You're acting like nobody has heard of one of the most popular Broadway musicals of all time. That's akin to me saying "Star Wars? Who's ever heard of that?". You should probably know what is and isn't popular and well-known before making assumptions over what will and won't succeed.GodzillaFan1990's wrote:Not everyone knows popular franchises you know.UltramanGoji wrote:Please tell me you're joking.

I mean it did start off as an play. Isn't that technically the same as an Broadway musicial?UltramanGoji wrote:Bro. Please. You have to be joking.
Oh god, it looks like very chaotic working on a cinema. That actually makes me very preoccupied of Godzilla vs Kong. I hope it doesn't disappear from the theaters so soon as KOTM did.UltramanGoji wrote:You're acting like nobody has heard of one of the most popular Broadway musicals of all time.

Movies being released so tightly together creates a massive problem no matter the type of movie. Screen real estate is the absolute biggest problem you can have with this situation.
Every movie theater has a set amount of screens. I'll use the one I work at as an example, there's twelve screens for that theater. The manager of each theater is going to have to go through and choose a set amount of screens for each and every movie that comes out a certain weekend as well as keep up with demand for films that are already out.
December 18th is in the middle of a huge wave of films. Twelve theaters are gonna need to be filled and usually with Disney mandates that means at least two screens but we'll go easy and say two for Black Widow and only one for Soul. Then you have NTTD, a likely successful enough film to warrant one theater, then Free Guy and Samaritan, then Coming 2 America. That's seven screens gone and we haven't even reached past the supposed release date. West Side Story is absolutely going to be the breakout star that weekend so give it another two theaters as well. Nine auditoriums full. Let's add one more straggler from the past month in to fill a smaller theater with Clifford and one more film in Happiest Season that's probably going to be gone the next weekend. Finally, let's plop GVK in there. All full!
But then comes the next weekend with Top Gun, Tom & Jerry, and Croods. So now the whole thing we just did? We have to go through it again and shift theaters even more.
You get what I'm saying? Different demographics won't mean poop if the theaters are already crowded as is with enough films to fill every screen. GVK is in a precarious spot whether it's November or December. Stop thinking little of other big hits around that time, you're just setting yourself up for maximum disappointment.
When those fleeting lives destined to die, forget their humbleness and sing praises of their glory, such will shake the very heavens and split the earth, and they shall know the wrath of the divine. The inevitable incarnation of destruction. So, you show yourself at last. Since we last saw each other, it has been 20 years for us and 20,000 years for you. It's been a while... Oh, King of Destruction.
It really isn't usually this bad, but this mad rush to get everything out only a week apart from each other is going to make it so.ReiwaGodzilla wrote: Oh god, it looks like very chaotic working on a cinema.

No. Romeo and Juliet was not originally a Broadway musical. It wasn’t a musical and there wasn’t even a Broadway.GodzillaFan1990's wrote:I mean it did start off as an play. Isn't that technically the same as an Broadway musicial?UltramanGoji wrote:Bro. Please. You have to be joking.

Whoa, someone that understands that just because a movie has "different demographics", that doesn't mean it isn't a competitorUltramanGoji wrote:Different demographics =/= easy street for GVK. You don't know how theaters operate.GodzillaFan1990's wrote: Also as mentioned different demographics.

What they should do is take Venom's spot of October 2nd, but I know that won't happenGodzillaFan1990's wrote:At this rate given there's always going to be competition. Assuming COVID-19 persists by November they should just put the movie on hold until things blow over then decide on an new release date and given everything happening right now I could see Toho extending the contract.
That will be my final say on things.
And what happens if the virus continues all year and more competitive movies gets moved to October?Moogabunga wrote:What they should do is take Venom's spot of October 2nd, but I know that won't happen

Just saying. Any longer of this and there's practically no reason to release movies anyway, because everybody's lives will have already been ruined.

lol. Ok doom and gloom.
