Between Alli stanning this and Napoleon stanning Hustlers, the weekend thread on the 13th is going to be a long read.

Sales have been pretty okay for Hustlers around my area, so this doesn't surprise me

Overcomer Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-0 and Counting Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 22 76 3,216 2.36% Total Seats Sold Today: 41 Comp 2.451x of Brian Banks 0 days before release (245K) 0.884x of Racing in Rain 0 days before release (398K) 1.583x of Bernadette 0 days before release (317K) It'll be interesting to see how accurate this turns out to be. Sales are pretty anemic here, but it's probably selling way better in flyover states, so I'll hopefully use these results in the future.

Interesting tidbit is that this is now coming out on the same day as the Fantasy Island movie, also from Blumhouse. Guess it'll be a very Blum weekend

Well, TIL there's a famous magician who was also named David Copperfield.

...what's the Celebration town?

The Secret Project is Disney announcing they are going to completely buy the city of Orlando wholesale.

The 1.5M projection from earlier would be a multiplier similar to Annabelle Comes Home, so this is a very good sign.

It Chapter Two Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-15 and Counting Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 98 714 20,251 3.53% Total Seats Sold Today: 34 Adjusted Comp 0.315x of The Lion King 15 days before release (7.25M) 4.042x of Hobbs & Shaw 15 days before release (23.44M) These may seem like surprising comps, since today was so good, but remember this is adjusted. And wouldn't you know it, the two theaters I don't count for these comps accounted for 18 (53%) of all tickets sold today. But hey, I still think it's doing pretty okay so far.

Selling less than T-2 on T-1 is never a good thing. Looks like between this and Angel, we're in for a long weekend.

FWIW, my mom has been talking about this movie pretty much every time the subject of movies comes up in our household. Haven't seen her this excited for a new movie since Mary Poppins Returns.

The film panel's never been live-streamed before, so it makes good sense. We'll still probably get trailers for the stuff coming to Disney+ at launch released to the public at the very least.

You've just put the idea of Awkwafina as a Bond villian in my head, and I don't know how to respond to that.

There were previews last night, at least in my area (though not every theater that's playing the movie was holding previews), but they haven't been released yet. Hopefully we'll get something soon, probably with Deadline's weekend preview article
