BrandWagon FinancialExpress’ Post

In Episode 6 of Million Dollar Listing India, there’s a moment where HEM BATRA informs his clients about a potential downside of the property being on the main road—a factor that could even jeopardize the deal. At first, I wondered why he chose to highlight something so obvious, as clients can see the property’s location themselves. However, this instance showcases a powerful lesson in transparency. By openly addressing the property’s limitations, Mr. Batra demonstrated that when your intentions are genuine and rooted in honesty, success will follow. And even if things don’t go as planned, you can trust that something bigger and better is on the horizon. It’s a reminder to always stay true to your principles, no matter the stakes.

This weekend I saw the new Universal Pictures Wicked Part 1–and wow, it was absolutely amazing! For me, watching #Wicked on the big screen wasn’t just about the songs or the lore–it was about being fully transported and immersed in the magical world of #Oz. But as I walked out of the theater, I couldn’t help but wonder: why isn’t the #moviegoingexperience itself just as #transformative? The outdated seating, popcorn-covered floors, and lack of #engagement feel so disconnected from the promise of #escapism, and #entertainment that #films often deliver. Movies transport us to extraordinary places, but theaters often fail to carry that experience beyond the screen. What if we #reimagined theaters as vehicles for engagement, where you’re not just a spectator but part of the #story. Changes like, fully themed environments that immerse you in the setting, from decor to food/drink options inspired by the film, Interactive elements like behind-the-scenes insights or audience-controlled moments like pre-or post-show activities, such as interactive quizzes or augmented reality experiences tied to the movie’s theme, could make the experience even more #memorable. And why stop at movies? Theaters could host #sports watch parties, where fans experience the #excitement of the game on the #bigscreen with stadium-like energy. Live #gaming tournaments could turn theaters into #esports arenas, bringing gamers together to compete and spectate. Virtual reality events or live broadcasts of #concerts, award shows, or even #space launches could turn theaters into #versatile #destinations for entertainment and engagement. I truly believe it’s time for theaters to #evolve into more than just places to watch movies–they should be spaces for #connection, #creativity, and, most importantly, #immersive environments that fully engage the audience. #WickedTheMovie #CinemaExperience #Innovation #ImmersiveStorytelling #ReimagineTheater AMC Theatres, Cineworld Cinemas Ltd

Discount and (negative) growth rates are discussed in the analysis referenced below. Next week we will show you another case with similar results.

Brand talks people listen❌ Brand does people talk✅ ▶️"Brand talks, people listen" signifies a traditional marketing approach where brands dictate messages to consumers. In contrast, "Brand does, people talk" emphasizes authentic engagement, encouraging brands to act in ways that motivate conversations among consumers. This shift reflects a modern brand marketing mantra that prioritizes genuine actions over mere words. ▶️I learned this insightful concept in today's session with Anand Narasimha and it resonated strongly with me, especially while scrolling LinkedIn, when this advertisement of Sony Pictures Entertainment caught my attention. Sony Pictures Entertainment had done a really good job to promote Venom: The last dance here. Their campaign effectively captures this approach. Big Thank you to 10Xer Club and Harinder Singh Pelia for this incredible session with Anand Narasimha this weekend. The clear, jargon-free insights provided a refreshing perspective on modern brand marketing. #brandmarketing #10Xer

I'm a movie buff. I was flustered that there aren't new Bollywood films coming out for a few weeks (nothing I'd like to watch anyways). I was seeing re-releases doing well, and gave in to watch Kal Ho Na Ho last night in a packed theatre, and boy what an experience. Maybe this is the best possible consumer study. Bollywood hasn't done particularly well to create theatre pull in the past 3 years except the big releases. A re- release of something that was a rage 20 years ago and does well again, could probably help point out the flaws in the current product. Maybe we are finally about to get back 'OG Bollywood'. Audiences are paying for the theatrical experience of watching something they've already seen (at least 10 times in this case). I understand the low hanging fruit of additional revenue from ready content. Very intrigued as to the impact all of the data insights around re-releases could generate for new content. #bollywood #consumerinsights #pvr #pvrinox

MARTIN GROVE'S HOLLYWOOD REPORT FOR 6/9/24: BAD put exhibitors in a good mood with a turbo-charged $56M launch that left theatrical naysayers in the dust.   Hollywood handicappers originally buzzed that the R rated Sony/Jerry Bruckheimer Films' BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE would drive off with $40-50M and then upped it to $45-50M -- and mid-weekend went to $53M! Sony lowballed expectations with a $30M estimate.   Driven by BAD, the weekend marketplace totaled $103.5M, per Comscore, up 54% from the prior weekend and down 38% vs. this time last year. Comscore's year to date tally has 2024 at $2.83B, down 26% from $3.81B in 2023. Last weekend, 2024 was down 24% vs. 2023.   BAD hammers home that people haven't stopped moviegoing. When  there's something playing they want to see, they show up -- despite high ticket costs, oversized concession prices and inflated related costs like transport, babysitters and dinners out.   This bummer summer reflects the retreads, prequels and worn out IP Hollywood tried to get away with. The coming summer weeks should sizzle with Disney/Pixar's INSIDE OUT 2 (6/14), Universal/Illumination Entertainment's DESPICABLE ME 4 (7/3) and Disney/Marvel's DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE (7/26).   Meanwhile, back at the multiplexes: BAD, which reportedly cost $100M to produce, opened to a wildly overperforming $56M at 3,885 theatres ($14,414). Internationally, per Comscore Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian, it debuted to "$48.6M for a global opening of $104.6M."   BAD's tracking for first choice is best with men over 25 (16 points over norm) and next best with under-25 men (15 points over norm). Women over 25 are 11 points over norm and women under 25 are five points over norm. Critics on Rotten Tomatoes are a blah 64%, but audiences are cheering at 97%.   WB/NL's PG-13 horror thriller THE WATCHERS opened #4 to $7M at 3,351 theatres ($2,089). It's the feature directorial debut for Ishana Night Shyamalan, daughter of M. Night Shyamalan, whose thriller TRAP, starring his daughter Saleka Shyamalan, opens 8/9 via WB. WATCHERS' first choice tracking is below norm for all demos. RT critics hate it at 29% and audiences are a scary 52%. WATCHERS did $4.7M internationally for a global cume of $11.7M.   Sony/Alcon Entertainment's PG animated family appeal THE GARFIELD MOVIE was #2 in weekend three with $10M (-29%) at 3,959 theatres ($2,526). It reportedly cost just $60M and has done $68.6M domestic and $192.7M worldwide.   As for next weekend: Disney/Pixar's PG animated "INSIDE OUT 2" is opening at about 4,200 theatres. Some pundits see an $85-95M debut. It's tracking best for first choice with women under 25 (20 points above norm) and next best with over-25 women (eight points over norm).   Roadside Attractions' R rated historical drama "FIREBRAND" is opening in limited release. RT critics are executing it at 52%.   #movies #boxoffice #martingrove #badboys
