Jaws is a Box Office Hit Again, 47 Years After It First Hit Theaters (theverge.com) 90

Posted by msmash from the how-about-that dept.
An anonymous reader shares a report: This Saturday was dubbed "National Cinema Day," in which theaters around the US cut their ticket prices to $3 in an effort to keep bringing people back to the movie theater. And it worked! More than 8.1 million people went to the movies on Saturday, Variety found, compared to 1 million the day before and 1.7 million the day after. National Cinema Day brought the biggest crowds to theaters of any day in 2022, which leads to one inevitable conclusion: people will go to movies when movies only cost three bucks. Who knew!

One thing not needed to get the butts back in the seats? New movies. August has been a month-long movie doldrums, the result of so many pandemic shutdowns and general supply chain issues. Tom Cruise always has the answer, though: the top grosser of the day was Top Gun: Maverick, which added about $6 million to its box office haul over the long weekend. (Cruise and co. have been keeping theaters afloat all summer, actually, bringing in $698 million overall since the movie's release in May.) Spider-Man: No Way Home, which came out last Christmas, took second place in the box office. The best-performing new movie this weekend -- Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul. -- came in at #14. But the real dark horse, the shark in the water nobody saw coming, was a little flick you might have heard of called Jaws. Playing in theaters around the country, the movie made about $2.6 million over the three-day weekend.

          Making people aware of motion smoothing is one thing, telling them they MUST switch it off and watch the movie as the film maker intended is BS. Fuck the film makers and their intent. I paid for the movie, I'll watch it however I damn well please. And I happen to enjoy good quality frame interpolation. Why film makers choose to limit themselves to crappy 24fps is beyond me. Spatial resolution increases are always welcomed, why not increases in temporal resolution too?

          • Unless I am mistaken Tom Cruise is not at your house changing your settings but frame interpolation is letting a chip and some software add in digital frames they did not film or intend to be seen.

            Motion blur is a thing they actually take into account when filming and eliminating that could be the same as changing the music, or lines in the script.

        • While a lot of people do indeed have large screen TVs (with varying quality and settings...so many leave on 'torch mode')....

          They're large. But that doesn't mean a quality picture. Just look at all the people online complaining that certain movies and TV shows are "too dark." Because either the contrast is blasted to the moon or the panel can't even generate half of the NTSC color gamut.

          But yeah - for sound, the most people do is buy a cheap sound bar. So they can have speakers as good as their old CRT used to have and no better.

          • I guess it depends on what you mean by a cheap sound bar. The speakers in todays panels are so bad that a cheap sound bar is an upgrade. Better than an older CRT? Hard to say as the CRTs were smaller. Most LCDs now have the speakers near the edges so you can hear clear stereo separation... and can't understand the dialog. A soundbar with a proper left/right/center at least means you can tell what people aer saying without hurting your ears during louder portions. Of cousre I have the AVR disconnected

            • Better than an older CRT? Hard to say as the CRTs were smaller.

              They had plenty of room to hide a full size speaker, though. Stereo separation is nothing compared to representing the lower frequencies. Flat TV speakers are tiny. They are getting better, but still not good enough.

              • My friends who were film majors always told me that if a movie is good you don't need audio to enjoy it. Maybe. I can tolerate the effects sounding quite awful but I can't stand to ride the remote in order to turn up dialog only to turn down the volume in a hurry during loud effects. It's not the mastering of the movie. It's not the size of the speakers in the TV. It's that the L/R are too far apart for audio to be intelligible. Doe the people who make these things not even try to use them?

                • The L/R aren't related to dialogue. That's in the center channel. Not sure what you're saying about the gap. If your speakers aren't size matched, you may have to adjust the relative volume gain between the speakers once rather than worry about the master volume all the time. And turn down the sub. They always seem to get cranked too high and it muddles the rest of the sounds.

                  • TVs don't have a center channel. They only have L/R. Hence why even a cheap soundbar will be better than the built-in speakers. For a stereo setup the audio processor (hopefully) mixes the center channel into the left/right. But that makes it fairly unintelligible unless you have a very good two-channel setup which the internal speakers do not qualify

                    • You were talking about left and right being too far apart so it was really confusing that you're talking about the TV where they're only a few feet apart When a sound is coming through equally from left and right it sounds like it's coming from the center of the screen. It's not positioning that's the issue, it's having the dedicated speaker with no interfering vibration to muddy the sound. The only thing wide separation causes is a small sweet spot where the sound is coming from the right place. With a

                    • If the dialog comes equally from left and right, it will sound "on the screen." With a good L/R setup you can even use a "phantom center" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... [wikipedia.org] ) For this to work, however, the speakers have to have the proper dispersion pattern. Otherwise you get destructive interference between the two and what actually reaches your ear is only sound that has reflected off of the walls and gotten muddy. Look at any public address system. There are only two speakers. If its setup well,

                    • It's not the size of the TV that's the problem. If you point the speakers straight ahead or inward, they will both be in phase with each other and you won't get any destructive interference. You'll get your phantom center to a strong enough degree as long as they're pointed relatively straight forward. With my 5.1 set, the left and right are across the room from each other. As long as I'm sitting fairly close to the middle, I don't have any big trouble understanding dialogue, but it's not as precise as

                      When the speakers are close together and thus further from the side walls, regardless of the dispersion pattern, you get more direct sound and less reflected sound. This sacrifices stereo separation but makes speech easier to understand.

