It's been lagging behind Hobbs & Shaw, the best comp so far, at an alarming rate. Sub-40M could happen if things don't shape up.

YESSS. Saw the movie yesterday, but I haven't watched this yet. But BKR is one of like 7 YouTube movie channels that are actually good, and I'm happy I'm not the only one here who watches her.

@kitik Almost forgot, Fandango announced Doctor Sleep's tickets would go on sale on October 25 a while back.

Don't want to be that guy. But UM ACTUALLY, there are a couple theaters around me that have the October 25th openers up. Black and Blue and Current War start at 7, while Countdown looks to be starting at 8. Also Harriet is having previews at 7, and I didn't know until now it's going straight to wide. Maybe the lukewarm reviews meant Focus wanted to get as much money as possible upfront.

I could make a M*ckey's L*w joke, but I don't want to start anything

Guess this confirms, unless Charlie's Angels fever sweeps the nation, that this is the first year since 2004 only one studio had their movies open to at least 100M. Of course in 2004, only one movie actually opened to 100M, while this year will have...six. Yes, you can quote me if Joker's Saturday is bonkers.

Literally the only reason why Sesame Street is getting funding and is still airing new episodes is from HBO. DVDs used to be their main source of income in the 2000s, but after the home media market started to die down, they had no other steady source of income for the show and had to get money from HBO to get this through. If people are upset over this HBO Max stuff, they should just be grateful we're getting new content in the first place.

No showtimes appear anywhere near my area. Fandango only has its FanAlert message. Maybe it's just your area being special, being in Cali and whatnot. Besides, I'm not gonna bother tracking it until release week. 3-Day range from BOP doesn't come anywhere close to 40M

The 40M+ rule applies. I'm tracking it. Anyways, the movie clearly didn't rock the boat here, but that It2 comp is pretty lol, so don't take it super seriously. The Hobbs & Shaw one is a pretty solid one so far though. Both are action-heavy, male-targeted franchises with IMAX, 7PM previews, and no 3D. Though admittedly, while I have no idea how frontloaded the film will be, I'm confident that that 2.42M would not be very good for this movie. We'll see how the coming weeks do

If it follows Venom with a weaker Sunday hold (like I said, Venom had Columbus Day) 13.3 42.2 (inc. previews) 34.3 22.3 98.8M With better WOM, and WB likely wanting to get that headline, 100M is much more likely than it was last night

What did Olivia do?

Not entirely convinced. Like I said, my comps are very optimisitc with most others saying somewhere around 11.5M or so. If it follows Venom with a non-inflated Sunday (It opened on Columbus weekend, which Joker won't have the luxury of): 11.5 37.4 inc. previews 30.3 (-19%) 19.7 (-35%) 87.4M OW 90M+ can still happen, but unless preview numbers are super high, I don't see 100M. But that's my own personal opinion of course
