In the note
Although WB did a nice job of putting the variations of Batman and other top shelf DC characters up front, this is still a movie with a Title character at the same level as Black Adam or Shazam.
Friday, October 20, 2023 Third weekend of October 2023
In the note
We’ll have a nice box-office weekend this weekend, but it should fall short of both 2022 (Black Adam, Ticket to Paradise) or 2019 (Halloween) by 10% to 20%, but when you look at a 10 year average for the weekend, it’s going to be right at the average. Thanks to all of you who responded to last week’s email, pointing out how anyone who is enough of a ’name’ to have a quote has a streaming quote and a non-streaming quote; and the streaming quote is considerably higher (to make up for a lack of backend/residuals).
