 Re: Universal Putting Films on VOD
I don't want to spend $20 on Bloodshot but if I'm desperate enough maybe...

 Re: Universal Putting Films on VOD
Don't its not worth $20 unless you are watching with the whole family or a group of friends/neighbors.

 Re: Universal Putting Films on VOD
It will be very depressing if the theatrical window is killed as a result, but I imagine there will be a lot of people eager to get out of the house at first opportunity.

 Re: Universal Putting Films on VOD
The movie theater business will rebound. People like going to the movies and it’s a great activity for dates, end of shopping trips, weekend boredom.

 Re: Universal Putting Films on VOD
I don't think we will get those numbers right now but eventually we might. Maybe Trolls might be a bigger deal.

 Re: Universal Putting Films on VOD
Hmm so they're saying biggest of all time overall?
They probably wont release any #s unless it's really huge. Interested to see what else ends up going this route.

 Re: Universal Putting Films on VOD
Even real numbers might be useless since we have nothing to compare them too. If SCOOB or Spongebob decide to open like this then we will know it was a huge success.

 Re: Universal Putting Films on VOD
I wonder if these #s are domestic...
If it's just domestic $20m+ on first day is pretty great. That said these rentals won't be like regular box office so who knows if it'll do $100m+ just based off these rentals. If it does (and apparently studios get $80% of digital $) this could be a game changer.

 Re: Universal Putting Films on VOD
I think Universal said they need 12 million rentals to break even on it. They say that it'll be hard to judge as family films will need a lot more rentals to compensate for larger groups that rent them vs. adult themed films.

Sets the base for future releases (if any).
