Mortal Kombat Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-13 and Counting (Fri) Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 39 284 2754 10.31% Total Seats Sold Today: 104 Comp 0.281x of Godzilla vs. Kong T-13 Before Release (2.70M) Really strong stuff so far. GvK didn't really get a huge ticket boost until a few days before release, so it should keep going on up from here in the short-term

While I was getting sales for Mortal Kombat, there were already a few sellouts for this on that same Friday. I knew this was a phenomenon for Japan, but as a non-anime watcher, I had no idea how popular this Demon Slayer show was to the West. I guess it is pretty big here?

Still on the low side when it comes to the GvK comp (though like I said, bit of a disadvantage), but it's a decent increase IMO and hopefully there will be some strong momentum in the next couple weeks

@Morieris Your time has come

This is definitely the one film next year I have no idea what to predict for. Could see this in the high 100s or the high 300s and neither would surprise me.

I honestly think the main reason was because of IMAX exclusivity. The film used IMAX cameras, so Par probably wanted to have at least two weeks of play time. And since Black Widow was coming out a week later, that would have made things tricky.

Can't embed this on IG for whatever reason, but...

McKenna and Finn are gonna be ancient once 2022 rolls around lol

Mortal Kombat Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-15 and Counting (Fri) Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 39 98 2754 3.56% Comps 0.109x of Godzilla vs. Kong T-15 Before Release (1.05M) This...is complicated. Having just one comp, especially one that opened so high and had considerable hype upon its release, does put this movie at a disadvantage and makes it harder to determine how the movie is doing. And while two of the Regals I track will be opened on the 23rd, they haven't gotten showtimes up yet. But at first glance, I do think this could have had a bit of a stronger start, though it's still very early days.
