Like I said, I did a course-correction. It's the same ticket # for GvK and MK from yesterday.

Neil Druckmann didn't die for our sins for you to disrespect him like this.

Part of it is just that horror ticket sales are more backloaded, but it is kind of interesting. Maybe it's horror fans getting tickets just after buying some for Quiet Place? Maybe the publicity for AQP and Cruella is making people more excited to buy tickets here in Philly? Or maybe it's all just coincidental with no real hook. Either way, it's nice to see.

Cruella Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-3 and Counting (Thu+Fri) Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 2 141 505 12676 3.98% Total Shows Added Today: 11 Total Seats Added Today: 471 Total Seats Sold Today: 101 Comp 4.008x of Raya T-3 Before Release (10.43M) Comp (minus Cruella Sellouts) 3.000x of Raya T-3 Before Release (7.81M) So...this is complicated. Raya underperformed hard around me (granted bc theater count was small and a few initial sellouts just...disappeared by the end of tracking), so that makes things really hard to do a fair comparison. This is doubly so, because Cruella seems like an overperformer. Even taking out the sellouts, it's still at about 378 tickets sold, which seems a lot better than what little other tracking this movie has. But of course, the other guys are just looking at Thursday by their own (I'm too tired to figure out and look at Thursday numbers are at this point), and hey, maybe Cruella is skewing more towards families than we might think. Think somebody here said the movie was doing really well on Saturday in the theaters around here. The bottom line is that these comps seem generous towards the movie at this point, but with so little data to grasp, and what little there is seems a touch finnicky, it's a real "who knows?" kind of deal for me at this point. At the very least, it is nice to actually have a comp for once.

A Quiet Place Part II Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-3 and Counting (Thu+Fri) Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 2 197 1694 18091 9.36% Total Shows Added Today: 9 Total Seats Added Today: 436 Total Seats Sold Today: 416 Comp 0.785x of Godzilla vs. Kong Saturday Before Release (7.62M) 1.120x of Mortal Kombat Monday Before Release (10.18M) So just to clarify, the "Monday Before Release" for both comps is just the T-4 comp from yesterday. I'm just course-correcting some stuff since these movies didn't have Thursday previews, and trying to shift everything back by a day is much more cumbersome when you have to account for 4+ days before release. Either way, still seems like a pretty good day that's boding well for a good opening, but anything could happen. Better to be a touch pessimistic even when things are going in a certain optimistic favor.

This is just certain Marvel fans (NOT ALL, keep your shirt on folks) trying to force a narrative this is gonna be some awards darling contender so they can justify liking their children's superhero movies. I had a friend from high school explaining in passionate detail why Guardians of the Galaxy should get a Best Picture nomination and it was like...dude.

Well...I mean my parents have Xfinity cable, so I guess I'm glad I get to watch this for free?

Moderation No Fanboy Wars. The Dune vs. Eternals fight some of y'all want to try...not cute.

Okay scratch that. This is gonna be amazing. So hyped. So ready. Let’s go!

Finally got around to watching it. God Angelina is just...so perfect! 😍

I know I’m supposed to be my beloved’s hypeman, but....there must have been better projects for him to say yes to

No one’s denying it has good buzz. But good buzz does not translate to Cannes premiere. Black Panther didn’t appear at Sundance por ejemplo

Why can't that be me?

GUYS I KNOW WYATT RUSSELL WAS IN OTHER STUFF When I say "breakout star" I mean something where it's the first major role that gives them massive attention. Russell's stuff previously were supporting roles or in little-seen fare, so I feel him being in a big Marvel production, getting an iconic scene in said production, and getting his name heard from the people qualifies here as "breakout star". Like it's obvious K-Stew was a breakout from Twilight, not Catch that Kid.
