“Hey – it’s the hottest week of the year. Shall head down the pub and sit in the sun or go and watch that film with Anthony Hopkins giving an Oscar-winning performance as an old boy with dementia?” It’s not hard to work out where that conversation went in households up and down the land. Last weekend, cinema faced an old foe – glorious weather – rather than the more recent one of Covid-19. The decision to give an awards season prestige movie a saturation release in what is normally blockbuster season also proved a gamble that didn’t pay off, as The Father had to settle for lowly sixth place behind the Bob Odenkirk thriller Nobody. With more, erm, traditional British summer weather on the horizon, Lionsgate will be hoping Sir Anthony can still pull in the Nomadland audience over the next few weeks. If distributors have learned anything from the post-lockdown release schedules, it is that audiences appear to crave family fare (Peter Rabbit 2, Cruella) and horror movies (A Quiet Place Part II, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It). Next week, we’ll find out whether musical In the Heights can succeed with the feelgood audience where Dream Horse failed so miserably.
