Fallout did 61M on a 22.8M OD. Both movies had near identical previews, and H&S already did way better IM-wise with a 23.72M OD. Yeah, F&F is a more frontloaded franchise, but 60M isn't that impossible.

I do like the guy more than most here, but his whole "TS4 could barely miss $1B" he's been doing the last couple days is like...c'mon.

So I did track IT numbers last night, but I was so tired and exhausted, I only couldn't do it until now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It: Chapter Two Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-34 and Counting Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 74 303 16,002 1.89% Total Showings Added Today: 18 Total Seats Added Today: 4,073 Total Seats Sold Today: 59

https://www.boxofficepro.com/long-range-forecast-abominable-and-the-hunt/ Abominable: 15-25 range. 22.5/75 The Hunt: 12-19 range. 14/38 Racing in the Rain: 8/30 (-6%) Blinded by the Light: 6.5/20

That would indicate about 39M (maybe 38M if loss of PLFs and IMAX really impact it) for TLK and about 19.5M for OUTAIH, right? @a2k

That's why we love him.

It: Chapter Two Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-35 and Counting Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 56 244 11,929 2.05% Total Seats Sold Today: 218 It added a bunch of theaters, showings, and total seats, but I'm lazy and don't want to look into it, so....whatever. Anyways, for what is basically the first day, this is...fine. From what I remember in my Pulse tracking days, horror films typically didn't make much of anything until the last few days of release, so this seems like a relatively solid start all things considered. Should also mention a couple theaters don't have showtimes up yet (I guess it's still a bit too early to plan things for some theaters?). Would I wish it would have done better? I guess, but it's still a solid beginning and hopefully there are good things to come.

As always, lol Deadline early #s, but....oh dear.

Jumanji doesn't have the Disney logo. It's B tier

If I had a bullet to my head, I guess I would say previews around 5.5M give or take? But of course, my tracking is still young and faulty, and I would still be hesitant in saying that preview # would lead to anything good, even if it is a spin-off.

I think the only thing would be like a Fox presentation? They think Disney nerds won't care about Ad Astra or The King's Man?

...why?

When it has J*red L*to

I think it was supposed to, but maybe A24 changed plans at the last minute, which is understandable. Eighth Grade had a near identical rollout to Farewell the first couple weeks, went wide on the first weekend of August, and pretty much bombed on that weekend. Why repeat the same mistake twice, especially with a film that's locked to at least double Christopher Robin's opening?
