It’s blockbusters like „F9“ and „Black Widow“ that theater owners hope will pack the seats again.
For Matt Singer, editor, and critic for the website screencrush.com, it’s been possible to work remotely — just not the same. „When I watch a movie at home, even if it’s great when it’s over, that’s it, the movie is over… And the movies that we’ve been missing over the last 18 months are the kind of movies that are really enhanced by a crowd, everyone cheering together, laughing together, these huge spectacles,“ Singer told CBS News‘ Dana Jacobson. It’s like „F9“ and „Black Widow“ next week that theater owners hope will pack the seats again. The latest installment of the „Fast & Furious“ franchise had its premiere change three times last year. „F9“ earned $70 million when it finally opened last weekend, the biggest opening since „Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker“ back in 2019. Singer said F9’s opening is a landmark that theaters are looking for.