                • I'm not going back to the 60s. But even an 80s console TV had a separate space for the speakers. They'd be on the order of at least 2-3 inches wide. Speakers in a flat screen are what - an inch?

                  I'm relatively young. My first full size CRT had a flat glass front and HDMI inputs. The speakers in it were far better than my first LCD and it wasn't even as thin as the current ones. Though I did buy my first home theater speakers while I still had the CRT.

            • I bought a 60" TV last year and I still can't get over how bad the built in speakers are. Luckily I have a nice (ish) set I can plug in but the built in ones were amazingly poor.
              • Exactly. Which is why a cheap soundbar is an upgrade although, as the OP pointed out, maybe not as good as the built-in speakers in old CRTs. But old CRTs were much smaller and the speakers were closer together. For low-quality speakers, having the two close together and pointed directly at the listener means that you could at least understand dialog. Even low-end MTM center-channel speakers are tolerable.

        • I would posit that the latest generations likely do not have much invested in the audio portion of the equation.

          I agree with you but I wonder how many people would actually notice a difference if they spent money, or notice enough of a difference from the theater to actually go out and spend money on better sound.

          Now that you mention in though, that is the area where I agree it's probably more likely to see an uptick from home sales of the new Top Gun, if you are going to see anything.

          • Spending money on sound is a black hole of money. It's very difficult for anyone but enthusiasts to get better sound that beats a cheap sound bar, but costs a lot more, takes up more room, wires going all over...then the fucking amp dies and it's back to the drawing board. Not to mention that modern "open" home construction doesn't really lend itself to good audio.

    I don't go to the movies now for two reasons: 1) The total cost is way overpriced. Fuck theatres when it costs 30+ dollars per person for ticket, popcorn, and a drink. And 2) Movies now suck shit. I am watching movies from the 70s and earlier that I never watched before, and loving them. They have actual stories based around characters and ... stories. They aren't just thin plot lines trying to stitch together big CGI sequences with shit stories tailored to what the effects people can create. Those older movies have little to no special effects other than what real stunt men/women could do, and the car chases are with real cars driving on real roads, and they don't jump 200 feet from building to building (that is, when special effects are even used... many movies are just good stories).

    Here's the thing, if they actually started making movies that are worth watching without all the unneeded billion dollar budgets and 10s of millions in actors fees (for actors that could be replaced by near any other actor for a special effects movie), the price to create a movie would be super cheap compared to what is being spent for most of these shit movies. And then they could charge less in the theatres and people would come out to watch more movies. Win win. People can go to an affordable night out, and Hollywood film studios don't disappear, being replaced by streaming services. Because what I'm talking about, the streaming services are doing. There are more interesting movies, with said character development and non or minimal special effects on the streaming services, and there are in theatres. (Yes I know there are special effects shows... don't be a laser focused dick... I'm saying streaming services have more non-effects driven offerings these days than it seems theatres do.) The film execs are so fucking dense and stupid they only see bigger bangs and booms. They have no actual creativity or stomach for taking risks on movies they don't understand. In days past, the best studio execs had a much better instinct on what to green light. Now it is just bigger, boomier, and even better if it is a sequel. FFS.

    Another option for theatres is to charge in relation to the budget of the movie. If a movie cost 500 million to make, charge 20 bucks a ticket. If it cost 10 million to make, charge 5 bucks to go in. I bet there will be more sure profit from the less expensive movies (as long as they don't make it an excuse to Netflix them: that is, just throw any shit at the wall and see if it sticks, and most of Netflix's stuff is shit... that's why now that they aren't the only game in town their numbers are shrinking).

    • The problem is, if we make a movie that actually relies on the story, the characters, pacing, narrative and all the other things you want, you'll watch it at home on your TV because the experience is the same as in the theater with the awesome sound system and the huge, huge screen that is so great at showing those awesome explosions.

Instead of hackers in a basement saving the world, there would have been white collars in a cubicle farm, typing aimlessly on a keyboard while waiting for the next coffee break...? With Dilbert as a main character maybe? But would it have been a box office hit? Maybe a cubicle hit, at best?
