Do you work (or want to work) in Edmonton's film industry? Check out Edmonton Production Rentals newsletter! They have started a Crew List (everything from no-experience to Producer) and are hosting another Crew Meet (always awesome).

Since friends share everything, we thought it made sense that we’d start giving you periodic updates on what is happening at Edmonton Production Rentals (EPR), and in the local scene.

"While traditional studios evolved without the ability to hide box-office revenues and audience numbers, streamers can decide how, and whether, to reveal a movie or show's poor performance, says Aaron Michael, a St. John's film expert who researches and documents box office flops,

When studios can say that a movie succeeded on a streaming platform without an independent way to verify the claim, it makes it impossible to identify the true failures.

"'Big flop' as a term, or 'bomb,' doesn't mean anything," Michael said. "They keep those numbers to themselves, and there's no clear metric like a ticket sale.

"If a studio has a choice, they're not going to set up a second paradigm where they have to constantly announce that these plans backfire or these embarrassing flops."

The Flash, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and Shazam! Fury of the Gods were all big-budget offerings at the cinema this year. The fact that they failed could be a sign that audiences are fed up with remakes and superhero movies, but that doesn't mean studios will stop making them.

Pretty wild to see all the costs in running a movie theatre noiwadays.

People go to theaters for presentation they can’t get at home, but that’s no guarantee of the best picture and sound.
