This years ICSC convention in Las Vegas brought me no less than 100 questions about the survival of the movie theatre business. My answer is always the same. The strife on Exhibitors has been horrendous. There has not been any kind of sustainable film product to show in quality or quantity since the beginning of the pandemic and the ensuing Hollywood strikes last year. But never the less, I see the business coming back as film production is ramping up again. There have been many theatre closures (needed) and another 20% will be coming soon; but also needed because of the over-screened theatre market developed over the past robust years. Thus, the movie theatre industry will be smaller, higher quality locations and concepts (because the good ones are sustainable), and film production will come back to a level (albeit a new normal) to match the remaining screen coverage across the country. Rents have either been reset through bankruptcies or negotiations and will continue to get reset through normal lease expirations and extensions. Quality will be a must on both exhibition and production. But I'm a movie theatre real estate guy! Let's hear what a movie studio icon says that's been in the business for the last 40 + years (same as me). https://lnkd.in/ebkMkkHm

The average medium or large movie theater auditorium seats between 200–230 people. In the US, the average number of seats per screen is around 150. These figures highlight the varying capacities across different movie theaters. Reflecting on the power of social media, it's astounding to see the impact a simple selfie can have. My best post of the year garnered close to 50,000 views, emphasizing the reach and engagement potential of online content. As we consider the value of such interactions, it prompts us to ponder the significance of our digital presence and the business connections we forge in the virtual realm. What intrinsic worth do these interactions hold for us personally and professionally? #SocialMedia #Engagement #DigitalPresence

**The Adaptation of *Le Bureau des Légendes* is Out on Showtime – But Will It Live Up to the Original?** The highly anticipated American adaptation of the French TV series *Le Bureau des Légendes* is now streaming on Showtime under the title *The Agency*. With a stellar cast including Michael Fassbender, Jodie Turner Smith, and Richard Gere, the show has garnered an impressive 88% on the Rotten Tomatoes Popcornmeter, signaling strong audience approval. As a fan of the original *Le Bureau des Légendes*, I can't help but wonder how the U.S. version will measure up. The French show was lauded for its authentic portrayal of the gritty and complex world of undercover intelligence work, often diving deep into the psychological toll and subtle dynamics of espionage—elements that felt both grounded and realistic. But here’s the question: will these nuances be lost in translation? With a bigger budget and Hollywood talent, there's always the risk that the show might lean more into action and spectacle, leaving behind the sharp, character-driven storytelling that made the French version so compelling. I’m curious to hear from others—how do you think *The Agency* will compare to *Le Bureau des Légendes*? Will the American adaptation stay true to the original's realism, or will it veer into blockbuster territory? https://lnkd.in/g7Ed-jD6 #TV #Espionage #SpyThriller #LeBureauDesLegendes #TheAgency #MichaelFassbender #Showtime #Entertainment #Adaptations #Skydance

MARTIN GROVE'S HOLLYWOOD REPORT FOR 11/17/24: RED ONE didn't deliver enough green ones to help cure the boxoffice pandemic that began with JOKER 2 in October.   This weekend's only wide studio launch, Amazon/MGM Studios' PG-13 action adventure comedy RED ONE, opened #1 to $34.1M, per Comscore, at 4,032 theatres ($8,451). Produced reportedly for $250M, it was directed by Jake Kasdan (JUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL) and stars Dwayne Johnson & Chris Evans. Its debut beats the $30M Hollywood handicappers were projecting Saturday, but it's still nothing for exhibs to feel good about.   Although ONE is a theatrical dud, it will likely work much better for Amazon as a streaming title with The Rock as a superstar magnet for subscriber eyes. ONE can live on for years as a Prime holiday classic -- whether it is or isn't -- for seasonal viewing as streamers doze on couches globally.   Internationally, ONE is being released by Warner Bros. and has done $50M since opening last week to avoid going head to head this weekend with Paramount's Ridley Scott heavyweight GLADIATOR II -- which ki ked off to $87M overseas.   ONE is tracking best for first choice with men over 25 (six points over norm) and next best with women over 25 (three points over norm). Rotten Tomatoes critics hate it at 33%, but audiences are happy at 89%.   While ONE's modest debut can’t be putting smiles on exhibitors' faces, at least they've got bodies in seats eating popcorn and other concession treats. Exhibs have to hold on until 11/22, when Universal/Marc Platt Productions' WICKED opens to what Hollywood buzzards say will be $80M or more. It's tracking best for first choice with under 25 women (13 points over norm). No scores yet on Rotten Tomatoes.   Exhibs' other big hope 11/22 is Paramount/Scott Free Productions' GLADIATOR II. Insiders expect $65M or more. It's tracking best for first choice with men over 25 (16 points over norm). Rotten Tomatoes critics are an okay 75%.   This weekend's domestic marketplace totaled $73.6M, per Comscore Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian, up 2% from the prior weekend and down 37% vs. this time last year. Comscore's year to date tally has 2024 at $7.08B, down 11.1% from $7.97B in 2023. The previous weekend in 2024 was down 11.4% vs. 2023.   Meanwhile, back at the multiplexes: Sony/Marvel's VENOM: THE LAST DANCE was #2 in weekend four with $7.4M (-54%) at 3,421 theatres ($2,150). It reportedly cost $120M to produce and has done $127.6M domestic.   Lionsgate/Comworld Productions' faith-based THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER was #3 with $5.4M (-50%) at 3,020 theatres ($1,150). It's done $20M domestic.   Next weekend (11/22): WICKED + GLADIATOR II (see above) should pump a lifesaving $145M or more into domestic theatres.   (See more at www.ZAMM.com)   #movies #boxoffice #martingrove #redone                

Interesting from the EBU of what they are trying to do to learn the lessons from what was a very difficult song contest in Malmo: https://lnkd.in/evGujM8M No filming zones and more closed door rehearsals are the perhaps the biggest announcements, delegations filming each other without permission was seen as one of the big points of tension in Malmo. Will be very interesting to see how things play out on the ground in Basel - and what happens if any delegations step out of line #Eurovision #Broadcasting #Safeguarding
