#BoxOffice : #TheSuicideSquad Took A Near-Record 82% Drop On Its Second Friday via @forbes by @ScottMendelson
Everything this year is dropping like a rock in it's second weekend. Not one movie has had a decent hold. Even Fast 9 which had no streaming option fell 68%.
Only like 80% of theaters opened back up, vaccinations have lagged which has caused less people to be comfortable going out, the Delta variant has cut that down even more, and there are a shite load of people who flat out don't have the disposable income to be spending on movies right now. Throw in concurrent streaming options for many of these movies or at worst a 3 month wait for films to hit movie channels/streaming platforms and you have a recipe for massively front loaded takes that are nowhere near what they would have been pre CV19.

I think there's a significant portion of the population who realized they didn't need movies, or at least realized watching movies at home is just as enjoyable as going to a theater. I think Hollywood made a mistake by collectively halting every release for over a year.
