With films such as Dark Phoenix being pulled from theaters early and Endgame supposedly “underperforming” (but only when compared to James Cameron’s Avatar), it’s no surprise Hollywood bigwigs are getting a bit nervous.
According to Variety, summer ticket sales are tracking 7% behind last year’s blockbuster period.
As for the whole year, it looks like 2019 ticket sales are 10% lower than those of 2018.
Profit is power, apparently, and it’s looking like they aren’t hitting the numbers they need to crawl into bed and sleep soundly at night.
