A thing I haven't seen brought up much regarding the big entertainment news of the week:

Box office actually DRIVES views on streaming.

In pretty much every instance, movies that had a theater run do better on streaming.

Here's an article on this phenomenon from last year: archive.ph/JPDhn
Since August 2022, 65 percent of Netflix’s weekly top 10 English-language films were movies it had licensed from studios after they debuted in theaters. And when Nielsen, the audience measurement company, crunched its data for the past two years, only three of its top 20 streaming movies of 2023 had been released straight to a streaming service. (The outliers were Disney’s “Turning Red,” which was first released to its service in 2022; Netflix’s apocalyptic drama “Leave the World Behind,” starring Julia Roberts; and the Jonah Hill and Eddie Murphy comedy “You People.”) Editors’ Picks Is It Ever OK to Go Barefoot in Public? My Apartment Is Way Too Cold! How Do I Make the Landlord Fix It? How to Turn Up the Heat on Your Mulled Cocktails In 2024, only four films in the top 20 went straight to streaming. Two of them, Netflix’s “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” and Amazon’s remake of “Road House,” were based on previous theatrical titles. (The two streaming originals that made the list were Netflix’s action film “Damsel,” starring Millie Bobby Brown, and the heist film “Lift,” with Kevin Hart.) It’s not only new films that benefit from the copious marketing dollars spent on theatrical releases. (Summer blockbusters often cost north of $100 million in global marketing money, while even the smallest films have a hard time opening in theaters with marketing spends lower than $25 million.) When new chapters of a successful franchise are introduced to theaters, they prompt spikes in each company’s catalog of films. Paramount Plus said that when “A Quiet Place: Day One” premiered on its service, viewers increased their “engagement” with the other films in the “Quiet Place” franchise by 207 percent. For “Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One,” the percentage increase in interest in the other “Mission: Impossible” films was 181 percent.

one of many parallels between anti-vaxxers & those who oppose gender-affirming care: they start by pretending they have a very specific concern (MMR vaccine, puberty blockers, etc), but once given any sway or say on the matter, they quickly strive to eliminate all of it

Stunned to learn this news. Udo Kier’s filmography is undeniable, but his place as an out, queer figure in genre was, in a word, crucial. Uniquely eccentric and truly monolithic. Absolutely one of a kind.
bloody-disgusting.com Bloody Disgusting @bloody-disgusting.com · 21d
Udo Kier has passed away at 81. A singular screen presence, Kier had a long history in the horror genre, starring in films including Mark of the Devil, Andy Warhol's Frankenstein, Blood for Dracula, Blade, Feardotcom, Rob Zombie's Halloween, and Dario Argento's Mother of Tears.
