Weekend Box Office 12/19 - Spidey Swings to #1 But...
Posted: Sun Dec 19, 2021 9:47 am
This is the box-office marketplace now: SPIDER-MAN/Marvel fans show up and propel a movie, opening against no competition (keep in mind this is actually something nobody pays any attention to now in reporting these numbers) to what looks like an opening that's record breaking.
Meanwhile, the marketplace for "adult" movies? It's gone. Poof. Adios. WEST SIDE STORY is an official bomb (it was going to need $300 mil worldwide to break even apparently). The Del Toro movie has no audience. And IMO it's never coming back, because it was fading before COVID became a thing. Now it's just gone.
