Earlier this week, James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water became the No. 5 highest-grossing movie ever worldwide, and, as expected, has now surfed to the No. 4 position on the all-time chart. In so doing, it leaves Star Wars: The Force Awakens in its wake with nearly $2.075B globally.
Guillermo Del Toro, After Golden Globes Win, Talks State Of Moviegoing: “It Will Define Itself In The Incoming Decade”
11.01.2023 - 07:09 / deadline.com
It’s been a cold, hard place at the box office for not just adult movies but also artsy titles in the awards conversation. After winning the Golden Globe for Animated Film for his Pinocchio on Tuesday, the two-time Oscar winner was asked backstage by a reporter if he had any concerns about the state of moviegoing.
Del Toro’s horror epic Nightmare Alley, which was nominated for four Oscars, grossed just over $11 million at the domestic box office last year. The filmmaker recently shared how Pinocchio was rejected by every major motion picture studio over the last 10 years before the streamer bet on it.
Del Toro expressed a practical confidence about the future of cinema.
“Everybody wants a definition when we’re In middle of transition and change and a crisis at the same time,” the Mexican Oscar winner said.
“We just survived the transformation of delivery, the arrival of a pandemic and everybody thinks we should define where we’re going in a year or two,” he continued.
“It will define itself in the incoming decade. And the most important thing is to keep the size of the idea big.”
“We’re worried about the size of the screen,” said del Toro, however, despite whether films debuted in theaters or streaming, “this year’s full of ambition and big swings and larges movies” the director added that are “varied and rich.”
Del Toro’s outlook on the future of the big screen: “We need a little bit of history to talk about (it) with a little certainty.”
Here’s the backstage conversation:

Ari Emanuel’s Conundrum: What To Do After UFC Chief Caught On Video Slapping Wife
Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel has often staked out a moral high ground as he built Endeavor, most recently calling on companies doing business with Kanye West to end their relationships with the rapper after an anti-Semitic rant. In 2010, he famously cut ties with WME client Mel Gibson after racist slurs. Now, he faces a conundrum at his company’s crown jewel, UFC, whose longtime CEO Dana White was seen on a rather shocking leaked video smacking his wife on New Year’s Eve.
