- Box office flops might be hurting Hollywood, but they're destroying movie theaters. But there is hope in the form of a ton of movies coming out this year and a stacked lineup in 2025.

How many movies will you be seeing this year compared to previous years?
Deadpool and Wolverine IF I get good reviews for it from pals and of course, the Bridger of Bones himself and other reviewers.
Used to be 10 to 15 a year, nowadays it's down to about half.
I’m going to do a month of the Regal unlimited month pass when I’m living near one for a couple months, but besides that the only movie I’m for sure going to is Twisters
11:36 Romans vs Zombies... why hasn't this happened already?
Here’s hoping Fathom has some great rereleases as I had a fantastic time seeing Gone With The Wind, Smokey and the Bandit, and The Mummy. The last Hollywood current release I saw was Napoleon and yeah…I still want my money back 😂 But as for new releases so far I’ll stay home with my physical media etc. Since Hollywood brought this fresh hell on itself…well, yeah. 😊
Movies not for the box office, but to slap on a streaming service that isn't Netflix 😂
Haha fr
I've become so apathetic to movies and TV. Remember when a great movie or show came out and we sat in eager anticipation for the next chapter? Now I dread when a good movie or show gets a next chapter, as more often than not it isn't good and I feel awful for being excited.
My local theater sadly closed down for good two months ago. It was around since i was i kid in the 90s.
The final 'new' release was Ghostbusters Frozen Empire. So it ended with a whimper. :(
It’s sad to see - I wish it was different!
They gotta stop the bait and switch woke tactic it’s getting sickening. “Come see your favorite movie/sequal with all your beloved characters…only for them to be sidelined or only in 2 scenes while you enjoy this strong lead female role that also has a lesbian love interest”
Woke agenda is fucking garbage.
The ghostbusters bait and switch with Bill Murray was hard to watch
I didn’t realize it till this comment, but that was part of what was a disappointment with Dial of Destiny; having Sallah in the trailer than having him dismissed from any of the adventure parts of the film and replaced with a fanfic character
The studios are charging the theaters outrageous rental prices. They’ve been killing the cinema with their corporate greed.
Tbh a Simple Jack movie would be better than the garbage Hollywood has been releasing lately.
Booty Sweat commercials would be more entertaining
I spend a hundred bucks and bought a projector and screen and do it myself
Still doesn’t add up sorry .
Temu baby
Yes, I spent a 2500 for a movie room. Watched Rankin Bass Hobbit , universal BW invisible man and 1970 catch 22 this week. They can keep their race and gender swapped garbage, homosexual story lines(just because??).identity politics. Etc etc. im done
The only way theaters can survive will be with rerelease of classics
No
@@JERSEYBOYPLAY2HARDit’s certainly not superhero kids crap
AMC theaters in my area are re-releasing the original Lord of the Rings trilogy. I'll be going.
@@dustbin5044 Nice I got tickets for the first two I won’t be able to do all three cause I work the day the third one comes out enjoy the movies
You say Fall Guy spent a lot on marketing. I hadn't even heard of this movie until a youtuber mentioned it the Thursday it came out.
Actually, I watched that movie on cinema. Unfortunately, there's only three people including me watch the movie. So surprised that they release on digital so early
My last cinema visit was 20 years ago.
Nothing missed.
Sailed high seas till 2016.
After that nothing of value.
I mean honestly I could go the rest of my life without watching a new movie, all of the ones I've seen in the last 10 years or so were terrible anyway.
I put a chart in the Discord that shows the net profit for the top 20 movies this year. Kung Fu Panda is presently #1. The interesting thing that I found was that if you consider profit only, the profitable movies have made almost one billion while the non profitable ones have lost over two billion. That's nearly double.
Wow that’s wild I’m gonna check that out to do a future video on!
For me Gladiator was a standalone story which worked for it.
Ugh! Why does EVERY movie need to be a sequel and a tent pole movie? When going to the movie theater was enjoyable, it wasn’t like this, and there were even small and medium budget pictures that had actual substance to them and audiences were entertained by them. That is all long gone, and will NEVER return to movie theaters because that is now the domain of streaming services.
I've gone from seeing 2 to 3 movies a month to 2 a year .... prices and Quality are what's stopped me and my friends going to the cinemas ... Most of us having 75" TV's or bigger and this makes it less likely to shell out money for a movie we could watch with friends at someone's home.
I still love going to the theater. The experience is still special as far as I'm concerned, but it is expensive, so I'm not going to pay to be preached at, offended, disgusted or just plain bored! The theaters are re-releasing a lot of older and better stuff this year, so I still have a reason to go occasionally! It would truly break my heart if all the theaters start closing down! Get your act together, Hollywood!
