Mickey's Law is back at it again.

Is The Kitchen really not having any previews? Because one theater near me has Thursday previews at 7. Although to be fair, it is only just the one theater. Everything else start their tickets on Friday, at least right now.

Is Letterboxd canceled????

It Chapter Two Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-38 Days and Counting Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 26 22 5,113 0.43% Have no comps. It seems low, but I'm pretty sure these showtimes just got reinstated, and at this point most people are probably either sleeping or just plain not thinking about tickets at this point. Of course, we're also the only people who know that tickets are on sale in a handful of locations, so...yeah, this is just kind of nothing special. If people are interested, one location has sold 20 of those 22 tickets, and one locations has 18 of the 26 showings so far. Said 18-showings location is a 24-screener, so that does explain why that does have more. But having so many showings more than a month before its reveal does say, at least a little bit, how big some theaters expect the film to be. Also to @Biggestgeekever and his discovery, the two AMC locations available also only have it up to 7, while the independent theater starts at 5. Surprisingly, it's not the first time this has happened. Ocean's 8 4PM Thursday shows were AMC-only, while every other theater waited for 5. Don't ask me why that happened, but there is a precedence for this.

Anyway, before we get to the goods...

At least using that 5.3M, I would have concerns. If it follows Fate of the Furious, that would result in just barely over 50M. And Fate came out in the spring. But of course, I don't have much to go off of. I don't even know how other F&F films acted. And of course, last week, all of my data was pointing towards a preview # in the 4M range for Once Upon, so it's not fair to be so pessimistic. But if this doesn't start gaining solid ground on Once Upon in the next three days...yeah, I'll be concerned.

@Porthos how come the rest of the squad responded with a gif, but you didn't??????

So....I just started prepping up for Hobbs & Shaw, and wouldn't you know it, It Chapter Two tickets are on sale...sort of. Only three theaters have showtimes up, but it's pretty clear we're gonna get a tickets announcement any day now. @Porthos @Inceptionzq @VenomXXR @captainwondyful y'all know what to do.

Admittedly, I think a big part of that does have to do with a lot of other movies currently in theaters sucking up all the buzz and attention. Far From Home and Lion King were both humongous, and even Once Upon was a bit of a breakout with adult men who would be interested in this. By comparison, Guardians of the Galaxy arrived after an abysmal July, and Suicide Squad was targeting a much younger audience compared to Ghostbusters/Star Trek/Bourne a couple weeks before it.

I don't know. I'll check some of the theaters around me later tonight, but I've been sensing zero buzz on this. Maybe it's because I'm not a big fan of the franchise or whatever, but I don't see anyone talking about it, both online and in real life. Fate of the Furious felt like it had way more chatter by comparison. It could end up hitting 70M or something by the end, but honestly an opening in the 50s would not surprise me in the slightest.

I'm not expecting good things domestically for H&S, but I'm pretty sure OS results will put things in the black, right?

Assuming he's playing Cruella's fat henchman, I wonder who the skinny guy will be? The '96 version was Hugh Laurie, so the next guy's got some big shoes to fill.

trash

It's not necessarily post-production, but likely due to STX's money troubles. The last remaining films from Relativity Media and TWC got delayed again and again because those studios were on the verge or had hit bankruptcy. Recent articles have mentioned STX is having a lot of those issues.

Good lord you need to get laid. Ain't no way a woman who has felt the touch of a man (or a lady, I ain't gon' discriminate) would throw this big a hissy fit over people liking a Tarantoenail movie.

Shouldn't have said that.

🤔 Harley and Diana will probably (keyword) make it out okay. Everyone else is f*cked tho

Mickey's Law does not mean all Disneys overperform. It only means for non-Disneys, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. That's why Disney gets a Nutcracker or Dumbo thrown into the mix.

You've done more than enough for us. You deserve a break.

Dion sounds like his wisdom teeth got pulled

To be fair, he's 88 years old compared to the spry age of 63. By this point, it shouldn't be a shock that his voice isn't up to date compared to 25 years ago (of course that doesn't really excuse Disney hiring him at his state, but whatever, part of the legacy, "no one can replace him", all that jazz)
