Maverick, Mario and Avatar crushed it

I tell you what, Iger does not want to the boss "who broke" a 100-year-old company.
It's in his best interest to fix things for his legacy.

They are cost related. Disney needs to be spending a lot less making movie - their family oriented animated and live action films shouldn’t cost more than $100-150M to make at most.
I am not denying their success… I actually watched Avatar and Maverick in the theater…but I know several people who have been taught to wait for streaming…so I think it is true that some movies would have done better pre-pandemic…I am not one of them… I still think theaters are still the best way way to screen a movie

Some movies have done fine, sure, but the overall film industry is depressed in 2023 compared to pre pandemic. A film that is just as “well received” now in 2023 would make less money than it would have in 2019. I highly doubt Aladdin would have made $1B if it were released today just because of moviegoer behavior shifts.
Getting to a billion always seemed like a stretch for TLM to me. It would have had to have been exceptionally loved to get there in today’s market and the release schedule in the month after wasn’t favorable.

Because it is next on the list of doing them all.

Exactly. Spiderman is released tomorrow. The TLM will drown at that time.

Unless they are removing TLM from theaters to make room for the spider I am not sure the spider will affect TLM
But I agree, the spider is going to be a smash hit in my opinion.

They literally are.
Spidey is going to gobble up a decent chunk of the PLF screens and then Transformers will take over whatever's left the following week.
i dont know if this has been answered before but does anyone know how AMC A-List app subscribers tickets count toward box office numbers? I pay 20 bucks a month and can see 3 movies a week at any AMC and I usually see 3-4 a month so it pays for itself, good deal imo. But do those tickets count towards ticket sales numbers or not?

My theater is going from 12 showings of TLM down to 8 showings because Spiderman has 15 showings tomorrow. Also the 6pm till 9:30pm showings of TLM have ten or less people in them. While the 8:20 show today for Spiderman is almost sold out.

I believe it basically counts as if you had paid full price for a standard format 2D showing in that time slot.

That is a problem for TLM then I presume.

That's a really great deal. 12 movies a month for $24.99. I wish our closest AMC wasn't ten miles away. I have a Harkens that is 2 miles away.

Somebody makes money. The question is how much money does Disney get from these type of ticket sales?
