I'm...I'm not really sure? FWIW, Super Troopers and I Feel Pretty had solid Mon-Tues jumps. It's probably more just a case of these movies not really catching on, whether it be due to being too niche or bad reviews (La Llorona)

Movie/Time Monday Tuesday Avengers: Endgame 26,081 27,623 11 days 10 days Detective Pikachu 350 258 25 days 24 days John Wick 3 1,361 734 32 days 31 days Secret Life of Pets 2 11 11 53 days 52 days Endgame Last 7 Days (16-10) 178% of Black Panther (360.1M) 166% of Infinity War (428.3M) 441% of Captain Marvel (677.3M) Day 22-10 216% of Infinity War (558.1M) 644% of Captain Marvel (989M) Cumulative (minus first two days) 117% of Infinity War (303M) 337% of Captain Marvel (517.7M) I decided to get rid of the partial data from the second day of Endgame, and just remove the first two days of both Infinity War and Captain Marvel. And again, strong results. Pikachu First 7 Days 16% of Captain Marvel (24.1M) 564% of Dragon 3 (310.3M) 116% of Dumbo (53.2M) 126% of Shazam (67.6M) Day 30-24 35% of Captain Marvel (53.3M) 384% of Dragon 3 (211.1M) Cumulative 271% of Dragon 3 (149.2M) I did get info from stuff like Incredibles and Grinch, but this was after I started compiling this stuff up, and I already had enough stuff to work with. Again, looking at this and BudStarr's data, this is pretty solid stuff. John Wick Day 39-31 24% of Captain Marvel (36.5M) Picking up traction by quite a bit. Maybe I'll add more stuff to this movie in the future. Pets Day 58-52 2% of Captain Marvel (2.6M) I just threw this in for fun. Yeah, let's not take this seriously for now. Also, I'm probably going to focus on just Endgame for the next couple days. Nothing against the other movies, but this takes up a lot of time, and the other films are doing good, but not that good that I need to study them so much.

This did not have a good bump at all, and it suffered because of that. But hey, this isn't really pre-sales driven anyway, so it probably won't do this bad. Penguins Comps: 5% of Ralph 2 (3.9M) 6% of Mary Poppins Returns (2M) And this had a bad bump too. La Llorona Comps: 29% of A Quiet Place (14.5M) 98% of Hereditary (13.3M) 19% of The Nun (10.5M) 47% of The Predator (11.5M) 192% of Overlord (19.6M) 29% of Glass (11.7M) Well, it's not as bad as those other movies, but still pretty bad. Guess most people are just saving their money for next week.

So let me answer a few of these questions: 1. The first big thing is that I don't really know how much presales starting so early will impact Pets 2, because...there aren't any kids movies to work off of for me right now. I only have 2019 movies, and none of the animated/kids movies have had presales out as long as this had (though if somebody was willing to look into some of the akvalley archives around the Internet and find some stuff for PG/kids movies that had a long pre-sales period, specifically major ones like I2, HT3, Grinch, etc. that'd be amazing) The only movies to open up presales this early were Captain Marvel and Us. Now I'm not going to go through the presales day by day between those movies and Pets, but it's fair to say it's a little unfair to compare Pets to Captain Marvel (although I can guess you can argue they're both 4-quad releases), and it would be ludicrous to compare Pets to Us. So I can't really say anything for that. 2. What I can say is that when movies get pre-sales dropped with little to no announcement or fanfare, it's not really the end of the world, and if often picks up once marketing/word comes out. John Wick for instance was only selling in the double digits, but once the Wick/movie theater social media pages started to blare out that tickets were on sale and there was the "buy one, get one of the other movies free" promotion going on, there was a big spike in ticket sales. And when it comes to kids movies, only Disney films and Detective Pikachu had a major "tickets on sale now" promo. Which is understandable. Very few families are willing to pay money for a movie that's so far away. Or at least, Pets' audience of kids/families/Illumination fans aren't as eager to buy tickets right away as, say, Marvel fans. So this selling so little so far out really doesn't mean anything. 3. These promotions are a relatively new thing (at least to my knowledge), so I don't know how much impact this will have on sales, but likely not that much. Most of the people who bought tickets to get a Pokemon card or a free Wick movie were probably going to see Pikachu/Wick no matter what, so...

Thankfully Spies in Disguise will be our one and true savior. All hail Will Smith pigeon!

I'm talking about OW, but okay.

Can't wait for the Hustlers weekend thread to be interspersed with Napoleon and TombRaider whining to each other about J-Lo for 8 pages, while everyone else is trying to talk about It 2's second weekend.

If this turns out to be true though, ya mind maybe sharing your ticket with me?

Fuck Pikachu's lil' bitch-ass. Sonic all the way!

Well...kinda. I ignore the first day since I had nothing to work with, but I do use Endgame's second day (what little there is). In hindsight, maybe it's useless, but I don't think it dramatically impacts things that much.

(69.8M) Day 30-25 38% of Captain Marvel (58.3M) 433% of Dragon 3 (238.4M) Cumulative 288% of Dragon 3 (158.3M) Wick Day 39-32 20% of Captain Marvel (30.2M) -Fantastic for Avengers. It'll likely cross Infinity War's cumulative tomorrow, which is mad impressive for a movie that had fewer days of presales. -Still solid for Pikachu. The Dragon 3 comps are coming down to Earth more and more, but everything points to a solid gross, although 100M does seem a bit up in the air at the moment. Of course, we've still got a long way to go. -That Wick spike is great, even if it's only because of that promotional deal. This doing about 20% of Captain Marvel at the same point in time is a good starting point.

Penguins (All 5-Day): 6% of Ralph 2 (4.7M) 5% of Mary Poppins Returns (1.6M) That Ralph # seems about right. La Llorona: 41% of A Quiet Place (20.7M) 136% of Hereditary (18.4M) 43% of The Nun (23.1M) 69% of The Predator (17M) 300% of Overlord (30.6M) 29% of Glass (11.6M) So yeah, basically O/U 20M. We'll see how the next few days fall. I'll look at Endgame/Pikachu/Wick in a bit.

It's an important and iconic landmark that represents France history and art. Also helps that a good majority of atheists care about people of different creeds.

Thank goodness for that.

@grim22 @aabattery
