How wide is Dispatch even going? Because no theaters in my chain are getting it this weekend in my area. Would guess ~400 but maybe I’m wrong and they’re just thinking “screw it, Canada won’t like it”.

Dune is one ticket ahead of Bond’s pace today at my theater for true Friday. Truly staggering numbers. We knew Bond would be huge. This is just insane. Canada coming in to get Denis his sequel. Never forget your roots I guess.

16M would give 35-36. 17 would give 38

Dune is around 93% of Bond tonight at my theater.

*Watches lonely from BC*

What controversy?

Dune’s last 24h of presales have really slowed down here. But I can 100% chalk it up to limited capacity; all of our early evening shows are sold out, and even the 10PM and lager shows are filling up. Good news is that now that my province is requiring proof of full vaccinations this weekend, that next week we are back to full capacity. Box office is truly back baby!

I’m sure Charlie can attest to this but Dune is overindexing in Canada compared to other films recently. Also, BC is one of the strongest regions in the country for it, and I live in the heart of where Dune is performing the strongest. So my comps won’t really matter, but this movie’s still killing it here.

Dune is going to do our equivalent of 70-80M opening weekend here, if not higher. It’s a freaking monster in my region.

As a Canadian... no

Huge here. HUGE. more to come. Busy day today, it’s 3 AM and I haven’t slept yet

It would have done more at my location (MUCH more) if it wasn’t for our capacity restrictions, and the fact that it “sold out” all the theatres it could.

Halloween was behind NTTD in Canada yesterday lol (and that’s including Thursday rolled into Friday). Says 2 things: - Bond is huge in Canada (#commonwealth) - Halloween is more of an american thing

Bruh, Halloween is doing 45 as a hybrid release.

Stillwater did 280k in previews before opening to 5.2M. If Last Duel follows that, it would be 6.5M, no? WOM also seems to be better than Stillwater so far, and it’s not opening in the summer when preview #s tend to be a bit bigger.

My apologies for not getting out a final number last night. Some of the other managers went to watch The Last Duel, and I decided to tag along. But my computer rebooted while I was out, so it was a hassle to get data from the remaining showtimes. But my area usually overindexes for adult dramas, which is why my numbers would have suggested 600k/7.75M OW for Last Duel. Halloween Kills was a bit lower; I would have given 4.6M previews had I posted my update last night.

After watching this, I can definitely see Comer getting a supporting actress nod. I’d actually be surprised if she didn’t.

Part A: 1. Will Halloween Kills to more than $40M? 1000 NO 2. Will Halloween Kills to more than $47.5M? 2000 NO 3. Will Halloween Kills to more than $32.5M 3000 YES 4. Will every day of Halloween's 3 day weekend gross more than Last Duel's total weekend gross? 4000 YES 5. Will The Last Duel gross more than 7M? 1000 NO 6. Will No Time To Time drop more than 64%? 2000 NO 7. Will Many Saints of Newark stay above Evan Hanson? 3000 YES 8. Will Lamb have a PTA above $1000? 4000 NO 9 Will Shang Chi drop more than 33%? 1000 YES 10. Will Candyman stay in the top 10? 2000 NO 11. Will Bergman Island open above The Grand Duke of Corsica? 3000 YES 12. Will The Addams Family stay in the top 4? 4000 YES 13. Will No Time To Die's Weekend total be closer to the weekend total of Venom or Halloween? 6000 Venom Part B: The top 3 predictions will score points as follows: 1. What will Halloween Kills make for its 3 day OW? - $37,889,500 2. What will Free Guy's's percentage drop be? -50.3% 3. What will Paw Patrol's PTA be for the 3 day weekend? $425 Part C There will be 6 films to place and points are expanded because traditionally people haven't scored well here: 1. Halloween Kills 3. Venom: Let There Be Carnage 5. The Last Duel 7. Free Guy 9. Lamb 12. Candyman

I’ll do an update before my showing of Last Duel, but I’m glad that (for once) my local area seems to be lining up relatively well with what everyone else has... so far! Halloween: 5M and Last Duel: 610k

I got a few days off in a row here just cause I’ve been working a lot of OT since Bond, so I only have local data unfortunately. That being said, local numbers would suggest something around 5.25

I just don’t understand what’s going on in my region. Eternals just isn’t having the same level of sales all of you are seeing. It’s below Dune (in some places, quite significantly) in a lot of British Columbia theaters. Idk, maybe the next few weeks will pick up.

Don’t think it’s going to replicate what Halloween 2018 did, but I can definitely see this being bigger than Scream 4. 30/75

stop

30-35

If this is indeed very good, I’d say it can do something like 35/115. There’s really no competition for it until SpiderMan
