You are an idiot.
This isn't 1995.
Nobody is impressed with your ability to use google to find a link to a torrent site.

If Hollywood chooses for you, it is $19.89.
I keep neglecting to hammer this point into 6ixStringJack's head:
6ix thinks ticket sales are declining because Hollywood does not support Trump.
I think Hollywood does not support Trump because he is a would-be dictator and an all-around scumbag criminal, which is separate from the technical problem of Hollywood charging for experiences that can be had for FREE.

Piracy has nothing to do with anything here. Movie piracy has been around since high speed internet was a thing.
Global box office by year since Trump's last year and Biden took office...
2020 $2,113,846,800
2021 $4,482,808,453
2022 $7,369,505,492
2023 $8,361,223,808
That's nearly a 400% increase in 4 years.
I've never said Hollywood is failing because it doesn't agree with Trump.
Not once.
Universal has made $1.5 Billion in profit in 2023.
Disney has lost $1.8 Billion in 2023.
One studio makes movies that people want to see.
The other studio doesn't.
Figure it out.

Quote:This is from 2005. Jay Epstein said that as the "video window" got shorter (the video window is the time between the movie premiere and the video disc going on sale) ticket sales would get smaller. Small enough to be death for Hollywood? Maybe, so he titled his prediction:

Hollywood’s Death Spiral
The secret numbers tell the story.
By Edward Jay Epstein | July 25, 2005, 2:48 PM
After Hong Kong collapsed its video window in 2002, there was a 70 percent reduction in theater attendance. And, as a top studio executive pointed out after studying the problem, “A 6% reduction in attendance in 2000-2001 led to half the movie theaters in the world going bankrupt.” How will Hollywood get out of the death spiral? “That is the $64 billion dollar question,” he replied.
6ix, I doubt you will read the two-part story, but here it is, anyway:
https://slate.com/culture/2005/07/hollywood-s-death-spiral.html
https://slate.com/culture/2005/08/hollywood-s-death-spiral-part-2.html
Hollywood did exactly what Epstein predicted in 2005 would cause Hollywood’s Death Spiral and the pirates are pushing Hollywood to keep the spiral spinning with the pirates' video window of one day to one month, sometimes two months, before the pirates' release.
The high point in ticket sales was 2002 with $16,592,716,235
2023 is not over but sales are $9,152,707,198.
These are Total Inflation Adjusted Box Office. It is a slow death but you could call it Hollywood’s Death Spiral.

And 6ix, I know perfectly well that you hate Disney because it does not support Trump. Don't pretend that hate is not your motivation for writing dozens of different threads about Hollywood movies failing. I see the same hatred from East Texas Trumptards who never heard of Firefly and do NOT post on fireflyfans.net
6ix, stop pretending your psychology is different than typical Trumptards. You are so not special.
I hate Trumptards because you are crappy workmen who steal fuel and tools. The richer Trumptards have the same rotten business ethics as Trump. I have to cancel contracts and sue them whenever I make the mistake of giving them work. Trumptards are crooks/thieves/liars/assholes, but what else would you expect from people who feel free of any restraints and always seek only pleasure?

Incorrect. I hate that Disney has turned into what it has turned into, and I love watching it fail because of that.
Donald Fucking Trump has nothing to do with this at all. I know it's hard for you to wrap your one-track mind around that fact because all you ever think about is Trump.

It's not hate. It's schadenfreude. It's deserved.

Every post you make whether it's in the Cinema forums or the RWED comes from the hatred at your core. Including this one.

I hate Trumptards
Yes. This much is very, very obvious.

You don't own a business. You don't have any employees. You've never fired anyone.
You are a serial liar, thief and plagiarist. Plain and simple.
Everybody you have ever known both online and in real life despises you.
You have no value. You have no worth.

Since Trump is a salesman, he sells to you what you want. People like you have wanted Hollywood to die since at least 1939. For example:
The Day of the Locust is a 1939 novel by American author Nathanael West set in Hollywood, California. The novel follows a young artist from the Yale School of Fine Arts named Tod Hackett, who has been hired by a Hollywood studio to do scene design and painting. While he works he plans an important painting to be called "The Burning of Los Angeles", a portrayal of the chaotic and fiery holocaust which will destroy the city. While the cast of characters Tod befriends are a conglomerate of Hollywood stereotypes, his greater discovery is a part of society whose "eyes filled with hatred", and "had come to California to die". This undercurrent of society captures the despair of Americans who worked and saved their entire lives only to realize, too late, that the American dream was more elusive than they imagined. Their anger boils into rage, and the craze over the latest Hollywood premiere erupts violently into mob rule and absolute chaos.
Trump certainly knows who will buy his sales pitch.

"The Taylor Swift and Beyonce Concert Things"
Stay on Topic.
Nobody cares about your asinine opinions.

Bruce doesn't even have Beyonce's thing in the Top 10 this week, but I'm not convinced that wasn't just an oversight on his part.
He's got The Shift in 9th place with $1.16 Million and Silent Night in 10th place with $972k.
Yeah... Beyonce's thing is terrible and lost 75% on the 2nd weekend with a worldwide total under $35 Million, but even if it lost 75% again on the 3rd weekend it would still be $1.37 Million and hit 8th place.
It did $360k on Thursday night. I don't see how it doesn't land 9th place by the time the weekend is over.

Well... as far as placement goes, I'm not wrong so far.
Beynoce's thing comes in under Napoleon by around $90k and above The Shift by about $250k. Silent Night doesn't have any numbers posted yet.
This puts it in 8th place, but we still haven't gotten any numbers for "Christmas With The Chosen", which is a "Special Event"... whatever that means. Bruce predicted it at 7th place this weekend with $2.5 Million, above Napoleon.
I think excluding Beyonce's thing from his predictions for the week was just an error on his part and he didn't really think it wasn't going to make the Top 10.

Well... We'll see what happens when all the movies projections are in for the weekend, but specifically in the case of Beyonce's thing beating both The Shift and Silent Night I was correct. (And it only fell 63% this weekend from its 2nd weekend).
Wonka and whatever "Christmas with the Chosen" (the movie that Bruce predicted 7th place for this weekend) is have not yet put out projections. I have no clue what's going to happen with Christmas with the Chosen or when those projections will be in, but Wonka obviously got 1st place.
Otherwise, the list this weekend is going to be:
1. Wonka
2. Songbirds & Snakes (With another phenomenal hold of only -38%)
3. The Boy and the Heron (Dropping 60% unfortunately and giving 2nd place to S&S)
4. Godzilla Minus One
5. Trolls Band Together
6. Wish
7. Napoleon
8. Beyonce's Concert Thing
9. Poor Things (which also wasn't on Bruce's Top 10)
10. The Shift
11. Silent Night
So yeah... Probably just an oversight on Bruce's part here. I've seen him make mistakes like this before. For instance, to this day, M3GAN is not on his Top 100 Worldwide Box Office list even though it should be at 33rd place under PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie and above some Chinese flick called Under the Light.
With only $36.3 Million Worldwide, this thing isn't getting close to even $50 Million. I think everyone involved is extremely disappointed in this performance even though everyone did make at least some money off of it.
