I think "industry expectations" and Disney's expectations are two different beasts IIRC

Unrelated, but one time BOT was actually cited in a Forbes article. Probably a Top 5 moment in BOT history. https://www.forbes.com/sites/robcain/2017/11/29/disneys-choice-for-mulan-lead-role-leaves-some-chinese-moviegoers-baffled/#620d70ac2f92

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-3 and Counting Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 2 186 13,050 33,730 38.69% Total Showings Added Today: 15 Total Seats Added Today: 1,885 Total Seats Sold Today: 552 Comp 8.425x of It: Chapter Two 3 days before release (88.46M) 6.486x of Joker 3 days before release (86.26M) 7.543x of Frozen II 3 days before release (64.12M) Adjusted Comp 2.241x of Lion King 3 days before release (51.53M) Decided since it's the week of release, I'm going to get rid of the final count comps until Thursday. There's definitely going to be some declines, but we're getting close enough to release that it's not really all that necessary. Anyways, I'll admit that I wasn't super impressed with today's gains, I feel like it could have done a bit better. But tomorrow should see more showtimes, so hopefully there's even greater acceleration in the days to come.

It could be inflated by fans of the musical, but this does seem like an okay start that could see good gains if the next couple days sell well

Hell. Yes.

This looks like the most "dad movie" ever conceived lol

Moderation @Manny G No.

Moderation @Valonqar has been threadbanned for 24 hours, due to his rude and unnecessary comments on Kumail Nanjiani's appearance.

Black Panther's run up until release is still one of my all-time favorites. Obviously TFA and Endgame were great, but it was obvious both were going to be huge. With Black Panther, most people thought 300M would be considered impressive (it still would have been), but after the teaser came out and the marketing kept ramping up, it was getting bigger and bigger. People were going "over Civil War!" or "over 500M", and "Over Infinity War" and when the presales ramped up and ticket sales were through the roof, and every auditorium was packed, it was absolutely mind-boggling for something that didn't have the same hooks or build-up as other 200M openers

@Deep Wang never mind lol you answered my question

Quite surprised Gems and Bombshell are so high, but that’s far from a bad thing

There's definitely no sellouts, but sales, at least for Thursday, are pretty decent. As always, it depends on how it picks up in the next couple days, but I think high teens are very, very likely.

Isn't Black Adam currently slated for the same period (yeah I know, we'll probably have a Matrix/Wick thing on our hands)? Also, I think Sony has Hotel Transylvania 4 for that period too, which are both going for a similar audience. Sony's taking a weirdly long time with releasing Cinemascores these days. Charlie's Angels and Beautiful Day also didn't have it public at the same point in time.

People might be concerned at the decline, but the Saturday before release commonly sees a drop from yesterday, only for the ramp-up to begin, and there was a good increase in the T-X side with both It 2 and Frozen (even though obviously both movies aren't going to hit that high). As always, the last couple days make or break things, and none of my comps are that great as of now, but I think things are good.

While I understand your frustrations with JediJake, and I definitely am not a fan of his alarmist attitude, at least to me, he doesn't seem to be doing anything wrong, or at least is worthy of a threadban. I understand you may not be happy with that answer, so the only offer I have left is for you to put him on your ignore list, including both posts and quotes, so you do not have to see such postings.

Your bit's old now. It's over.
