Correct. Seems like horror films just don't bring in a ton of pre-sales at my theater, unless it's part of an established franchise (Halloween Kills and Scream were monster sellers here).

I guess this is sorta my FYC list, but it's mainly just a compiled list of notable songs from films I've seen. Nothing truly concrete yet:

The Power of the Dog

Never knew I was craving three-hour neo-noir mystery goodness on a behemoth epic scale this badly until tonight. Quite messy, yet so riveting, thrilling, and immersive, nonetheless. Matt Reeves' grim and gritty Fincher-esque vision doesn't necessarily radically re-vamp the titular character or his respective mythos in a way that takes it to new, undiscovered heights, but this still feels refreshingly ambitious among the modern slate of superhero blockbusters that, at this point, have morphed into an indiscernible, beige blob for this viewer. Not my favorite Batman film by any means, but most certainly an unforgettable one that I cannot wait to re-visit. 4/5

They're definitely not good, but I had fun re-watching them last year, if only for how funny it is to see where James Gunn got his start before he hit it big as a director.

Can agree that Candyman is pretty bad. The first two-thirds are pretty mediocre, but woof, that third act is a complete face-plant.

I voted for all of the Belle songs, but I'm just happy at least one made the category.

Outside of Best Picture, I wasn't really feeling up to ranking any of the other categories given how stressful today's been for me. Still figure I'll share my ballot with y'all tho.

Wow! How do I keep doing this?!?!?!

The Dark Knight Batman Returns Batman 89 Batman Begins Batman 66 Batman: Mask of the Phantasm The Dark Knight Rises Batman and Robin Batman Forever Batman vs. Superman Re-watched all the Burton and Schumacher films a couple weeks ago, then watched Mask of the Phantasm for the first time the other day. Can't really say I hate any of the bottom 3 films. BvS is just a middling 2.5/5, while the Schumacher flicks are extremely enjoyable comedies I love to drunk-watch. They've definitely grown on me the past couple of years.

When I counted yesterday, the ticket total was 218, literally up only 16 tickets from the day before that (😬). So all-and-all, it was a pretty decent sized jump today. Hopefully, it ends up somewhere around that average range.

Death on the Nile is doing an advanced IMAX screening at my Cinemark tonight at 6 pm cst. 2 hours out and it's only sold 2 tickets so far lol.

Bad Boys II - now that's some good cinema right there.

I’d say I came pretty dang close for this as well 👍

After seeing the abysmal ticket totals it had last night at my Cinemark last night, I'm inclined to believe this will be the case.
