    Agreed it was a epic clip & well played out, it would've been cool if @John Hoey was caught up in it.

    That’s a seriously interesting read. Thanks for posting.

    The big takeaway is, obviously, that Disney had 26% market share last year at the box office, and are expected to have more (likely nearly a third) of the market share this year.

    That they’re implementing unusual rules for theatres wishing to screen The Last Jedi is huge, such as asking for the film to be shown at those theatres for four weeks in their largest auditoriums and for an unprecedented 65% of ticket sales, plus an additional 5% penalty to any theatres/chains who choose to go against their rules.

    Disney shareholders are probably going to make just as much money from TLJ as they did from TFA even if the film takes a noticeable hit in comparison, and that these terms kick in only if TLJ crosses $500 million domestically (i.e. in the US and Canada) is a complete joke: TFA grossed roughly $930 million domestically if my memory serves me correctly, so these rules only don’t come in if TLJ nosedives and doesn’t scrape much more run 50% of TFA’s box office, which, frankly, is going to happen only if something major happened to cinema chains between now and the film’s release.

    This is slightly concerning, though, especially with analogies going around between Disney today doing what MGM did in the 30’s (i.e. having a complete stranglehold on the state of the market).

    If Disney continues going on up in terms of market share, it will eventually crash, which could hypothetically have devastating repercussions for Hollywood. That’s just the long-term.

    In the short-term, you can bet that this sort of thing will have dire consequences for smaller theatre chains, and perhaps even lead to some closures.

    Which is kind of ironic, considering that of the Big Six studios, Disney is the only one that really wants to keep movies in theaters for as long as possible.
