abduleez1: Finally, you've made a box office forecast that I can concur with, although I tend to agree more with the predictions that hover around $90 million. However, given the fact that the previous film made over $750 million globally, this one might surpass that amount. Tom Cruise is an unstoppable force, and his persistent hard work in this franchise has been paying off ever since the first flick dropped. None of this scientology rubbish is holding him down. Not to mention the promotion for this film and the generally positive early reviews from critics. Although there is undoubtedly fierce competition this month, I am confident that this film will be the biggest. Oppenheimer and Barbie fans will both agree that this one is worth seeing. |

SOZINN: Sadly this movie has incredible pressure to perform... It'd need Top Gun: Maverick level of BO performance to make some profit due to its insanely large budget. Of course, everyone knows MI7 will easily do well against Barbie and Oppenheimer (except Barbie over performs). It's the blockbuster movie of July. However, It has to earn at least $1bn to be able to have a chance at profit. Anyways, Tom Cruise somehow saved Paramount as well as good exec decisions from getting bankrupt. Their theatrical business has massively suffered since the past 4yrs after Transformers 5. 2022 was a good year for them and being back in the business with full strength. SONY somehow became bigger than Paramount. WB seem to be in this rut now. π€ 2 Likes |

This is why Hollywood needs to fvvking control their budgets. Damn... Just puts unnecessary pressures on these movies to perform. Although, most of these were impacted by COVID shutdown and some reshoots. See list of $200mn plus budgets and we not even Talking of Apple TV's Killers of The Flower Moon and Napoleon $200mn budgets. ππ€―

abduleez1: I still think they can pull it off. The box office has been moving crazy this year but everything is going well for this franchise. It depends on how you look at it. In terms of box office revenue SONY should be bigger currently, they are seriously feasting on CBM. Paramount has their own projects that are sure to turn in bank profits per year but nothing comes close to Marvel CBM money. However, Paramount sits at the helm of a bigger conglomerate so there are still four big revenue resources to draw from; ViacomCBS, CBS, MTV and Nickelodeon. So it's possible that they are earning more than SONY if you look at the broader picture. |

abduleez1:Wow. Thanks for this bro Reason I asked is because I only know the works of Greta based on hearsay. I'm yet to watch any of her movies (I'm still in the phase of consideration). Based on what I've been hearing about her, I just felt the need to get your opinions in comparism with a female director whose works I'm familiar with. From the response I've gotten here, I think I'll give her movies a try (no room for Barbie though). Thanks to you and Sozinn once again |

SOZINN: Yea, they possibly still has a billion in sight. Yep, SONY is bigger in box office revenue for some years now. @ Bolded, Not really.... SONY Corporation is a bigger conglomerate than ViacomCBS (now Paramount Global). SONY group has the video games and console, music industry, camera, consumer electronics, chipsets etc that makes the whole conglomerate far bigger than Paramount. Unless you talking specifically about their multimedia business. Still, that doesn't mean they're less pressured to perform because they have other large arms to generate revenues. Each subsidiary should be responsible for itself. Paramount's former CEO had to resign early 2018 because of the disastrous box office of 2017. So there's that, especially when you remember WBD has several subsidiaries they get revenues from but people mostly think they broke cos of their struggling theatrical business. |

abduleez1: Ofcourse SONY is bigger if you want to consider other factors outside multimedia but maybe I didn't get you the first time. When you said "SONY somehow became bigger than Paramount" what were you referring to? I agree that they are not less pressured to perform, success in the theatrical business is very, very important. Paramount's former CEO was just failing all round, aside the high profile creative failures at the box office, they didn't launch any new successful brands because of a host of other setbacks, even the TV section was not left out. On top of it he refused to bow to pressure and step down, and yes 2016 and 2017 were the worst years for their film division under his tenure. Although we still have to give him roses for the Transformers franchise and the Star Trek reboot. I think Warner Bros Discovery might be going broke because of other reasons as well not just their failed theatrical releases but I know there are some ongoing changes that are being made to ensure success in the long run but time will tell. |

SOZINN: Yeah, I was actually talking about Sony Pictures outgrowing Paramount Pictures in the theatrical business for the last 4 years. It's kinda shocking to me how a conglomerate like that could be so mismanaged. There was a time in 2018 or so when Paramount wasn't even among top 6 studios in US and Canada in terms of domestic box office for a year. Even minnows like MGM and Lionsgate they take over e position. I digressed to Sony Group cos I thought you were talking about the parent company size when you mentioned ViacomCBS. I agree, their Transformers run then was unparalleled despite people complaining back then. It's wait and see now sha, although Paramount looks like it's under better leadership now. Especially it's programming in horror genre. I like the smart decision of trying to expand the Avatar: The Last Airbender universe and explore it for theatricals. It's a smart move. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by SOZINN: 12:51am On Jul 07, 2023 |
abduleez1: Let's just hope Paramount can maintain the momentum they've gained in order to remain among the top 5 revenue-generating studios. I believe that the top positions are competitive right now, with only reputable names occupying them; there is no room for minnows anymore because the big sharks have improved. I also think they are being led more effectively too, and their revenue has undoubtedly increased significantly. They crossed the $30 billion milestone in 2022, which was a significant achievement for them as they had not done so in the previous ten years. Their own streaming channel was introduced, they increased their reliance on digital services and they acquired Miramax and MTV Entertainment Studios. They are now in a better position to ensure continued growth thanks to these and some of the other strategic plans you mentioned. Things are really looking up for them. |
