😉 Informal Everyday English
Informal English is commonly used in situations that are more relaxed and involve people we know well – you can hear it used nearly anywhere!
#vocabulary
🫣 kinda — used in writing to represent an informal way of saying "kind of".
E.g.: That sounds kinda fun. I’ll have to check my schedule first.
😩 lame — is used as a way to describe someone or something that is boring or uncool.
E.g.: I can’t believe he didn’t come to the party. He’s so lame.
😳 yikes — is an informal expression of surprise, fear, or alarm.
E.g.: Her looks often involve a lot of real props, including live snails, grass, flowers, wasps (yikes!), and fake blood.
😤 bummer — a rude word for something that is very annoying or not convenient.
E.g.: The game got rained out today so we won’t be able to go. What a bummer.

🎬 Movies: Box Office
Today let's get better at talking about profitable and not-so-profitable movies:

E.g.: Cameron's Avatar had a huge box office, earning almost $3 billion worldwide.
💣 box-office flop/bomb/failure/disaster — a movie that is considered unsuccessful in terms of revenue.
E.g.: "The Lone Ranger" with Johnny Depp is one of the biggest box-office bombs in history, losing Disney $160–190 million.
🤑 box-office hit/smash — a movie that is very popular and financially successful.
E.g.: Despite mixed critic reviews, the movie became a box-office hit.

🎬 Movies: Yearly Release Cycle
For big Hollywood studios, not every month is created equal. Over time, fascinating movie release patterns have developed, and today we shall have a look at several of them:
#vocabulary
🗑 Jan — dump month — this is the time of year when studios release movies, expected to turn a low profit.
But why January?
After the holiday season and spending a lot of money on decorations, gifts, shopping etc, people tighten their belts. January also sees the culmination of various professional sports playoffs, such as the NFL ones. These events attract a large audience, drawing attention away from movie theaters.
🤑 May-Aug — summer blockbuster period — the most profitable time to release movies because of summer break. This trend can be traced back to "Jaws", which set a precedent for summer blockbuster releases.
🏆 Nov-Dec — movies released for awards — many studios release their Oscar-worthy films during this period to qualify for awards consideration. This strategy allows these films to be fresh in voters' minds during award season.

🎬 Movies: On Continuity
Successful movies often start entire franchises. As these franchises branch off to multiple storylines and time periods, keeping track of everything quickly becomes daunting. To help you deal with this complexity, let's explore the following words:
#vocabulary
🌌 cinematic universe — a series of movies where the stories and characters are connected and exist in the same fictional world.
E.g.: The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a shared universe centered on a series of Marvel superhero movies.
⬅️ prequel — a movie that tells the story of what happened before the events of another movie.
E.g.: Star Wars prequel trilogy tells the story of the fall of the Republic and of the Jedi Order.
➡️ sequel — a movie that continues the story of a previous movie.
E.g.: Let's imagine that we live in a wonderful world where Disney's Star Wars sequels don't exist.
⤵️ spin-off — a movie that branches off from a successful film or series, focusing on a specific character or storyline.
E.g.: "Better Call Saul" is a spin-off television series of "Breaking Bad", following the character Saul Goodman.
