  1. Crowd report for the last 5 showings at AMC Mission Valley, one of busiest theater in San Diego: 9:15 showing: 1/123 seats 9:30 showing: 1/300 9:45 showing: 3/152 10:15 showing: 4/236 10:45 showing: 0/300 9 sold / 1111 seats available
  2. Saw it last night. The night scenes are fine, actually had lighting to provide the jump scare.
  3. What formats have you seen it on? AMC Dolby and IMAX were glorious but I tried watching it in 75mm and on my showing, there was a constant flickering on the corners in any bright daytime scene to the point where it gave me a migrane half way through.
  4. Single-handedly putting Regal out of business. Based on his complexion, I’m guessing 1-2 movies every weekday and 2-3 every sat/sun. I wonder how much he’s spent on concessions.
  5. Almost all of the premium screens here in the San Diego area were 80+% full last night. My 10pm IMAX showing was sold out. A lot of families dressed in Spider-man costumes as well as teenagers. Looks to be the same numbers for today and tomorrow for IMAX, Dolby and RPX showings.
  6. This was me during Covid. I was the only person in quite a few movies. Off the top of my head, I was alone during the opening day screenings of Tenet, The Suicide Squad, Nobody, The Last Duel, Monster Hunter, Copshop, Mortal Kombat and The Northman. Good times!
  7. I agree. The plane in the air was horrible, but the action and events on the ground were surprisingly enjoyable.
  8. Whats the record for consecutive days over $1 million? Titanic?
  9. Some started going back as early as tomorrow. Majority should be back by the 9th. *forgot today was a fed holiday.
  10. I hadn’t posted in forever until a couple days ago. Glad to see Avatar bringing back a few old heads!
  11. More like timing. Just like it popularized 3D in theaters, Avatar BD was released when 3D tvs suddenly became all the rage and people wanted to see if they could duplicate the experience at home.
  12. Refresh this old man’s memories and remind me again who that one guy was from Mojo who drove everyone crazy with his avatar and pirates fanboy posts?
  13. I sold my 2 funkos from Hall H for $400 so I’m not complaining. literally, Funko gave 6000 people $400 worth of funkos for attending the panel. I walked in about 10 minutes before the start and enjoyed everything.
  14. It's a longshot, but hoping I can walk into Hall H later if there's room. I heard there was plenty of room for Keanu yesterday. Walked 8 miles on both Thursday and Friday, I'm already beat. Did the Dungeons & Dragons Tavern Experience yesterday. Hoping to do House of Dragons today.
  15. I watched it 3 times last week, once each in IMAX, standard and Dolby. Probably will watch it again in Dolby before JP takes all the screens.
  16. Funny because my friend thought he heard Iran, and I jokingly said he heard “Iranium”
  17. This is a movie you definitely need to see on the biggest screen possible. If I had to make a comparison, I’d say Top Gun is Toy Story and Maverick is Toy Story 2. The original had more character building and iconic scenes, but the second is more polished. Pacing is excellent in Maverick with maybe only one scene I’d cut out. It pays just the right amount of tribute to the original while vastly improving the dog fighting/cockpit scenes. The new batch of pilots get the job done but none are in the same league as Iceman or Goose. It was great seeing Val on screen, especially after all he’s been through. 4.6/5
  18. I’ve seen it twice now and confirmed last night that the country is never mentioned. Even the planes are called “5th generation fighters” instead of MiGs.
