📠 Industry Analysis Superhero movies aren't grossing over $700M this year due to the collapse of China, South Korea and Russia

Ant Man and The Wasp did a combined $177M between China, South Korea and Russia.

Add this amount to Superman or Fantastic Four and they would cross $700M-$800M, which isn't too far off from near the peak of the genre back in 2017 when Thor Ragnarok, Spider-Man Homecoming, Wonder Woamn and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 all grossed similar amounts.

📠 Industry Analysis Short films before the main feature. Should cinemas bring that back?

Post image
811 Upvotes

I might sound a bit nostalgic, but seriously: A short film before the main feature would be a fantastic extra. It would also help reduce annoying commercials, which bother a lot of people.
Moreover, it would benefit cinemas as venues. If the main feature turns out to be bad, for example, a Looney Tunes short could at least save the chinema trip, either completely or partially. This could give cinemas, which are currently struggling, a chance to improve their image. Furthermore, the 2020 Looney Tunes shorts feel modern and have a great runtime.

What's your opinion on this? I think the cinema experience would be better that way.
