End Of Summer Wrapup


Live on MNN now playing on Youtube. This last show will be repeated thru September on MNN.
OK boys and girls: Today's pass word is "Clue" as "They don't have a friggin clue"


Update:

Wow worse than we thought. Amc theatres lost 45% and Regal lost 28% attendance. If I was working with any of these chains I'll be looking for a new job. Yikes, talk about the writing on the wall.

Adn the numbers are still going down the tubes compare to the past. The whole spectrum is changing and Hollywood refuses to listen. Aren't they watching Game of Thornes. Now those are numbers.

Other details on what is happening at the Box Office. It's pretty obvious that not only the studio doesn't have a clue but when they do get a hint that something is wrong they are in denial. Great management.

Adn they wonder why the Movie Experience is dying a slow death. So many options and built in stay home audiences it's no wonder that Studios still don't have a clue.

Another bad decision. This is so sad in desperation that their trying to catching up with Marvel. Now that they got that Wonder Woman they think they can't fail. This is even worse with their arrogance and killing DC as it is.

As mentioned on the Live show, this just reeks of desperation. But I could see this on the cartoon network or Disney channel on cable. But on the big screen? Really?

They are really pushing this aren't they. Guess they afford to fall flat on thier face if this tanks. But lets face, fans like me will tune in, give it shot but will we take it for a few years. Remember Enterprise tanked after 4 years. While I love the cast and the SFX is greater than ever will that be enough?

Who cares. Just make a good Bond to make up for the last one. That whole thing stunk. And one of the worse thing was the song which got an Oscar. Not even the British recognized that song!
