Horror show: North American box office records lowest monthly total since 1997

Man πŸ€”... it's crazy how fast the movie industry can turn around like that! I remember back in my day πŸ’₯, we used to go to the cinema every weekend without thinking twice about the cost of tickets or how much of a hit the movie was going to be. And now it feels like you need a blockbuster to even break even 🎬... what happened to the good old days when you could just walk into a theater and have a blast? The horror genre, in particular, always thrived during Halloween πŸŽƒ... but I guess that's not happening anymore πŸ˜”. I mean, $8 million for Black Phone 2 is like, what even is that? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Still, you've got to give it up for Taylor Swift's concert film, that was a wild ride 🎸! Maybe the industry just needs some time to figure itself out again... but man, I miss the good old days of going to the movies without checking the box office numbers first πŸΏπŸ’”.
 
Ugh 😩 October is literally a nightmare for moviegoers rn! I'm so over blockbuster films that don't deliver - Tron: Ares was supposed to be EPIC, but it's like they just phoned it in πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. And don't even get me started on the lack of horror movies... Black Phone 2? Just $8 million over Halloween weekend? That's a bummer, fam! πŸ’€

And can we talk about how awards-season fare is just SO last season? I mean, who thought it was a good idea to release a Dwayne Johnson wrestling drama in October? πŸ€” It's like they're trying to confuse us. And Julia Roberts' #MeToo drama? Not impressed. πŸ™…β€β™€οΈ

But hey, at least Taylor Swift's concert film did something right! That thing brought the house down, and I'm all about it πŸ’ƒπŸ½! Maybe we just need some more movies like that to spice up the box office game πŸ€”. Until then, I'm gonna keep on waiting for something amazing... πŸŽ₯
 
Man, it's like the movie industry is totally tanking right now 🀯😱! I mean, a total of $425 million for October? That's crazy low, even considering last year was basically non-existent due to COVID πŸ™. The lack of big hits is def a major issue - Tron: Ares just didn't seem to connect with people πŸ€”. And don't even get me started on the horror movies... Black Phone 2 was literally one of the only ones out, and it still managed to tank πŸŽƒπŸ˜‘. I guess the World Series did its part to suck people away from theaters though ⚾️. But hey, Taylor Swift's concert film did bring in some decent cash πŸ’ΈπŸŽ΅, so that's a small silver lining I guess #BoxOfficeBlues #HorrorMovieFail #TaylorSwiftToTheRescue
 
ugh, what a disaster πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ box office is all about risk & reward and it looks like ppl are just too scared to take a chance on new movies πŸŽ₯ the lack of scary flicks during Halloween was a major letdown for me - who doesn't love a good horror movie? πŸ•·οΈ
 
um so like the movie industry is really struggling right now πŸ€”... i mean what happened to all the cool blockbusters we used to see every year? πŸŽ₯ it's just mid-tier movies and stuff now πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ anyway, did you know that Taylor Swift's concert film made like $34 million in 3 weekends tho πŸ’Έ that's pretty crazy! but yeah, overall it seems like not many people are going to the movies anymore 😐 do you think they're all watching Netflix instead? πŸ“Ί
 
ugh dont know whats goin on w/ movies lately... think they lost their magic or somethin πŸ€” box office numbers are so low, like its only $425 million for october? that sounds super weak considering how much money was made back in 97 πŸ€‘ i mean tron: ares grossed $67 million but it had a huge budget of $133 million πŸ€‘ thats just not good enuf... wonder if we need more horror movies or somethin... what do u guys think? should they be makin more thrilling stuff? 😏
