Santa helps give her toys and things she wants that her mother can't afford, so Cindy Lou Who wants to capture Santa to say thanks...I guess? But really, she could easily just mail a letter to him, there doesn't need to be any of this "capture" nonsense.

Yeah, Strangers is definitely overperforming at my theater.

Trolling is a bannable offense on these forums. These clowns intentionally ruined discussion in the WiT forum. The staff should straight up ban them for causing this to happen.
For the record, the snow storm here in PA was so bad, the governor announced it as a "state of emergency." I don't know if that's the case for other Northeast states, but it's definitely hitting the area hard, and obviously isn't making people come out to the theater. So please don't be concerned about BP's performance yesterday.

The stuff for Wrinkle sounds amazing, but the one thing I will always emphasize is that my theater is heavily skewed towards black-led movies and a good chunk of its customers are African-American, so those high presales can and should be taken with some grains of salt.
