    Also Netflix would arguably make more money with a 30 day theatrical window on major titles . They will be required to since many directors and actors have box office deals in place

    For the deal to LEGALLY pass they can’t do just that . Some of yall are damn near pro paramount just for guaranteed theatrical window

    Literally every anti paramount post is this

    I mean both have major cons . I don’t like Zionist paramount Trump aligned . I don’t like Netflix possible short theater window . Acting like either is the end of film like come on stop being dramatic hyperbole

    This kills the non blockbusters even more cuz adult dramas and thrillers rely on legs/word of mouth to make their money

    Exactly. And not everyone is on film Twitter rushing to see movies in their first weekend and moving on from them a week later

    Movies are still making hundreds of thousands in their 3rd week. I’ve brought this up before but Anyone But You would’ve been a flop if it was pulled after 2 weeks. Now it’s credited for bringing romcoms back to theaters

    I rewatched Oppenheimer weeks later for a third time because it was still theatrically exclusive at that point.

    If more movies did longer theatrical windows, there'd be more push to see them more often/spread out like that

    Do films make a majority of their box office after the first 3 weeks? Obviously not.

    But why should potential hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars that are found in the late weeks of a theatrical windows just be completely thrown away?

    A film like Sinners made $50M domestic cumulative from its 5th week through its 9th week. That’s a good chunk of money that would’ve never existed had the film been pulled after its 3rd week (that’s almost 20% of its total domestic box office btw)

    I went to the theatres probably 60 times last year but mostly i was going to see classics that had special screenings
    I saw a lot of the new studio movies but usually in the first 2 weeks they were out
    I think f1 is the only one i saw late

    lol this is my hot take too . We all talk about the fall off after first two weeks. Empty theaters. People on here doom posting “ man of tomorrow will possibly only be in theaters for 20-30 days “ like theaters don’t have damn near empty showings after that time . Anime movies be in theaters quick rake up the money and get out .

    You not answering the question yall do this “ Netflix slop anyone who likes Netflix is a dumbass “ s*** all day on here . Not every movie needs 45 days in theaters . Many major films would still likely get an extended window not all . This uppity “ we are better cause we saw in theaters “ as the cost of living goes up and theaters in most states are overpriced at times 20-30$ for a single person yet alone a family ( where the real money is ) . IMAX screens are liemax. We lack 70mm. AMC is feasting off subscription but are the movies in most cases ? No

    It cost money to rent a screen for that extra time . I’ve seen a movie later and been the only one in the theater even on major movies . Sinners had good word of mouth kept going . I think they adapt to how it’s going . We are not talking special cases we are saying NOT EVERY MOVIE NEEDS THAT LONG.
