“Although we expect to see some movement in preferences as release dates near and studios ramp up marketing efforts, there were clear winners in each category. The battles for box office dominance between Dwayne Johnson, Lupita Nyong’o, The Avengers, and Star Wars will be epic, and the 2019 slate looks great overall,” Matthew Bakal, Chairman and Co-Founder of Atom Tickets, shared [H/T Deadline]. “Despite all the headlines about streaming formats dominating the industry, our survey found that consumers are still very enthusiastic about seeing movies in the theater.”
He added, “An overwhelming 86 percent of survey respondents said they are likely to see movies in theaters in 2019. Interestingly, a large majority of consumers — 76 percent — plan to watch the movies they loved and saw in the theater again at home.”
