Trolling is a bannable offense on these forums. These clowns intentionally ruined discussion in the WiT forum. The staff should straight up ban them for causing this to happen.
For the record, the snow storm here in PA was so bad, the governor announced it as a "state of emergency." I don't know if that's the case for other Northeast states, but it's definitely hitting the area hard, and obviously isn't making people come out to the theater. So please don't be concerned about BP's performance yesterday.

The stuff for Wrinkle sounds amazing, but the one thing I will always emphasize is that my theater is heavily skewed towards black-led movies and a good chunk of its customers are African-American, so those high presales can and should be taken with some grains of salt.
Samson lost a few hundred theaters in its second weekend too. I guess because that and Death Wish are from smaller studios some theaters are allowed to bypass their 2-week contract or something.
I'm still mad the Internet decided to unanimously hate the ending. It's one of the sweetest and most emotionally devastating conclusions I've ever seen.
