Box Office: Shia LaBeouf’s ‘The Tax Collector’ Takes In $317,000

Warner Bros. is hoping that “The Batman” is going to usher in a new era of the Caped Crusader with director Matt Reeves and actor Robert Pattinson giving audiences more of a crime thriller take on the DC Comics vigilante, seemingly focusing on Bruce Wayne’s legacy as the “world’s greatest detective.” The trailers have amped up Paul Dano‘s menacing Riddler as a grittier villain than you normally see but it doesn’t sound like the anticipated pic is going to lead to rushed sequels to meet rabid audience demand.

Nick Vivarelli International CorrespondentSaudi Arabia is leading the way as streaming platforms continue to gain traction in top Arab markets, where revenues from the SVOD market in 2021 grew a yearly 29% to $453 million.New research from Media Partners Asia reveals that Saudi accounted for more than half of the revenues. However, the pay-TV sector in Gulf Arab states suffered a 10% drop in revenues to $631 million in 2021, compared with 2020.The pay-TV sector in the region is now expected to further contract to $436 million by 2026, according to the report, which looks at streamers, pay TV and free TV across the six oil-rich Gulf Cooperation Council countries: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.  By contrast, SVOD revenue in the Gulf is projected to grow from its current level of $453 million to reach $667 million by 2026, “driven by improvements in connectivity, elevated levels of pay-TV cord cutting and the launch of new global platforms,” the report said.While Saudi Arabia accounted for more than half of the Gulf’s $453 million SVOD intake, the UAE, despite having a much smaller population, generated $125 million, which is 28% of the region’s 2021 SVOD revenues.Nevertheless, profitability “remains a challenge,” noted Media Partners analyst Aravind Venugopal, since competition will soon be steeped with more streamers set to enter what will soon become a crowded Arab streaming field.

Shia LaBeouf may be heading towards a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe if a new rumor is proven to be true.The 34-year-old actor, who is coming off his role in director David Ayer's controversial film The Tax Collector, is reportedly being considered by Marvel Studios to play Moon Knight from the Marvel comics.The character will be used in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's upcoming X-Men reboot, according to an unconfirmed report from We Got This Covered.

There are several constants that you find in a David Ayer movie. He loves to explore the world of crime, as well as the thin lines of good and evil that exist within the criminal underworld. The same goes for when he’s focusing on cops (or even, I suppose, anti-heroes or super villains in Suicide Squad). We’ve seen Ayer’s best with End of Watch and Fury (plus his script for Training Day), as well as his worst with Suicide Squad (even if that wasn’t completely his fault). His newest outing, The Tax Collector, has several elements of good Ayer, as well as bad Ayer. The end result is a frustrating experience that hints at his talents but manages to let you down.
