US theaters have suffered with the advent of the pandemic and strike-related supply-chain delays. While the box office has struggled to reclaim its pre-pandemic prominence, Cinemark CEO Sean Gamble has reassured investors that studios will focus on theatrical releases once again.
So put it this way. Two years ago, right around now, you had a brand new Batman film opening. And it opened right after Omicron was happening.And people still came out to over $130 million opening weekend. Now, this last weekend, we had Dune Part 2, $82.5 million. Nothing to sneeze at. More than double what the first dune made.
It's a very sensitive topic over there. But it's opening Japan at the end of this month. So it might be a big Oscar winner when it finally opens. It's like the restaurant business. You can eat food at home. You can go out to a restaurant. Both can succeed. But they have to be good. So people will go out with different challenges. It's just got to be the right thing at the right time.And are we getting that? That's the other big question, right? There's been a lot of complaints about. And Bob Iger was asked about this recently, right? The equalization of content.That's one of the big mistakes over the last couple of years. Quality versus quantity. Too much quantity. Mediocrity doesn't sell anymore.
