Somebody's forgetting that 2020 has Coming 2 America

DO NOT QUOTE THIS POST Fandango App Monday How to Train Your Dragon 3 3,724 Fight w/ Family (2.5K expansion) 165 Dragon 3 Comps: 18% of Incredibles 2 (32.6M) 239% of Christopher Robin (58.7M) 224% of Nutcracker (45.7M) 104% of Grinch (70.3M) 100% of Spider-Verse (35.4M) 240% of Bumblebee (51.9M) 146% of Lego Movie 2 (49.8M) This is basically all over the place. I want to say breakout...but I remember thinking presales for Lego 2 were doing good, and that was a huge whiff. This might also skew towards an older audience like Incredibles and Spider-Verse, and those are much lower than the other movies...I'll just be conservative here this time. Family Comps: 16% of The Hate U Give's 2K expansion ($1.2M) 31% of On the Basis of Sex's 2K expansion ($1.9M) There's no beating around the bush here. This is an awful Monday for Fighting with my Family. But maybe things will perk up in the coming days? Upcoming releases Movie/Date Monday Captain Marvel 1,902 Us 35

I...I still haven't seen Fallout

If it isn't true, then what's the point in living?

I'm upset my review on Kingpin wasn't included

The beginning of that movie always cracks me up. Dumbass kid

She hates white men if you ask YouTubers who have a shelf of Funko Pops behind them and complain about Black Panther getting nominated for Best Picture and feminism ruining comic books

I might consider that if there's a strong demand for it

I mentioned this before, but I've been compiling a spreadsheet that records all of the Fandango Pulse activity, beginning with Glass and continuing onwards with all the bigly tentpoles in the near future. Obviously, this is very early, and the only thing I have data for this out is Us, which is...not doing Captain Marvel numbers, but I'd argue the movie is doing pretty damn good in presales. In fact, it's doing much better now than it did a month ago. Outside of the first couple days, Captain Marvel was hitting numbers in the hundreds throughout January. From 800 down to 700 down to 500 down to even 300. But even when the movie was hitting those numbers, it was still pretty strong. It was consistently above Dragon 3 at the same point, and was either above or just slightly behind Lego 2 at the same point. Of course, this stuff is apples and oranges, considering those movies are animated and skew younger than CM, but it shows that it was doing okay business. But after the Super Bowl spot happened, Captain Marvel saw a second wind in pre-sales, with 2,500+ tickets sold on that Sunday. It was the best result since its fourth day of presales. And since then, it's consistently hit at least 1,000 ever since. The only exception was Saturday the 9th with 865 tickets sold. But that's it. And at the same point in time, it was above stuff like Dragon 3 and Alita. Alita didn't crack 1,000 until the Sunday before its premiere. And even then, while it hit 1,381 tickets at that time, Captain Marvel sold 1,469 tickets. Considering Captain Marvel was coming out in a month and Alita was coming out in 4 days, that says a lot. Although Alita would get above Captain Marvel the next day and onwards, pretty much most big movies rake in a lot of their presale tickets in the Monday-Thursday before it opens, so it's not really anything to get nervous about. And again, despite the apples and oranges comparison, yesterday CM sold more tickets than Dragon 3 on the Sunday before showtimes (1,465 Dragon, 1,565 Marvel). And despite what @Porthos had tracked, Sunday's results were the second-biggest for that week, only behind Monday. Now granted, the movie coming out so soon did play a part in this recent spike and these good numbers, but I feel the fact the film has outpaced several big movies, including direct comps like Alita shows that Captain Marvel's presales are doing fine. And of course this isn't to discredit what @Porthos or @Deep Wang and their findings. They're smart people who know what they're doing and are wonderful for developing this kind of information. But it's premature to come in and troll "ZOMG CAPTAIN MARVEL IS DOOMED" and this is coming from someone who is more conservatively predicting an opening O/U Hunger Games (LOL at this being conservative), as Fandango shows presales are pretty solid at the moment. TL;DR Captain Marvel's doing good in presales. It's consistently done better than other movies at the same point in time. It's seen a second wind ever since its Super Bowl spot, and has consistently passed the 1,000 ticket mark. Don't be a weenie

Cue the obnoxious flame wars in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...

It's just a movie brah

As long as Black Panther is above it, I'm Gucci

Definitely respect CRA for putting Michelle Yeoh in more stuff again. Now somebody needs to cast Constance Wu in something.

Maybe it's because I'm not religious, but I just couldn't connect with the movie, outside of one or two cool philosophical moments. Schrader and Hawke kill it tho

BOT has nothing but critic shills. Sad!

Might as well do this one last time: If Alita follows Die Hard 5's legs: 76.2M Jumper: 86.4M Retaliation: 92M Ready Player One: 97.5M There's still a slight chance at this reaching $100M. This has audience reception on par or arguably better than Ready Player One, and while that film had 3 direct competitors, the only direct competitor in the coming weeks for this is Captain Marvel.
