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.

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.

Qube Wire has made some great strides forward into making life easier for all in the areas that customers have been specifically asking for content delivery help. With great partnerships in the territory, we have provided a full electronic install delivery program backed up with security-audited hard drive solutions. 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.

It is time for the second HOT TAKES dose, and I am here to present a point of view on independent films in 2022.
