The first weekend of the year, which at its peak in 2016 raised $ 219.5 million from Disney’s heat Star Wars The force awakens, recorded about $ 13 million for the entire weekend. It is a continuously decimated exhibition market that hopes to reopen in 2021.
Warner Bros. ‘ theatrical release of Wonder Woman 1984, which is also available on HBO Max for the next 21 days, $ 5.5M, -67%, for a domestic BO running $ 28.5 million. From this kind of drop, it seems that the entire audience of people at the cinema finally understood that they can see the film at a cheaper price for the family at home on HBO Max. Warners has not yet provided concrete numerical details about the peak of subscribers or views for WW1984. This is opposed to other photos respecting a theatrical window.

Despite the terrible New Year’s weekend, some photos recorded weekend-to-weekend earnings in their revenue over the previous 3-day Christmas, that is, Monster hunter, Fatale, Croods 2, Pinocchio, War With Grandpa, Come Play, or decent detentions, that is Promising young woman and World News. In addition, showing that some habits of going to the cinema have not changed even with fewer people going, Saturday’s daily box office for most of the top 10 best-selling films was, on average, + 11% compared to Friday.
While Warner is beating the drum on the global summit, now in $ 118.5 million, which, let’s face it, would be significantly greater if the studio expected that support for a healthier time on the market, box office analysts believe Patty Jenkins’ film will fail by about $ 40 million in a domestic market where 60% of all the 5.5 K cinemas are closed. Warner’s Principle, with the Regal # 2 chain open for most of that photo’s showing, it stopped at $ 57.9 million. A reminder that with fewer box office DMAs open, major labels are also maintaining their usual sustaining marketing spending.
In the meantime, read the Twitter feed @HBOMaxHelp and you will see that streaming failures continue in the wake of DC, specifically on the Roku device. Here is just a public example of the weekend:

Although it has already been reported that critics bitterly embittered the film, lowering their Rotten Tomatoes score from 89% certified on December 16 to 60% new, the same was true of the public reaction (ie current B + for the sequel versus the one in the first photo) Social media analyst RelishMix noted that the recent social media conversation in the DC sequence was rated 4.5 out of 10 on its conversation meter.
“Convo before launch was exceptional in tracking the next chapter. But from the opening, the conversation is wildly mixed, with questions about the exceptional powers of ‘The Dreamstone’, the revival of Chris Pine’s character, until the transformation of Kristen Wiig. The review points deepen the pace of the story, as well as the Wonder Woman moments throughout the film. The fans are waiting for a return in 2021 to the big screen with popcorn, as soon as possible ”, reports RelishMix.
That said, the social media push for the photo, especially by star Gal Gadot, was wonderful. “The social channels for WW84 on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram, with the film’s official pages (3.9 million), the studio (53.8 million) and DC channels (8.2 million) – Gal Gadot’s social media universe ( 60.5 million) is the biggest driver of engagement since opening. Specifically, activity on Instagram Gadot during the week reached more than 8 million likes ”.
Since Christmas Day, Gadot’s hottest post has taken fans behind the scenes, which they clearly enjoy, with 2.7 million likes and over 10,000 comments on the image:
At TikTok, Gal Gadot and his marketing / glam-squad did not miss a beat with the continuous posting to extend to another 1.2 million fans.