Movie theater experience with a good movie is still top-notch for movie viewing but with my Soundsystem and 70 inch screen TV and being able to pause and go to the bathroom and eat whatever I want just makes for a better experience at home
We just lost one of the biggest legends in film history (RIP Roger Corman), and I'd like to hope that at least a few people in Hollywood will really stop to reflect on how he made and produced movies. Were they *good* movies? Not necessarily, but they sure are a hell of a lot of fun. I'd certainly rather watch his version of Fantastic 4 than whatever Disney has planned, because they don't make fun movies anymore.
I say Sonic 3 will smash Musfasa to ground but yes your right Hollywood is dying because they alienate fans and they lecture you and movies just Been meh too make remakes and reboots.
Only disney product im interested is deadpool and wolverine.
Yeah sonic 3 should be big!
Sonic 3 is literally the only movie I want to see this year and it doesn't even come out until the very end of this year. But my optimism for Sonic 3 is very cautious.
@@Rishi123456789Well Sonic 3 Is Made For Sonic Fans Because Of It's Gonna Had A Lot Elements From Sonic Adventure 2, Also I Heard Some Rumors That Amy Rose Could Be In The Movie.
When a $20 bill doesn’t even get you a large popcorn and large drink, movie theaters need to close.
I love going to the movies. When I was a kid my parents never took me and my brothers so as soon as I got a car and started making money I started going to the theaters. Now I go at least once a month sometimes twice
they reap what they sow. let hollywood enjoy their own making. movie theater should sue all these woke studios.
I completely forgot about the Kraven movie. 😂
Kraven The Animal Rights Activist.
Don't let the Fact that his Costume is made out of Fur fool you.
Fingers crossed that this year will be even harder for Hollywood than last year was.
Back in 2022, the grifters tried to hype up The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars by leaking their synopses.
The meat of the leak was the plot of Secret Wars. Apparently the TVA rebel against Kang and rally a band of multiversal heroes (the Fox and Sony characters) to stop him. Tobey Maguire, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds were the main stars.
Now, with Majors' dismissal, the threat of Kang was nipped in the bud with Loki controlling all the timelines now. That means these movies will be retooled like Hell.
But I can still see Disney banking on the sheer amount of fanservice that is Robert Downey Jr, Tobey Maguire and Hugh Jackman meeting up with each other. That will get bums in seats.
Bad boys 4 actually debuted very well.
Barbieheimer saved last Summer I think Inside Out 2, Deadpool & Wolverine, Joker: Folie À Deux, Moana 2, Wicked & Sonic The Hedgehog 3 are gonna be the biggest hits for theaters this year!
The “crazy” bit is a significant issue for me: I try to see movies in theaters, but just about every time, someone is talking through the show: I even had someone making a FaceTime call the other week. And since the theaters are so understaffed and the kids left in charge lack the will to stand up to their objectionable customers, forget any chance of anything being done about it. Much as I love the big screen, it’s hard to justify paying the money when you can’t even enjoy the movie in peace.
Another reason why films been struggling lately is because of mass media consolidation and the Telecommunications Act of 1996. And with the rise of the internet it's making legacy media obsolete.
This miracle that they need is making good films instead of poorly written propaganda... wait, they can't do that anymore. Lol
I feel the opposite needs to be done to save movies. I think tickets price should be cut so that going to a movie becomes cheaper (in the moment alternative to streaming) snacks can stay expensive naturally. Not to mention this could encourage people to see multiple movies in a day like the good old days.
They need to allow people to rent out theatres. They started using them for business meetings which is great, but I think Netflix theatres will be a thing in the near future. Places people can gather with others and watch a movie or series together (as long as prices are reasonable). Add in some decent arcade cabinets and you have a million dollar idea.
Adding on to that. Watching things with strangers can be annoying and no one wants to deal with the dregs of society ruining their movie experience. Gatekeeping showings will get people to go out to theatres again.
I was just thinking of something like this a few months ago: get a bunch of friends and movie lovers together and start a private movie club (a real club with meetings and dues to help run things). Rent a screen to watch something good and then go for drinks after and critique the movie.
I priced this up to check out whether I could screen one of my son’s favorite movies for his birthday, and it came in at around $500. It’s just too much unless you can get a lot of people together.
How many potential cinema goers will boycott Disneys movies just because they are made of have connections with _"the house of the rat"_
I moved to my new home. Right near the mall with an AMC Theator.
