Morning MTC1 update
Fat Bear - 99377/818153 1424330.27
Dune - 124406/757475 2253457.86
There is no question Dune will finish comfortably higher but Panda ratios will be way lower. Let us see how things go.
Walkups are estimated based on how similar movies behaved previously and of course interest around the project helps or could prevent a movie from achieving its potential.
Charlie is saying 111m+ opening week and so thursday is around 6.4m. Terrific hold considering it lost shows today compared to yesterday due to 3 openers(though kept most of the important shows).

Its about walkups any way. So where it finished today is not relevant. Assuming around 20% ratio it would need to be around 2.6m for 13m true friday(which will be around what is required for 50m OW). Let us see how things go tomorrow.

Very good walkups. This should be 3.5m if we go with 25% ratio. Will update Friday later.
Its ATP is quite low. I know Charlie said family movies have limited impact due to subs and so have to be adjusted up but this movie has even bigger catalyst in xfinity offer. So I am not sure if 50K at 14.50 ATP is sufficient to hit 3m. This does not even account for any discounted children tickets.

2 weeks to go. Still does not look like its going to outopen afterlife.
Panda 4 previews are at 38840/464899 563138.32 at this time. I think it can get to 750K and 3m finish if it has 25% ratio like what @charlie Jatinder mentioned earlier. I am curious what @rehpyc has by end of day.

This is as of just now. So around half of Dune in gross even if ratios are different.
Definitely let Reeves do the trilogy and I am with you on DCU holding back on Batman until then unless its a team up movie.
But Battinson seems passionate about it. How about him playing DCU version as well. It need not be the same as Reeves verse.
