-rubs temples- yep… all is fine. Mmhmm

Yes, it is inspired. It was not Japanese produced, but still falls in the category of “what is happening…”

I was thinking about this a lot today. As someone who has been involved in the anime industry for decades, this a truly amazing time for the art form.

As a semi-pro box office analyst… what in the world is happening? Between Demon Slayer, K-Pop, and now Chainsaw… what a bizarre year.

Yep. If WB gets acquired by the likes of Skydance the number will go down as well. I expect to see a lot more stunt releases like KPOP

Those WBD rumors just got a tad more intriguing

But… but… I keep hearing that theatrical is back! (They still refuse to acknowledge the foundations of the experience need to change)

… it’s not Waterworld Part 2. Summer down

Taylor Swift single-handily saving cinema

My mother passed away 77 days ago, and bills are still coming in a nickel at a time. $246 here... $108 there. How about hospitals hand one you one giant bill and THEY divvy it up instead of me having to sit like a freakin' hawk on the mail making sure no more bills are trickling in?

It’s so sad it’s the last one…

The fact it held #1 for a second week is insanity. What lesson Hollywood takes from this will be intriguing. (Spoiler: No matter what lesson they take, it will be the wrong one)

I’m really enjoying how people are using this as soon sign that theatrical is back to pre-Covid and theatrical is saved. Never mind both attendance and revenue are down, but we’re back, baby!

Disney Sea is so on my bucket list. Of course it opened after I stopped going to Japan on business

A seriously overlooked system

Haven't flown since 2020... can't say I'm missing it.

It is the last one!

This year...

Kidding aside, WOW.

Yeah, if I could ever get a picture that meets their requirements!

Alpha Flight doesn’t get nearly enough love

Nope

The fact that Survivor Australia v The World isn't being shown officially in the U.S. is a tragedy. It has been an incredibly fun season #survivorau

... yay?

Marvel has a LOT of thinking to do about its future.

Perhaps AMC needs to get over themselves...

That was kind of my thought as well.

The question for me on this one is, would it have done this if it were a straight-up release and not a sing-along version that had the benefit of the wild popularity of in-home viewing?

It's definitely interesting from a revenue standpoint, but it also feels a bit chick-or-the-egg to me.

Sadly, the owner is human garbage. When a Marvel exec named Carol Kalish passed away, he wrote a letter to CBG stating how it was good for the industry she was gone. The reason? She had stopped him reportedly abusing their return system.

He celebrated a woman’s death. He deserves nothing.

Ooooooooof

Blather… just means fall/winter is coming and I am not in the mood for that nonsense

Roku’s new Howdy channel has the Mr.T cartoon… $2.99 a month subscription justified

Looking at the release schedule for the rest of the month… oof

Unless the character has significant mental trauma and dresses like an air rodent, DC just can’t seem to catch a win at the box office. I’m intrigued by the two upcoming projects, but from a BO perspective I have a lot of concerns.
