CJ Analysis: Cinema Is Back! But With Some Major Changes.

It’s been a very long time since anyone in the cinema business has been in a rush to look at box office figures. The habitual daily check came to a bit of a grinding halt last year and for a long while things were very depressing indeed. Despite some key success stories for local productRead More

Much like a Beach Boys song from the 1960s, North American distribution has been focused far too long on the spoils of summer, jamming tentpole after tentpole into the four-month long summer season. I’m sure there’s a musical analogy for their concentration on November and December as well but I can…
