The Northman Greater Philadelphia Seat Report T-3 and Counting Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 16 324 2900 11.17% Comp 2.400x of Old T-3 (3.6M) 2.160x of Snake Eyes T-3 (3.02M) 10.800x of The Last Duel T-3 (3.78M) 0.247x of Dune T-3 (1.26M) 3.600x of Ambulance T-3 (2.52M) I mean yeah, the 3M previews are pretty awesome, but my pessimistic side is going to Dune, only because Northman's doing hella crazy business in Dolby and I don't want to get people's hopes up. BTW I didn't track The Green Knight, so that's why I don't have that comp.

But this seems fairly solid, considering that this isn't a film that will make much in previews anyways. Addams Family 2 did 31.5x its previews for instance, while Ron's Gone Wrong did 30.4x its previews.

They're not lying. Nobody's lying. Everybody has their own sources and insights and are just relaying what they're told. Especially because cuts change and modify every other day. What Clay is saying is just as legit as this guy over here. And of course, as per usual, test screenings are just that, and while what Clay and others here say is super interesting (you don't have to delete this stuff, don't worry), it's always important to take this with the understanding this stuff isn't set in stone.

I mean he's right. Lost City's opening was nice, but nothing to brag about, especially when it will likely miss 100M, another instance of the sad state of affairs of people refusing to see anything that doesn't have a "2" next to it, or isn't based on something they're nostalgic over. And yes, to some of you saying that there are other hits, I will give you those, though I still feel No Time to Die underperformed domestically (note I said domestically). But like...it's still a big issue to me that only the big, established franchises (I guess outside of Dune) are still the only hits we have. There's still the issues of studio comedies being extinct, awards hopefuls and dramas being ignored by the masses when we always had a few populist hits, said populist awards hits are now considered too inaccessible or even mocked for not being dumb fun, and other non-franchise fare/auteur-driven/star-driven pieces gone forever. Those are fun sprinkles and films I love to root for. And they're barely able to survive, no matter how "well" Dog or Lost City are doing. If you guys don't see the issue here, fine. But I don't really think what I'm saying is invalid.

No offense, but let me ask you, and everybody else here who are acting like people like me are the problem: let's propose a different scenario. Let's say the biggest movie franchise was Transformers, or some other maligned franchise you hate. Let's say that there were 3 or 4 Transformers movies per year, each one was making billions of dollars, and they were the only franchise making billions of dollars, while everything else was tanking left and right. Charlie, and everybody else for that matter, would you be saying the same thing still? This is a legit query, because it feels like the MCU stans are the people who are doing this whole "things are better than ever! You're just getting older" mantra to everybody here. And I think you, and other people here for that matter, would magically be on our side if Marvel wasn't top dog. I think that's a really, really gigantic sign that when only one group of people are happy, that yes indeed, the box office has lost its appeal and luster and that it was better back in the olden days, and that maybe, just maybe, there is a problem with the box office at this point. Just a little food for thought.

Wow that sounds awesome! They really should get around to that then.

Harrison Ford also didn't want to do Star Wars again. If Warner gives Daniel and Emma good paychecks and maybe make sure Rowling gets off the project or even just demoted from her position (and I'm still unconvinced Rowling won't ever get demoted, sorry stans), they'll say yes.

You should uh...go check the Twitter account one more time.

Take your date to Sonic. Ladies (and guys, if you go the other way) love hedgehogs.

3,000 locations, just like Northman. I'm assuming Lionsgate/those theater owners felt your location wouldn't sell well? I dunno!
