Still, every step forward for the movie industry this year has been accompanied by setbacks.
“This Thanksgiving weekend at the box office should be very encouraging to the industry, for whom these audiences have been the toughest to bring back to movie theaters." “After all the talk of the reticence of certain demographics to go to the movie theater - more mature audiences and family audiences - both came out this weekend,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Comscore. “Licorice Pizza” expands wider in the coming weeks. Over the weekend, MGM also released Paul Thomas Anderson's “Licorice Pizza,” a coming-of-age romance starring Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman, on four screens in 70mm for a per-screen average of $83,852 - easily the best of the pandemic. MGM has bet bigger on the theatrical recovery than most studios its James Bond film “No Time to Die," with $755 million globally, will rank as the No. Overall business this weekend came in at about $142 million, according to data firm Comscore - a bit more than half of typical business but also almost seven times better than Thanksgiving 2020, when many theaters were still shuttered. Thanksgiving weekend often accounts for around $250 million in ticket sales domestically. You just don't know how the market's going to react." If you asked me going into the weekend, I was praying that the predictions were right because you just don't know today. "We were really pleased with the results. "Originality still counts in the public's mind," said Erik Loomis, distribution chief for MGM. About 34% were 45 years and older - a higher turnout among older moviegoers than most releases have seen. According to MGM, 59% of the audience was female and 45% were between the ages of 18-35. But its star, Lady Gaga, who plays Patrizia Reggiani, especially drove the turnout. The $75 million-budgeted “House of Gucci," about the family behind the Italian fashion brand, features a large cast including Adam Driver, Jared Leto and Al Pacino.
Scott's own “The Last Duel,” for Disney's 20th Century Studios, launched with a paltry $4.8 million in October. That, too, was among the best performances for an adult drama.
MGM's “House of Gucci,” from director Ridley Scott, debuted with $14.2 million over the three-day weekend and $21.8 million across five days. The film, about a magical Colombia family and featuring original songs from Lin-Manuel Miranda, took in $70 million globally. Disney earlier this year released films like Pixar's “Luca” straight to Disney+, but put out “Encanto,” reportedly made for $120 million, exclusively in theaters. Family films have been especially slow to bounce back, though with kids increasingly getting vaccinated, hopes have been rising that releases such as “Encanto” can lead a rebound.
