EXHIBITORS ARE ONLY GOING TO HAVE ONE HAPPY BOXOFFICE WEEKEND IN JANUARY & THIS IS IT! PARAMOUNT/SPYGLASS ENTERTAINMENT'S R RATED HORROR REBOOT "SCREAM" IS HEADING FOR $24-26M AT ABOUT 3,660 LOCATIONS, PER EXHIBS. THAT REFLECTS PICTURE'S GOOD TRADE SCREENINGS & SOLID PANDEMIC PERFORMANCES FOR MOST HORROR GENRE PRODUCT. HOLLYWOOD HANDICAPPERS ARE THINKING MORE CONSERVATIVELY -- LIKE JUST $20M+ FOR NOW. ...

"SCREAM" IS OKAY 78% WITH CRITICS ON ROTTEN TOMATOES, BUT THAT WON'T HELP IT MUCH AT BOXOFFICE. INSIDERS DON'T EXPECT IT TO FOLLOW IN BIG FOOTSTEPS OF HORROR SEQUEL "HALLOWEEN KILLS," WHICH OPENED 10/15/21 TO $49.4M & DID $92M/DOM.3. MORE LIKELY PATH COULD ECHO HORROR REBOOT "CANDYMAN," WHICH OPENED 8/27/21 TO $22M & DID $61.2M/DOM. ...

COMPARING FIRST CHOICE TRACKING FOR "SCREAM" VS. "CANDYMAN" SHOWS "SCREAM" SWEETER WITH -25F DEMO THAN "CANDYMAN" WAS. NUMBERS CHANGE DAILY, BUT "SCREAM" SNAPSHOT SHOWS IT FIVE POINTS STRONGER WITH -25F, HORROR'S CORE CROWD. COMPARISONS WITH "HALLOWEEN KILLS" AREN'T AS GOOD FOR "SCREAM" -- SNAPSHOT PUTS IT SIX POINTS LESS WITH -25F. ...

SAG NOMINATIONS ALWAYS MATTER TO OSCAR HOPEFULS, BUT THIS YEAR DIRECTION ACTORS ARE POINTING IS MORE SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE GOLDEN GLOBES ARE DOWNGRADED TO INSIGNIFICANT. ONCE UPON A TIME, HFPA WINS IN EARLY JANUARY HAD HEFTY INFLUENCE ON WHICH CONTENDERS ACADEMY MEMBERS MADE TIME TO SEE. WORSE YET, CRITICS CHOICE AWARDS, WHICH WOULD HAVE FILLED GG GAP & MADE HEADLINES 1/9, ARE NOW IN OMICRON LIMBO UNTIL 3/13-- UNFORTUNATELY, SAME DAY AS BAFTA AWARDS IN LONDON. CCA'S IMPACT WILL BE LESSENED BY LONG DELAY & NOW HAVING TO SHARE HEADLINES WITH BAFTA. PLUS, SOME NOMINEES WILL OPT TO BE IN LONDON AT BAFTAS IF PANDEMIC TRAVEL IS POSSIBLE THEN. CCA MIGHT HAVE MADE BIGGER SPLASH BY ANNOUNCING AWARDS ONLINE 1/9 AND DOING EVENT PARTY TELECAST WITH WINNERS LATER. ...

MEANWHILE, 28TH ANNUAL SAG AWARDS ELEVATED FIVE FILMS TO BEST PICTURE CONTENDERS WITH NOMS IN SAG'S BEST CAST PERFORMANCE CATEGORY -- INCLUDING: "BELFAST" (FOCUS), "CODA" (APPLE TV+), "DON'T LOOK UP" (NETFLIX), "HOUSE OF GUCCI" (MGM/UAR/BRON) & "KING RICHARD" (WB/OVERBROOK). BUT THERE AREN'T ANY GUARANTEES OF OSCAR GOLD FOR SAG WINNERS AS WE SAW LAST YEAR WHEN "THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO SEVEN" WON SAG'S BEST CAST AWARD, BUT LOST BEST PICTURE AT OSCARS TO "NOMADLAND," WHOSE ONLY SAG NOM WAS FOR FRANCES MC DORMAND AS LEAD FEMALE ACTOR, WHO DIDN'T WIN -- BUT DID TAKE HOME OSCAR!...

AMC ENTERTAINMENT CEO ADAM ARON MAKING HEADLINES FOR SELLING MORE STOCK. ARON JUST DISPOSED OF 312,500 AMC SHARES, PER SEC FILING, FOR $7.1M. LAST DECEMBER ARON CASHED OUT $9.7M AFTER PREVIOUSLY SELLING $25M IN AMC SHARES. CEO SAID SELLING WAS FOR ESTATE PLANNING PURPOSES & HIS SALES "ARE NOW ALL FINISHED." ...
