So this is the new year and the weekend box office numbers don’t look any different. Well, they look a little different, in the sense that there are a couple of names that weren’t there the last time we checked in, but everything still feels almost the same as in recent months. For those in need of an update, here’s how this has worked since U.S. cinemas began to reopen: a new movie comes out every week and well money that is still not quite what a big movie would pre-pandemic, while all other movies are shrinking. If no new film comes out, the most important film from the previous week stays as it earns significantly less money. Basically, it’s an extremely unsustainable situation where studios are reluctant to release too many great films, people are reluctant to risk their lives and the lives of others by watching films that aren’t a big deal and the theater industry you need to keep coming to see movies to be afloat. Each side only gets what it wants by depriving another side of what it wants (also known as capitalism).
This brings us to Wonder Woman 1984, which is technically the first film to come out in Warner Bros. ‘ Christoper Nolan challenging Plan for will simultaneously release all of his new films in 2021 on HBO Max and in cinemas (keeping everyone happy in theory, if not in practice). That was it Wonder Woman 1984The second week on the release lists after it hit the market at Christmas, and so far it has already earned about $ 28.5 million relatively impressive. Without knowing how many people broadcast it on HBO Max, this seems to indicate that, although it is the only example of the books, Warner Bros. it looks like the scheme works. The film is available to play without endangering anyone’s life, but it is still made well money. And it’s having a sequel!
Anywhere else on the graphic lists we have The Croods: A New Age, which earned $ 2.1 million (for a total of $ 34 million), and World news, which joined Wonderful woman on the list last week and has earned a total of $ 5.4 million. Then we have it Monster Hunter, which has the sole charge of being a video game movie that is only found in theaters during a pandemic, so we should praise the gods of the movie that is earning nothing ($ 1.2 this week , $ 5.4 million in total). Completing the first five is Fatal, which added just $ 700,000 to its total of $ 3 million.
