I've been telling you guys that Disney doesn't care about theaters anymore. Marvel and Avatar, thanks to Papa Feige and Papa Cameron, being the only theatrical plays from Disney isn't that crazy of a concept in the next few years. And who knows if those guys have enough power to keep their movies on the big screen after a while?

Nah. Tax the superhero fans

I know that Alien isn't the biggest thing in the world right now, but it is a bummer they aren't giving this a theatrical release. Predator I understand being Hulu-only, but Alien still has enough brand recognition behind it to get some dough, especially if this new movie is on the cheaper side. Are the only 20th Century theatrical releases just going to be Avatar/Apes/Free Guy? That's just dumb.

I mean I know Covenant didn't do so hot, but they really aren't giving this a theatrical release? Okay then!

Just a reminder you can put people on Ignore if you're not a fan of their posts

This is more important at the moment. Fuck Greg Abbott

...I didn't even notice the Girls Night Out one. This is just stupid.

Welcome to the future

Paramount sucks lol

I was kind of contemplating Scream for a while, since that's an older-skewing and female-skewing feature, and horror movies are backloaded like Lost City likely will be, but it being both horror and from an established franchise does muddy things a lot. And at T-21, Lost City's at about 0.225x of Scream, roughly 789K. Which like...sure, maybe that could happen, but I kind of doubt that, at least for right now.

Some people just want to start beefs because they think they can. I could say "My favorite dessert is ice cream" and people will be like "lol you only like ice cream? Brownies aren't good enough, huh?" and it's like...no? Chill.

The Lost City Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-21 and Counting Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 52 52 11163 0.47% So yeah, I know Lost City sales were up prior, but I was too distracted from Batman to really take advantage of it. But there's nothing else to track until Morbius in a couple days, and it'll be a while before we get into the Morbius/Sonic/Beasts triple bout, so might as well play around with this. Plus awareness on The Quorum has been really good for this over the past couple months, which really perked my interest. Anyhoo, I don't really have any good comps this far out, but I do have Uncharted to look forward to tomorrow. Sadly, I'll have to wait a good, long while for Jungle Cruise and Free Guy, the most appropriate comparisons to use. Seems okay though.

Moderation GUYS We have other threads. We don't need to pollute the Tracking Thread over an opening weekend that doesn't even exist yet.

I AM VENGEANCE

Fixed! We ain't letting falsehoods slide. HINT HINT STAFF

Moderation I understand your concerns, but can we please wait until after we get some raw numbers for Batman before we go all doom and gloom? There's no need to do this whole Monday Morning Quarterback schtick when it isn't even midnight on the East Coast.

Look my job with these posts is to hype people up. Don't judge me

The entire Super Bowl was full of "remember that" for the early 2000s. The half-time show, the Austin Powers parody, that Sopranos car ad, the crypto ads were basically like all those dot-com ads. It feels weird to be pandered to like this. Maybe that's what 90s kids felt back in the day.
