Re: Challengers weekend thread Challengers budget is higher than I thought (50 mil) so this might only be ok for it.

Re: Challengers weekend thread Not awful but not great for Challengers. Will need to do very well overseas to break even.

Re: Challengers weekend thread That would normally be great for this type of movie, but the budgest is higher than it ought to be and there's no guarantee of legs outside of oscar season.
April 2024: what went wrong? :-/

Re: Challengers weekend thread Yeah I think 20m+ would have been very good. At least it seems a lot of people are opting to see it in premium screens, I saw it in Dolby which was very much worth it hearing the score blasting through the whole auditorium.
I don't get why all the articles are calling this a romcom lol

Re: Challengers weekend thread The international performance looks pretty weak (9 mil), not a surprise to me going by the Barrabas rule

Re: Challengers weekend thread Challengers will do 50m+ which would be great if it wasn’t for its budget.
Anyone know if it was always intended for theatrical or was it at one point supposed to go direct to Amazon?

Anyone know if it was always intended for theatrical or was it at one point supposed to go direct to Amazon? Streamers (besides netflix) seem to have learned that movies will have more prestige after a theatrical release even if they underperform (like Air or Napoleon). One of these companies needs a huge hit though or they'll probably just make lower budget movies (like Saltburn) and put all their money into shows.

Re: Challengers weekend thread If it was intended for streaming, then any theatrical profit is just gravy. And it will look much more like a success, just like how KOTFM and Napoleon technically lost money if they were conceived for theatrical. But since they were both originally supposed to go straight to Apple, the theatrical money is just extra.

Re: Challengers weekend thread I didn’t know it was an Amazon release. Bringing Zendaya fan Gen Z-ers to it is probably worth it.

Re: Challengers weekend thread Shack wrote: The international performance looks pretty weak (9 mil), not a surprise to me going by the Barrabas rule The what now? $15M is ok. This was sold on Zendaya, showing she's not a big draw yet, but not totally irrelevant either. The budget being so high was stupid.

You've pointed out before (probably correctly) international audiences don't like black actresses as much _________________Shack’s top 50 tv shows - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=90227
