People already predicting a doom and gloom box-office scenario for Damien Chazelle’s “Babylon” should probably check out these numbers.
Deadline is reporting that Chazelle’s film is currently tracking to make $18 million on its opening weekend. So, those are pretty good numbers give the current moviegoing circumstances. I’m actually very surprised.
Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street,” a fairly similar 3-hour passion project, opened to $19 million in the pre-COVID days. How Deadline managed to get these numbers I don’t know, but it’s a positive sign for the film.
“Babylon” is getting a wide release on December 23rd.
Still no distributor for "Bucking Fastard," "Alpha Gang," "The Last Photograph," "Closing Night," and "The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd." The issue seems to be quality more than a lack of willingness to buy.
