summer Box Office Wrap Up & Fish Fry next weekend, can you remind us if you also divide the profit by two of a movie that goes beyond the break even point in the Metric system (like Freakier...

Weekend box office first pass is in, for the last weekend before Labor Day! We seem to be coasting towards September on fumes at this point. Nothing was really a huge blockbuster this summer, with the lone exception of Lilo & Stitch, made even more profitable with its farmed out production to...

What?!? Burbank has a problem with its new content resonating with boys and young men?!? I'm shocked!!! :eek: Disney spent $5.7 Billion ($4 Billion in 2012) to buy Lucasfilm and the Golden Goose of the Star Wars universe, and then handed it off to this wise elderly lady and her galpals in HR to...

I still remember the surly hostess that staffed the front door of Oga's Cantina in a nearly empty land on my first visit, early evening, in June, 2019. She was barking one word commands at customers in anger, and she looked like she was either ready to have a nervous breakdown and spit on you...

Here's how those three look comparatively, just for fun... Also of note, The Fantastic Four's foreign box office is worse than Superman, which was worse than Aquaman 2.

Sorry for being so late on the weekend box office, but in the midst of summer fun, fun, fun.... here it is! *- thenumbers.com/weekend-box-office-chart

The framing and phrasing on that Tweet does not make any sense, based on the box office data. The Fantastic Four has had very weak legs since its second weekend in theaters, and it's legs got weaker every week since. With its $200 Million production budget, if it gets to $500 Million globally...

I wouldn't hold your breath, I'm still waiting for the remakes of The Apple Dumpling Gang and The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes. I gave up on a remake for The Ugly Dachshund years ago, once Suzanne Pleshette passed away. Burbank just doesn't make gorgeous young starlets any more, so who on earth...

I agree! It's because we're from the Northwest corner of this continent. There's something geo-societal about it, I'm sure. I've been told repeatedly by East Coasters that this trait means we're insane and stupid, but I just think they're jealous. TP2000 Top Tip: I always keep at least one...

Ooh, I'll have to look into that! I was all over the Atkins craze when it first got big in '03 (I read the paperback book, that's how long ago it was!), and have returned to it several times since then when I need to drop 15 pounds fast. It's a fantastic way to go for many folks, especially...