It died before I could go there.
They need to bring back Chris Evans back as Captain America.
I dunno, I might go see A Knight's Tale in the theater again if it was reasonable.
Not watching mad Max without Max. Furiosa was boring and fury road
Ridley killed the Alien franchise with Prrometheus and Covenant.
No reason to see another Alien film.
If it survived alien 3, resurrection, and both avp films it can survive covenant
Prometheus was tolerable, Covenant completely dropped the ball.
Another boney video I can listen to while on my Sunday walk let’s goooo
That Adam Sandler/Bob Barker clip was epic 🤣😂
What they need is great movies. Well said. Its not rocket science.
they need many miracles, one or two good movies isn't going to save them.
Exactly.
Thank you for the video! It's sad to see movie theaters circling the drain. I remember when people were lamenting the death of the drive in movie theater. I had never been to one myself, but the town I had just moved to had had one for decades. The owners sold the land to real estate developers, and a new housing subdivision was built there.
1. Could the companies who own movie theaters can recoup some of their losses by selling their real estate?
2. Also, I don't understand the link between Hollywood and movie theaters.
a) Are any of the theater chains owned by Hollywood studios?
b) How much does a movie theater earn from a tremendous success like Barbie?
c) Does the individual theater or regional manager of a chain have a choice as to how many screens each theater will devote to a movie? For example, say somebody incompetent in charge of a theater decided they were only going to show Barbie on one screen once a day. That would kind of be that theater's fault for not utilizing more screens, wouldn't it?
i) Are they contractually obligated to show movies that are not attracting customers?
3. Can the theaters sue:
a) Hollywood studios for making such poor movies that the customers won't attend theaters? (It might be difficult to prove this in court lol. Maybe if there were evidence that all the focus groups said this movie is terrible, but the studios refused to make the changes the focus group advised. Jennifer Salke of Amazon Studios admitted to stopping using focus groups because they were not providing the responses she wanted to hear. 🤣)
b) And/or can they sue the studios because streaming is taking away their customers?
4. Can Hollywood re-release movies? I have a feeling if Star Wars OT and LOTR were shown in theaters, people would go and would bring their kids.
All the studios must have tons of massively successful movies from the past that they could re-release for PROFIT. Imagine re-releasing the Disney animated and classic Pixar movies for an entirely new generation of kids? I can only imagine that the theaters would love this.
Thank you for the video! How's Frank? 🙏😁🐻🎥🎞️🎬
I love these longer videos! Well done! Keep em coming!
Thank you!!!
The movie theater near me is charging $35 per movie for a ticket to the extended cut lord of the rings trilogy. Things are not well for them. That being said dune part 2 did so well because I watched it in theaters so many times.
You know what’s funny about the movie theaters being in trouble due to lack of attendance? Ticket prices haven’t dropped. Supply and demand be damned I guess.
I saw a post that of the 54 movies that have made $1 Billion.....Disney was behind 28 of them.......I know the mouse is in a slump....and as such all of Hollywood is, but I think if any company can rebound it's Disney, they just need to stop getting in their own way and actually make projects people want.
I watch older movies, 80s and 90s are a gold mine. Also like building a physical library so it wont dissappear or get censored
The theaters should try and experiment and have certain cities lower the movie prices to making very little, based on the average foot traffic. Advertise that they are lowering prices in that city. See if they can make up money other ways.
I was kind of thinking about this for disney theme parks, look at the average foot traffic from 1 year ago exactly and then lower the prices to making only $1-2 per person. See if that would increase foot traffic thereby possibly making more money.
It’s a good idea - cheaper tickets and better food could get the money flowing
@@TheBonebridger I am not a marketing person so I don't know how to do this, but I was thinking that in this case quantity may work better than getting few at a higher value.
@@mindlessmeat4055 I wish they would try it one month just to see
They do not know how to make a movie anymore.
Movie Theaters like Drive In Theaters will eventually become nostalgia. Last time for me at a theater was 2018. The only reason for me to attend any theater is for a Broadway Play, Ballet, or Concert.
An honest channel. a breath of fresh air. I agree with most of your predictions. I will hit subscribe.
Thank you so much for that!
You were right Mr narrator, Furiosa was a flop...
And Bad Boys will flop...
I will be seeing Deadpool and Wolverine. The rest I will wait for streaming. Why spend 50+ for a movie when I pay way less for streaming?
Maybe Superman Legacy next year. I don't know. Depends on the villain.
Good job with the presentation.
Thank you!!
Yes I prefer watching at home but it’s important to support the movies we like so the studios can keep making them.
