☆ 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' arrives when movie theaters need it most, after a months-long drought of blockbusters
  + stars: | 2022-11-11 | by ( Travis Clark | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" opened in theaters Thursday night. That leaves "Wakanda Forever" to pick up the slack and give theaters a much-needed win after a drought of blockbusters. The first "Black Panther" opened with $202 million in the US and some projections put the sequel in that range. "Wakanda Forever" opened on Thursday night with $28 million, more than the first movie's opening Thursday of $25 million. But after "Wakanda Forever," it's back to a drought.
☆ Former Disney CEO says the pandemic left a 'permanent scar' on movie theaters, and that business will never return to pre-pandemic levels

Bob Iger, the former CEO of Disney, said that the pandemic left a "permanent scar" on the movie business. Bob Iger, who retired from Disney at the end of 2021, said that the pandemic left a "permanent scar" on movie theaters. "I don't think movies ever return, in terms of moviegoing, to the level that they were at pre-pandemic," Iger said during Vox's annual Code Conference on Wednesday. Before he stepped aside as CEO and into an executive chairman role in early 2020, Iger led the launch of the Disney+ streaming service in November 2019. The head of the National Association of Theatre Owners, John Fithian, doesn't think movie supply will be back to pre-pandemic levels for another 12 to 18 months.
☆ The biggest blockbusters aren't in movie theaters right now — they're on TV: from 'The Rings of Power' to 'House of the Dragon'
  + stars: | 2022-09-07 | by ( Travis Clark | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The blockbusterization of TV has reached a peak with "The Rings of Power" and "House of the Dragon." Meanwhile, movie theaters are experiencing a dire lack of new releases. In fact, the future of "Star Wars" is largely streaming TV — a big loss for movie theaters. "The Rings of Power" is the most expensive TV series ever made, with a production budget of $465 million for the first season. Some examples: Apple is making a TV series set in the same universe as "Godzilla vs. Kong," and Disney is readying its own King Kong series.
☆ Months-old movies 'Top Gun' and 'Spider-Man' scored Labor Day weekend box office wins as theaters sold $3 tickets
  + stars: | 2022-09-05 | by ( Dan Whateley | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Older movies like "Top Gun" and "Spider-Man" beat some newer releases this Labor Day weekend. Theaters saw a bump in attendance after selling heavily discounted tickets to lure in moviegoers. "Spider-Man: No Way Home," which originally came out in December 2021, was re-released as an extended cut. "Spider-Man" was initially projected to top the charts for the weekend but dropped to third as studios reported more data. Another re-release success story from the weekend was "Jaws," which earned just over $3 million for the 4 days.
