It looks like Black widow made $80m in the USA and another $70m Global
not sure if they lost money but I don't think they will lose, they will make profit but... it wont be the same I remember the days when people would be packed in like sardines and cinemas around the world would be full but now a lot of theatre are closed
...maybe they should have brought this movie out a few years back
its projected to make money
https://www.the-numbers.com/international-charts-overview
https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/world/
Godzillia made millions, the Detective Chinatown 3 a crime drama comedy movie in Tokyo made millions, another Fast and Furious Car Thriller Driving Action movie made millions, another from Asia 'Hi Mom' a Chinese movie Nihao, LiHuanying made hundreds of milions, sequels to the Quiet Place and the Conjuring made millions but these movies have been out for weeks upon weeks, months without contest
Black Widow is released during a Covid year, it is already in the top 10 for 2021 Worldwide Box Office
but in thoery if you released a good movie for the Dutch and everyone going to cinema in Holland bought tickets to the movie
your film in the Holland film industry could outsell Marvel's biggest box office movie
I don't think Hollywood is ever coming back, better tax breaks are offered in Hawaii in Canada in Oklahoma, they help productions film and movies get produced in Massachusetts and Georgia, the Germans, aussies, Japanese and S.Koreans have good Animation support and Film Incentives, some give granst to arts that employ people, rebates and tax credits, even before all this Weinstein scandal stuff broke and rules and regulation with Corona lockdowns Hollywood California has just become too expensive.
Texas straight up offers its writers and actors and film makers grants to make films.
Are the Dutch in Europe back to normal? the Holland Netherlands box office is coming in close to $100,000,000 box office again
However another Corona virus strain and Lockdown would kill the box office.
Europe will continue making Indie films but the big Production will now probably be spread all across the world from places like Austin Texas to China/Asia.

This might be what cinema has needed for years. To murder Hollywood.
Of course Hollywood isn't anywhere near as toxic as television, and the new online medias are drifting towards tv. It's time for some serious decentralization

I'm enjoying watching Hollywood burn.
Speaking of which, you ever see "Burn, Hollywood, Burn"?
Great flick. Too intelligent for JSF.

I hear other parts are doing the Lockdown Boogaloo again.
But my theater was practically Sold Out for the 12:40 pm showing on Tuesday for Free Guy, in it's 3rd week of release.
Not shabby.

Care to provide a list? I don't do clickbait slideshows.
I certainly don't do them when they push a Covid agenda.

Real Shootings on set killing real epople
district attorney took issue with people calling it a “prop gun” as, she said, it was not.
“It was a legit gun,” she said. “It was an antique-era appropriate gun.”

NewMexico authorities recovered hundreds of rounds of ammunition from the set of “Rust” following the fatal AlecBaldwin-involved shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

I'm not sure I agree with this list - for example 'Birds of Prey' mentioned

Do we even have a Marvel's Eternals thread???
It's a strange case. It was hovering around 60% critics score on RT for a week or so and just today went to 49% rotten after a two day slide.
Also, just today, audience score has started to be tabulated and it's in the mid-80's.
That alone isn't strange. Woke critics often are out of touch with what people actually think.
But this movie is being marketed as a wokefest. Nobody knows who the Eternals are, or what the movie is about, but they've all heard non-stop about how glorious and diverse the cast are.
Is Disney/Marvel trying to game the system and subvert expectations in real life? They have to know by now that if critics hate a movie there is a very good chance that people will turn out to see it. Are they paying critics to make this film rotten?
Maybe it's a desperation move?
It's already not going to be shown anywhere in China and most of the Middle Eastern countries.

Looks like Disney is going to bend the knee and remove the man-on-man kiss scene from the Eternals for the Muslim countries because they know they're going to hemorrhage money on this dumpster fire. This coming after they said a week ago they were refusing to do so.
The Rotten Tomatoes audience score is sus as hell. Half the comments look like a YouTube spambot wrote them. There's no way that the audience is enjoying this.
Critics score is down to 48% with the "Top Critics" filter dropping it to 40%.