Twister is a fail. I watched the preview and immediately remembered everything that happened in the first in 1995. lmao
Good movies..."if you make them, they will come". It seems they are willing to do anything...except change. 😢
Food for thought bonebridger and as always another awesome video 😊
Thank you!
Crazy expensive, have to deal with inconsiderate (often sick) people, crazy overblown big budgets with not much thought out into compelling stories all competing against the ever shrinking cost of (at minimum) decent TV/ sound systems. I don't think theaters are ever going to go away but probably eventually just become a special event type of thing with smaller theaters playing cult hits.
The other thing to consider is that big chunks of the population now have 70 - 100inch screens with kick ass sound systems sitting at home.... Who wants to go out and sit in some dingey flea pit with absurdly overpriced snacks with half the audience rustling chip packets and the other half swiping through their phones..... When you can have all your creature comforts at home...... The writing was on the wall for theatres once COVID hit. Oh and with the fracturing and proliferation of streaming sites everyone is flocking back to Bit Torrent sites..... And all the best writers are now in TV.
The last time I went to a theater, a family with kids that had tablets at behind me. It was horrible. I'm not going back anymore.
The only thing that really interests me is Deadpool. That being said, there are so many stories out there that aren't being told and I wish that studios had the courage to tell them with competent screenwriters whose passion it is to tell a good story instead of what we have now. A group of people who tic boxes to pad their resumes.
Back then the tickets at my theaters were 10 bucks now the price has been double to almost 15 dollars and popcorn is expensive as shit
Like you said it’s just the quality. You have to be selective with going to the theaters. Every time I go it’s packed. Ppl still go. 80% of the movies just aren’t worth it. And not in demand. Who asked for a mad max prequel? Who asked for a twister sequel? Lol cmon. Horrible writing generic tropes and pushing agendas are the main issues too. The extremely high budgets aren’t helping either. The strike really didn’t change anything lol. And on top of tht. 2024 is just a slow yr. Hollywood basically told us the big titles are all coming in 2025.
I used to go once or twice a year, so I'm probably not a big loss to theatres, but the last couple of years I just can't justify the cost vs tha quality. If they all shut down I won't miss a beat.
Here it's like 15 bucks for one ticket. I rather put that on food than a movie that has a big chance to suck. I don't trust movies today.
$15? Wow!
I'd barely been to the cinema since 2019. Nothing that's interested me enough to bother. But this year there have been quite a few I've gone to watch (Godzilla Minus 1, Godzilla X Kong, Ghostbusters 4, Planet of the Apes). Though I have loads of free tickets so haven't actually paid.
Even if your favorite decade in film released in theaters for the first time, audiences would still only show up for event films and watch the rest at home. Habits have changed drastically. The theater needs another Harry Potter or MCU that "guarantees" attendance
Even if they started making great movies again, it won’t change that because of out of control government spending and inflation people still won’t go.
Fast and furious drive to apply for social security!
Make it happen Hollywood!
I wish Hollywood would give us more original stuff.
@@momeloleather4827 I’m all for continuing a franchise if you’ve got a good story to tell but Hollywood mismanaged and destroyed too many franchises that I assume the worst. Also, I just want fresh and new ideas and I think a good avenue for that is adapting material that hasn’t gotten one in movies or tv.
I think Hollywood should return to the roadshow extravaganzas of the 1960s. Make movies an event that you go with friends to enjoy. Tell epic stories with sweeping cinematography that can only truly be enjoyed on the big screen and don’t release the films to screaming for two years.
Joker 2 will be interesting to see if it's successful or not. Many (myself included) can't stand musicals so it's instantly unwatchable for me. Also a lot of people went to see the first film expecting something very different from what they got so may not return for the sequel. Harley Quinn fatigue is a thing too.
There’s no reason to go. I can wait a couple months and see it on steaming. The only justification are movies with big special effects but they have to be good for that. Maybe they need less consultants so they can make cheaper movies that people actually want to see.
Movie theaters would be a lot better if the movies were actually good and no one was allowed to talk or bring in their phone. Leave the damn phone at the door and put a landline or something on the wall for emergencies. This will turn off people not really invested in the movie.
Dont care about cinema anymore. I used to go every week or a few times a month depending on the movies. Its was my thing each week. Now, i dont care, i can wait, its only a few months till its streaming or bluray. Back in the day it could be a year or more before a movie was released on video after the cinema release. Now its a few months......so wait and get it on bluray, and save money, better experience watching it at home. I have no idea what kind of movie would get me in the cinema now.
All they keep making are the same Movies you've already seen.
