The Batman Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-17 and Counting Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 2 179 4543 35317 12.86% Total Seats Sold Today: 183 Comp 0.598x of Black Widow's Final Count (7.9M) 0.956 of Shang-Chi's Final Count (8.41M) 0.867x of Venom 2's Final Count (10.06M) 0.861x of Eternals' Final Count (8.18M) 0.403x of No Way Home T-17 (20.17M) Adjusted Comp 0.337x of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker T-17 (13.5M) Hooray for a new comp. No Way Home is still arguably the best one we got and it does paint a very clear picture, though granted I'm using final counts for almost everything else. The NWH comp should decline for a couple days to account for NWH's big fan rush in its first week, but that's not anything too concerning and understandable for a big movie just starting out their presales run, so keep that in mind before going into doom and gloom.

Oh well!

Dog Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-3 and Counting Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 36 195 5001 3.90% Comp 1.373x of West Side Story T-3 (1.1M) 1.318x of Death on the Nile T-3 (1.45M) 3.047x of Marry Me T-3 (1.6M) It seems decent so far, but the big issue is that this is including today's Valentine's Day previews, which could make it harder for this to gain much momentum in the coming days. At the very least, this will be interesting.

Because I don't think it's impossible. I don't think a shift in voting, a strongarm towards populist films, or other such scenarios isn't out of the question. Unlikely scenario? Sure, but I personally, subjectively don't think it's impossible. Sorry!

Look it's either this movie wins or No Way Home the Snyder Cut. The former will spread the word of a wholesome family classic, the other will cause the universe to explode. It's your choice. I mean the Emmy Awards did bounce back from the 2020 ceremony. The bigger issue here is more that the nominees, and specifically the winners like Queen's Gambit and The Crown, were some of the most popular and discussed shows ever for that year. Like not even on Twitter, but in general out in the wild. And for the Oscars for this year, that's not really the case at all. That's why I've been saying that the Academy will probably just give up and give all the Best Picture nominees next year to Avatar 2 and Lightyear and Doctor Strange 2, etc. just to save the ratings, even if it kills their credibility

I mean...good for them, they're all funny people, but it feels like a weird amalgamation of hosts and none of them will do a thing to boost ratings. Again, it really feels like ABC/AMPAS want to fail here.

Again, this is why it's necessary for us that we all support Clifford the Big Red Dog here as the #OscarsFanFavorite. Get your tweets out ladies and gentlemen!

I'm already on the case. Please go on Twitter and tweet out "#OscarsFanFavorite Clifford the Big Red Dog" to support my campaign and a delightful film that is family fun for all the family. Do it 20 times a day if possible!
