  • Weekend Box Office Results… 3/19
    Monday, March 22, 2021 | No. 160 On March 23rd, 1998 the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences held its 70th annual Oscar Ceremony at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Broadcast on ABC TV and hosted by Billy Crystal, that year’s Academy Awards Ceremony hit the high water mark as the most-watched in history, having an average of more than 57M viewers in the U.S. Titanic won the night by taking home 11 of the 24 Oscars awarded, including Best Picture, Director, Film Editing, Cinematography and Sound. James Cameron directed the epic romance, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet at the dawn of their careers. At that time, many Oscar viewers watched with anticipation and had a rooting interest in the outcome because Titanic was a film they loved. Since then, much has changed on the Oscars front with Academy members embracing films for Best Picture that are driven more by critical acclaim than by box office success. Audiences for awards shows in general declined sharply as viewers became increasingly less familiar with the nominees – frequently because specialty films hadn't played in Billy Crystal hosted the 70th Oscars, theatres in smaller markets across the country. More recently, the rise of streaming making his 6th turn at the helm Studios like Netflix and Amazon has led to many Oscar nominees with little or no Click to Watch theatrical exposure. Despite the streamers' large audiences, many television viewers aren't subscribers and, therefore, don't have a rooting interest in whether those films win. The global pandemic added to the problem by closing most cinemas last year, prompting studios to defer movie openings to 2021.

  • Newsletter 12
    NEWSLETTER 12 Welcome to the Summer season … The Phoenix Summer season is traditionally our shortest, six films this time around, and includes two “specials” in the form of our joint screening with Union Films as well as our Gap Week Members’ choice film. The former is The Wife, starring Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce and is a film which would probably have won an Oscar and a Bafta for the leading actress if Olivia Colman in The Favourite had not got in the way. The Wife is very much the story of that familiar saying “Behind any great man, there's always a greater woman” and Glenn Close’s performance nails it completely. Please note that The Wife will be screened on Tuesday May 7th at 7 p.m. Speaking of Colman’s film, that was bested by A Private War in the Gap Week film vote, so Rosamund Pike’s performance as the late journalist Marie Colvin will be our special screening on May 15th at our usual time of 8 p.m. Union Films Summer term programme With exams looming for so many students, the UF Summer term programme (as it stands at the time of writing) is destined to help students relax in between those pesky essays and viva voce.