Good video, I love movie theaters and would be sad to see them be less in numbers in the future. I also agree that theaters need to improve their equipment....no way should home be a better experience than at the theater. We need theaters! One point I will dispute is about streaming. Streaming is still coming out of it's infancy. Prices are going up and they are causing many such as myself who enjoyed having streaming services to say screw it this is not worth the constant price hikes and oh yeah now you want to ad commercials. Ahhh cable I thought I could leave you and now I want to come back. Now netflix has to resort to making a deal with the NFL to broadcast Christmas games. Look for streaming to consolidate. I don't see all of them making it....ie peacock and paramount +. I am still that guy who buys movies on 4K blu ray. People will soon learn they sold their soul for the "convenience" of streaming. "You will own nothing and be happy"
Great comment the rising cost of stream is going to get so much worse!
Not dying just bad movies
Exactly.
Hollywood is like a poor person wearing a Gucci belt.
Huge budget, highly paid overated stars, zero writing, zero storyline.
Saw Ghostbusters,left disappointment. Saw GodzillaXKong,thought it was so so compared to Godzilla Minus one. Holding out hope for Sonic 3.
2025 also has the tsunami known as GTA VI hitting its shores.
Good luck getting anyone to pay attention to anything else for awhile.
Sonic 3!
Tried to include a big thing on it, but paramount hates when anyone tries to hype up there stuff haha
I read an article that said over half of action/adventure movies (basically the blockbuster) in the past 10yrs was a sequel/prequel. Pathetic that "writers" (or the studio, doesn't matter which) cant come up with an original idea/script anymore.
Not looking forward to much for the rest of this year except Joker 2 and Gladiator 2
I miss the violent drama. I went to see LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL and ABIGAIL in the theaters. The next movie I'm going to see is THE DEAD DON'T HURT with Viggio Mortinsen. He directed it as well.
I haven't been to a movie since the 90s. I hate Hollywood and want to see it disappear, same with the music industry..
Avatar 2 sucked .... I will not pay for 3...
That Movie was Part of a Money Laundering Scheme.
I've never met anyone that says they actually like Avatar.
It’s sad for all the jobs that could be lost , and it’s all over the world. En LA también les va mal
I think movie theater experience is kinda change since the pandemic. I don't know cause whenever there's a blockbuster coming out,i feel lack of interest
As much as I avoid the crap from Hollywood, I'm not subscribing to A streaming service.
Excellent, in-depth and entertaining! Good stuff Bonebridger. Say Hi to Frank for me ;-)
Thank you! Will do!
If movies had lower budgets with a better story lines, studios will make more money.
dude! im a first year gen Xer, i lived at the movie houses. all the bad i mean BAD CGI is whats bringing these movies down. also all the rotten sequel and prequels. i saw mad max when it came out, that's all any of us boys could talk about. mad max without max is just another terrible CGI apocalyptic movie. and i didnt even care for fury road. i gave up on wolverine being wolverine. the comics were graphic. the movies turned him into ken from the barbie franchise. at 60 yrs old i just as soon wait until the movies are in my living room. i don't have to put up with screaming kids at the matinee. i haven't paid full price for a movie since that shit ass stinker ghostbusters 2.
Hollywood needs to do away with the wacko politics and make good movies again. You will then may see people going back to the theater to see them.
If they constantly make films that are NOTHING to do with superheroes that would be great! Cinema will pick up.
I haven’t been to the cinema in years. It’s too expensive and the movies are too terrible. Also, zendaya ruined dune 2 with that “I smell a fart” face the entire time
She can't Act.
Theaters don't make movies, all they can do is ensure the audience gets thenbest viewing experience by getting rid of people on their phones. You can't save theaters by supporting mediocre movies because that's like saying to studios: please, sir, can I have some more...
Deadpool and Wolverine will also underperform. I’m not sitting for 2 hours of 🍆 jokes . And a Disney version of Wolverine is cringe at best . Also wolverine is the popular character Deadpool is a side villain, changing their roles won’t work
I never thought of it that way, but you might be right. Seems like Disney buying everything up. It’s just a mistake to the entertainment industry.
@thebonebridger I might've asked this before, but are you taking scripts & ideas from your listeners for your entertainment studio also? If so, I've got a couple worthwhile pitches for you!
One day! But not until we’re setup good and ready to go. But when the day comes I will for sure mention it in videos!
Too cool! 😎👌🏽
The demise of the mid budget movie is partially responsible for the lack of quality, cinema audiences are only paying to see the dazzling effects of big budget films in the cinema.
