  1. Black Widow Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-11 and Counting (Thu) Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 80 2102 16722 12.57% Total Seats Sold Today: 78 Comp 1.890x of Godzilla vs. Kong T-11 Before Release (18.34M) 2.430x of F9 T-11 Before Release (17.25M)
  2. Yeah, 2.3x legs for F9 sound about right, which translates to about 161M or so. Don't know how late legs for Quiet Place 2 will fare, but I think it can pull out just enough over F9 to make it in the mid 160s.
  3. Near identical hold to Aladdin on its 5th weekend. And that film arguably had help from TS4 double features, so this is even more impressive IMO. It it continues to hold like Aladdin, it comes to 87.9M. 90M is a bit trickier to get through, and will really depend on the first two weeks of July. Late July has a lot more movies dropping, making it harder for the movie to maintain screens.
  4. Honestly I'm just assuming this new movie will just be a modern-day Flintstones, which honestly sounds amazing. If they can get John Goodman or Rick Moranis to cameo, that would be icing on the cake
  5.

Seems pretty pointless at this stage of the game. Things are looking very well here.
  6. Vin Diesel inevitably winning Album of the Year at the Grammys is already terrifying. I don’t think my brain could handle this
  7. Things are still hard to predict, but that's only because things are so logjammed together to the point where it just looks silly and some moves are destined to happen (at least I hope). Mission Impossible and John Wick really need to split up from each other, as do Indiana Jones and Black Adam. I guess just move John Wick to July 15 (I know Black Panther's a week later) and Black Adam to the first weekend of August. The Batman and Doctor Strange are also a little too close to my liking. Put Batman the weekend before President's Day. The Flash and Aquaman 2 are also kind of in bad positions too, but I have no idea where else you can put them. I guess Flash can bully Spider-Verse out of its October release (Spider-Verse to December I guess) while Aquaman just tries to co-exist with Avatar? IMAX/PLFs will be a real pain in the neck though, so I guess move it all the way to next year? I dunno. And I guess Little Mermaid, if it's coming out next year, can just get the Memorial Day slot. Maybe Mission: Impossible could move up the weekend before so both can get IMAX play. Doing all this really does make me not envy the studio execs scheduling all this stuff. Anyways, yeah, predictions (probably too optimistic), with some of the release date changes I proposed: 1. Avatar 2: 800M 2. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever: 600M 3. Jurassic World: Dominion: 420M (weed) 4. Thor: Love and Thunder: 410M 5. The Marvels: 400M 6. The Batman: 390M 7. Aquaman 2: 355M 8. Doctor Strange 2: 350M 9. The Little Mermaid: 330M 10. Lightyear: 290M Indiana Jones 5: 230M Into the Spider-Verse 2: 190M Turning Red: 180M Mission: Impossible 7: 175M Black Adam: 160M John Wick 4: 155M Jordan Peele Movie: 140M Minions: The Rise of Gru: 130M Puss in Boots 2 (really?): 115M Scream 5: 110M DC League of Super Pets: 100M Creed III: 100M Sonic the Hedgehog 2: 90M Uncharted: 85M Halloween Ends: 80M Transformer: Rise of the Beasts: 80M Morbius: 70M Fantastic Beasts 3: 60M Don't know how much of an affect D+ Premier Access will have on this year in terms of what movies get it, but I guess dock all the Disneys like 20% or something in their gross.
  8. The obsession people have over leaks and spoilers (not just on BOT but also online) is genuinely one of the weirdest phenomenon I've ever seen. Especially if you're excited for a movie, wouldn't you want to be surprised so you can be more invested and interested in the story?
  9. I've already got plans to bombard all these doubters with Timothee fancams if this does well and I can't wait. I do disagree with this. You are aware that people can be excited or interested in a movie and also predict it will do poorly at the box office, right? And last time I checked, this is a box office forum.

  11. Well aware of that. However, I want to see stronger numbers because that says to me there is a strong demand and that stronger numbers are around the corner for films that have more hype and more going for them. I've said this before, but I am afraid that Memorial Day could have just been a fluke and that the summer (and maybe even beyond) will see muted openings. And while F9 will open better than Quiet Place 2, I feel that a number in the mid-60s, low-60s at the very least, would signal to me an appetite for moviegoing and suggest more confidence that Black Widow or Suicide Squad or Space Jam or whatever will see really strong results. Maybe the demand for this movie wasn't there and the market will be strong well into the end of the year. But at this point, I think seeing how other openers improve on themselves and their individual strengths say a lot more to me at this point in time. Of course, I'm saying this as one of the more pessimistic members here in regards to the box office. I'm still convinced theaters are going to go through a lot of hassles and that numbers could be depressed from now on, and it'll take a lot to convince me otherwise.
