Should also mention in the "Endgame's a lock to hit 3x with that A+" argument is that the next few weekends are going to be tricky, because from May 4-June 7, each weekend is going to have 3 new wide releases. Granted, the 4th doesn't have anything major, but Pikachu, Aladdin, Godzilla, and Pets will probably get at least two screens for OW, and Dark Phoenix will probably get two as well. Then stuff like John Wick and Rocketman will probably get big auditoriums too, and it's going to be a challenge for it to maintain a lot of screens. A 14-screen theater near me has Endgame playing on 10 screens. It can probably keep all of those next week, but on the 10th, with Pikachu probably getting two screens, and Poms, The Hustle, Long Shot, The Intruder and Ugly Dolls also likely getting a screen, Endgame's probalby going to have its screens cut in half. Maybe one or two of the other movies can share with Endgame, but that's still a lot of lost screens lost.

Feige could make it into a "Thank You, Stan" kind of message, which would make all us BOTers cry.

Also Pulse still has not updated yet, and I am NOT okay with that.

I didn't intend for that to be a suggestion. Somebody posted a document onto Reddit a couple months back that detailed when tickets would go on sale for a bunch of movies (mainly Disney), and Aladdin was on there, stating this Monday. It was accurate with all of the movies listed, so it definitely seems legit. In case you were wondering, the document listed Lion King would drop tickets on June 26th. For whatever reason Toy Story 4 was listed as TBA, but looking at prior history, it's probably a day or so after Aladdin's OW.

nvm

I think Pulse crashed again. Akvalley's been stuck at 11:00 CST for hours now. Damn you Feige!!

Also from Deadline, even though nobody cares Godly CM drop, albeit not as strong as Black Panther's....yet. Sucks for Shazam though. Thought for sure it would've gotten some of that Endgame spillover. But hey, the night is still young.

https://www.boxofficepro.com/long-range-tracking-toy-story-4-childs-play/ Toy Story 4: 105-130 range. 113/390 Child's Play: 12-22 range. 17/42.5

BP2 seems like a TLJ or AOU scenario. I don't think there will be a hook or a novelty as strong as the first one had.

On the high end of DL's 140, that's a 2.33 Preview/OD ratio, which is just above The Last Jedi's ratio. Low end is 2.17, which is slightly above TFA or DH2. I'll look at what that means for the rest of the weekend, but at least it's not as frontloaded as I thought it would be previews to OD (I was expecting something similar to TFA or DH2)

It's hard to say if a movie can top Endgame any time soon, because the slate is so barren. 2021 has only just started adding big movies in, albeit almost entirely just animated movies and DC projects, while 2022 is almost entirely "untitled" movies, outside of Mission: Impossible and Aquaman. Admittedly, I do feel like a Force Awakens-style Harry Potter sequel could beat Endgame, but that's something WB is probably saving until the late 20s or 30s.

In a bit of non-Endgame related news...runtimes w/out credits and trailer attachments for next week: Long Shot: 1:56. Wick 3 and Anna are attachments The Intruder: 1:37. Attachments unknown (likely Brightburn and Overcomer) El Chicano: 1:42. Uglydolls has not yet updated

How dare you disrespect royalty

@Charlie Jatinder I see you with that purple account. Congrats!!!!

Using TFA's Thurs-Fri, and IW's Sat and Sun holds 60 125.4 inc. previews 96.8 81.6 303.8M weekend This probably won't hold as strong as IW did, so 300M isn't locked. But it's just on the verge of greatness

Anybody know if we should expect another update any time soon? I'm this close to hitting the hay, but I don't want to miss any good action.

89.

Speaking as an AIW stan, I'm afraid we can no longer be friends.

But what about the 1951 classic AIW?

You're lucky you got to see a movie at all (Don't go to college. It'll ruin your life)

My issue is the clickbait title. It sounded like it was estimated to have made 43M in previews, not "so far collected 43M in previews"

That Darn Clickbait
