  • Everyman says 2024 film roster hit by strikes and blockbuster flops - The most notable 'underperformance' came from Joker: Folie A Deux, the cinema group said.

The article from MSN discusses the challenges faced by Everyman, a UK cinema chain, in 2024 due to Hollywood strikes and a series of blockbuster flops. The strikes by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) have significantly delayed film production, leading to a sparse release schedule. This has resulted in fewer high-profile movies hitting the theaters, impacting cinema attendance. Additionally, several anticipated films like "The Marvels" and "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" have underperformed at the box office, further exacerbating the situation. Everyman has noted a decline in ticket sales, with CEO Alex Scrimgeour expressing concerns about the industry's recovery, highlighting the need for a robust slate of films to lure audiences back to cinemas. The article also touches on the broader implications for the film industry, suggesting that the combination of delayed releases and disappointing box office results could lead to a challenging year for cinema chains worldwide.
