Box Office Report: 23-26 November, 2023
Fascinating to see 2 Apple TV+ funded feature films - Napoleon and Killers of the Flower Moon - that have been given a proper release window before hitting streaming, doing so well at the box office. They'll hardly recoup the cost of making and releasing, but as profile raisers, this must offer an alternative model to other streamers for a cinematic release. Speaking of 'Insert Name' Originals, Australia's own The Royal Hotel is touted as a Binge Original - not originally, after production, but still... which hasn't done so well on opening weekend, pipped at the post by 1-off screenings of a Carl Barron special. Saltburn, though, continues to attract audiences into week 2, with the weekend's smallest drop off, proving that audiences love/hate our Anglo cousins, especially the posh ones.
