It’s time for Qube Wire Quarterly

Check out some exciting updates that we have for you!

Whilst we published the first with a positive mindset, looking at not just Qube Wire but the industry, the juxtaposition with our second is extraordinary. I do not think we have ever witnessed a difference in quarterly box office numbers like it. Certainly not a time for celebration with the Omicron variant making an impact, though an opportunity to reflect on how the World needs cinema like never before.

Customers have been delighted with our progress, and for this quarterly’s edition we have looked at our installs in Eastern Europe with Angel Angelescu from Mercenar.

The latter part of the year (2021) also saw the Box Office start to pick up, China reigned supreme with the film, The Battle of Lake Changjin topping the charts with 882 million USD and proved once again that audience are increasingly starting to warm up to local productions in China. For Hollywood, Spiderman – No Way Home came as a saviour to substantially increase the US Domestic Box Office overall and went on to become the number one film in top international markets such as South Korea, Brazil, France and Australia.

Trivia

The Matrix (1999), released on the last day of March won all four categories it was nominated for at the Academy Awards (Best Film Editing, Best Sound, Best Sound Effects Editing, Best Visual Effects).

Sean Connery was director Jonathan Demme’s first choice to play Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs (1991), but he turned down the part which eventually would become Anthony Hopkins’ career-defining role. The movie went on to become a critical and commercial success after its release on Valentine’s Day, 1991.

The Silence of the Lambs

Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009), the comedy starring Kevin James about Jersey’s most formidable mall cop was the first ever movie released in January to gross $100 million in the US domestic box office.
