So the cartoon, I read it was broadcast on ABC and Fox but perhaps did not have a worldwide following
it had a DVD region 1 release
but South America, Japan, China, Russia/India, Thailand and Europe are different regions, region 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 region codes

beaten by K-Pop
Hellenic, Europe, Latin America?
DUNE II was one of the biggest international showings world wide then came Wolverine and Deadpool
Brazil is becoming an important market but 'Jung Kook: I Am Still' has beaten the movie Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and the new Transformers One has a poor opening in 3rd place
The Greek market is strange, Despicable Me, It Ends With Us, Speak No Evil, Lee...some of these are old and they are beating the new 'Transformers' and Beetlejuice
one positive they reported
'Box Office Grosses May Surpass Pre-COVID Levels in 2026. That's the Good News...'

however then a Korean boy band movie beat them all, Jung Kook I Am Still seems to be a Taylor Swift thing but with a boy pop star talent show documentary? Jung Kook on a journey showcasing his rise to stardom, creative process, work ethic, and challenges as a global icon, with unseen footage, interviews.
So they lost the number 1 sport to a Korea pop music event movie
then movies started to flop again

I touched on this vaguely in the other thread not realizing you went into this thread with some specifics about KPOP. Now I understand why you mentioned KPOP over there.
My reply to you over there was that I thought KPOP could have a decent Top 10 showing over here depending on the group and how weak the US Box office was that weekend, although it would never get 1st place for the weekend here.
Beetlejuice never had an international audience back when it was released, so outside of Korea and Japan and several other Asian countries I think that's the same phenomena happening here. Had the people of Brazil been waiting 30 years for a sequel to Beetlejuice, some KPOP band would not have taken 1st place in Beetlejuice's 3rd weekend.
And even though I've heard that this Transformers is actually a good movie, I don't think anybody really cares anymore. That's another brand they need to bury in the ground for 20 years before they make another sequel.
I wonder what the people who decided next year's box office is going to be better than the pre-Covid days are thinking.
2024 is terrible compared to 2023. 2023, as bad as it was, was still a big improvement over 2022 as the world was going back to sanity. 2024 should have been better, but people are burned out on all the woke bullshit and with the economy being in the shit tubes they don't want to take that gamble that money better spent elsewhere might pan out to be an enjoyable movie experience. It didn't stop them from going to see obvious blockbusters like Daredevil & Wolverine and Dune II, but it's all the other movies that have suffered from it.
Only two movies broke a billion and besides Dispicable Me 4 nothing else is even close. Two of the top 3 movies are franchise cartoons made for kids.
I look at the current Top 20 list in the world, and I can pick out at least 3 movies that would have done more than half a billion worldwide and bumped the 3 Chinese movies out of the Top 10 in any other year outside of the Covid lockdown years. If this were 2023 and the exact same movies had come out, Hollywood would have had at least 7 or 8 movies that broke half a billion.

Hollywood’s Death Spiral, Part 2
Are movie theaters facing extinction?
By Edward Jay Epstein | Aug 01, 2005 9:13 AM
https://slate.com/culture/2005/08/hollywood-s-death-spiral-part-2.html
The $64 billion question in Hollywood these days is what to do about collapsing the boundary between a movie’s theatrical and video release—the so-called video window. Gradually, this window has shrunk from six months to four months—and, in the case of many children’s movies—to three months. Even worse, DVD releases are often announced while a movie is still playing in the multiplexes. As a result, more moviegoers now wait to buy or rent a movie on DVD, which leads to shorter theatrical runs and a fall in worldwide theater attendance, which in turn puts more pressure on the studios to shorten the window even further.
This death spiral was set in motion by the studios themselves about four years ago. The decision to shorten the video window did not proceed from a new technological development—such as TV in the 1940s or the video cassette in the 1970s—or a change in popular taste. As a top studio executive explained to me, “It was a voluntary decision made for purely financial reasons by the major players. It was done to satisfy quarterly profit goals, nothing more, nothing less.” In short, the studios changed their business model so that they could opportunistically sell DVDs, which, after all, are a conventional retail product like soap or toys.
The Video Window is now 1 month between theater and streaming.

Why are you still bringing up this dumb shit?
I already mopped the floor up with you on this issue half a year ago.
Nobody cares about your opinion.

Quote:Attendance at the theater will continue to decline because the same movie can be seen at home for free. Streaming services will charge exactly the same price regardless of how many movies you watch in a month. To watch one movie per month or thirty per month cost exactly the same, which means the second to the thirtieth movies are free. Theaters charge you separately for all thirty movies. And charge you for each person watching! Streaming services do NOT charge extra when more than one person is watching the same movie at your home.

Bonus for watching movies at home: no obnoxious, smelly, rude, stupid strangers making noises. No long drive to the theater. No overpriced popcorn and soft drinks.

I've shown you countless examples of the exact opposite being the truth. 4 years ago the media couldn't stop talking about how movie theaters and the entire model was dead during Covid lockdowns, and it's still fine despite writers/actors strikes and, the covid lockdowns, a very light 2024 slate and a bad economy. If movie theaters and the entire model was going to break, Covid would have broke it. That didn't happen. We'll see if after a slow 2024 the box office continues to build on its 2023 numbers next year.

And the prices continue to go up all the time, and now they're introducing viewing with ads for people who don't pay double price for the high tier that still is ad free. And the longer the streaming wars plays out, the more those streaming bills are starting to look more expensive than just having Cable TV used to be. I would not expect the streaming market to look anything in 10 years like it does now. It looks nothing like it did 10 years ago either. Who knows what the future or final form of streaming content will look like or how that will keep people from going to the theater at that point in time. But examples like Five Nights at Freddies which grossed well over $300 Million on a $25 Million budget were released on Peacock streaming the very same day it was released in theaters. I'm sure a lot of people watched it at home, but it still made a shocking amount of money in the box office and defied all of the low expectations that had been set up for it pre-release.

I feel you on that one. Most of the time my movie theater going experience was neutral. But the amount of times I've walked out of one feeling great are far outweighed by the times where the experience was ruined by idiots that think they're sitting in their own living room and anybody cares what their opinions are in the middle of a movie everybody else in the room paid to see.

Remember drive-in theaters? It's hard to find one nowadays. I fondly remember watching Disney's Darby O'Gill and the Little People with my parents and sisters at the drive-in. Banshees are scary! Lawrence of Arabia? 2001 A Space Odyssey? I saw those at the drive-in but I couldn't take my great grandchildren to a drive-in theater. Walk-in theaters are drifting in the same direction as the drive-in. Toward extinction since there are far better ways to watch movies, assuming you have the money to buy an 8K TV. Someday everybody will have one. When that day comes, walk-in theaters will go where drive-in theaters went.
