Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire MTC1 Previews(T-2) - 69155/640680 1297769.61 3491 shows +10487 Friday - 80734/1083696 1441303.64 6044 shows +16099 Flattish day for previews. Not surprised after how things went yesterday and lack of any catalyst. Friday did go up a bit and I feel good about 20m+ True Friday or even more once we get to gauge walkups on thursday. I am still feeling good about my prediction yesterday.

Just finished season 1. Definitely intriguing show. Wont say its fantastic but definitely worth a look. I thought the plot was too convoluted and as a story it was not complete. Just a part 1 of a bigger story. That said episodes were crisp and characters were mostly well written. Wade and the character portrayed by Wong were really good. The scientist were ok. Not that convincing as super smart genius. funniest character Jack does not last too long either. Romantic sub plots were meh as well.

Is he taking another pop culture character and turning into a movie or is Leo in a PTA joint. if its 1st anything is on the table. Otherwise there is a ceiling. PTA's movies are not for everyone.

Why would you expect deadline to be any kind of expert on OS BO. I am not sure studio low balled and gave this number setting low expectations. Based on Maoyan the OW in China will be close to 50m OW. Asia will do great as well as should Latin America. @charlie Jatinder is good at predicting OS OW. ask in OS thread for the movie.

nm. I did not read the entire post. Is there any Easter break(unlikely). If Maoyan is right we are looking at 350m OW.

I wonder what made her hang on to XMen movies that long. Especially after Apocalypse was critical/commercial flop.

Nothing beats Transformers 2 OW. Mojo put a caveat. * Note: Revenge of the Fallen's weekend gross fell $3 million short of Paramount's Sunday estimate, which would have put the five-day opening at $198.2 million. Though shy of $200 million, it would have still ranked second among the all time five-day starts. However, Paramount revised its grosses from Wednesday and Thursday upward, and that's what pushed the total past $200 million. Wednesday went from $60.6 million to $62.0 million, and Thursday went from $28.6 million to $29.1 million. Paramount reported that the differences came from unreported showings from the movie's midnight openings on Wednesday night, which went from the previously reported $16 million at around 3,000 theaters to $16.8 million at close to 3,300 theaters, as well as late reports from institutional IMAX locations and theaters in Puerto Rico and some Caribbean islands (which the studio counts in its domestic numbers), which accounted for $1.1 million of the difference. https://www.boxofficemojo.com/article/ed3464102916/

Normally movies do like 3-4x the wednesday PS on thursday at MTC1. Sometimes movies do even better like say Venom 2 or Minions. This can do 5x as thursday evening should behave like Friday and Friday walkups tend to be way better than thursday. Friday should behave like saturday and so walkups will be even better than that. I want to see the pace today before going overboard on the predictions. Let us see if there is any acceleration as show counts will increase a lot today as well.

Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire MTC1 Previews(T-3) - 58668/597617 1110918.90 3196 shows +10239 Friday - 64635/941190 1167794.51 5097 shows +13660 Terrific day but I expected this looking at Monday PS for past few weeks. It always seem to be huge coming out of a weekend. Let us see if the momentum continues tomorrow or is it just the Monday thing. I am thinking 8m previews is in play after this and true friday in high teens or even 20m is in play with very good walkups considering its a semi holiday and will play well with family crowd. something like 8/20/21/15 - 64m OW is my prediction a this point.

its stupid if hollywood blacklisted her due to academy win !!! Also WTF PTA. you have never had a BO success and you are now going all in just bcos of Leo. I hope this is way off.

is 17.7 remotely possible. Seem way higher than what you had on Sunday morning.

Nah. it will continue to hold well in core markets which can handle multiple movies. Plus many of those markets are not as much Imax driven as domestic. It will gross 700m WW for sure.

@TheFlatLannister just grab the screenshot and paste it at https://snipboard.io/ and it provides a link. easiest way to share.

WTF. Seems crazy strong for sure. Let us see how this goes. I dont think EA shows matter. its not that large a scale release to make a huge difference. Its either than CW is overperforming in Florida or we have too many blocked seats. I think daily pace will tell the tale.

Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire MTC1 Previews(T-4) - 48429/567757 926667.77 2982 shows +4822 Friday - 50975/843140 930224.17 4430 shows +7113 It should hopefully have a good final 4 days. its just the kind of movie that should finish strong.

Added early shows BO as well. FYI its very limited release on 8th. Probably looking at 200kish early BO.

Guys simple request. Dont feed the troll. Its of no use. Just put him in ignore and move on. Definitely not in this thread.

Civil War MTC1 Early Shows(4/8) - 2430/9257 57299.70 29 shows Previews - 6851/332600 139096.05 1649 shows Friday - 4682/548178 89748.26 2652 shows Its definitely not bad. I definitely can buy @Shawn Robbins call here. its start is stronger than Monkey Man or Fall Guy. Hope the trend continues and have a successful movie.

Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire MTC1 Previews(T-5) - 43607/567712 839031.33 2981 shows +3433 Friday - 43862/842039 806261.62 4422 shows +5263 More I think, Friday will be 2.5x the previews. 7m previews could still take OD to 25m and OW in high 50s. Slightly higher numbers will take it to 60s OW.

^^^^ Target is pulling out of it for different reasons. One big thing is current scanning methods are rudimentary. Retail has been without innovation for decades. Amazon did try a store where you just get scanned once for Prime membership and then just taking products out would check them out once you are out of the store. No question of shop lifting or stealing over there. Still despite these examples, tons of jobs have been lost due to self checkout and many other automation. I dont think that trend is going to reverse. As much AI its going to be robotics and many other tech. After all automobiles took out horses and the coachmen. Its part of evolution. Industrial revolution also took out tons of jobs. But new jobs are also created as part of these changes. Some we cannot even think as of today.

Morning was at 77K. It was fairly steady throughout the day.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Friday final - 152441/934397 2274633.61 5241 shows Walkups was very good. FYI Afterlife friday - 165360/844814 2451269.68 4515 shows May be stronger MTC3 should help make up for weaker MTC1.

Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire MTC1 Previews(T-6) - 40173/567596 776921.5 2979 shows +3150 Friday - 38599/842015 712993.41 4418 shows +4110 Acceleration is still anemic. For now bumping down my previews to 7-8m. Still think it will finish strong but not at the level I expected when the presales started.
