A First Look at YouTube on TiVo

August 19, 2008 by Jim Connelly

When we talk about “convergence” here at Loper HQ, what we aren’t talking about is getting our internet, cable and phone from the same evil multinational corporation.

Instead, we mean devices that combine several formerly disparate functions into a single, easy-to-use interface. Like, of course, the iPhone, which Tim Gaskill declared this weekend to be the greatest thing ever made.

A couple of days ago, I noted that The Weinstein Company put the opening sequence of Lucky Number Slevin up on YouTube. My guess was that they were hoping that it would go viral and kickstart the film’s box office for this weekend.

It didn’t happen: Number Slevin dropped to #12. And the per-screen was only $1387.89 — down by $1000 from the previous weekend and $2000 from its April 7th opening weekend. By contrast, the #1 film this week – Silent Hill, made over $6900 per screen.
