they were walk-in driver and they tended to skew older. _ Big big numbers for the OD which is a working day. I've seen showtimes until December 22 which have already been selling some tickets. A theatre I checked had 8 showtimes basically sold out and I guess they have to add more screens.

"In the United Kingdom, Holland’s birthplace, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” is experiencing some of that sky-high interest. Theatre chain Vue says it sold more than 150,000 tickets to “No Way Home” on Monday alone, setting a company record for the highest volume on launch day in history. Sales were double that of pre-orders for Vue’s previous record-holder “Avengers: Endgame” (which opened to $55 million in the U.K.) and four times as much as “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” (which opened to $37 million in the U.K.)." https://variety.com/2021/film/news/spider-man-no-way-home-record-ticket-sales-omicron-1235123000/

so NWH is the equivalent of No Time to Die in UK. *pandemic

the mindblowing fact is no matter how frontloaded it is (see Force Awakens) it has the holidays corridor.

Last Duel B+ Last Night in Soho B+ Knives Out A- Murder on the orient express B (thought it was higher) A for Encanto Moana A Coco A+ Frozen2 A- Frozen A+ Wreck it Ralph A Good Dinosaur A

never, people thought if Venom 2 did 90m then Eternals was a lock for 100m.

there's no precedent of a bad reviewed MCU movie yet and how it impacts sales....let's see.

funny in February on Reddit there was the plot leak and it was worrying. Weird they didn't try to "fix" it.

65-70m it's totally fine. People who are disappointed should keep their expectations in check for Eternals though.

Some good details from Deadline "Comscore/Screen Engine’s PostTrak shows that only 19% of the audience bought their tickets in advance (by either a week or month ago), indicating that Venom 2 received a bulk of walk-up business. Sixty-six percent of those who watched the Sony sequel bought their ticket day of, while 15% bought their tickets the day prior. On PostTrak, they enjoyed the movie at 4 stars."

$90m is a number that sparks joy.

this is very funny...for many reasons.

I'm skeptical about Eternals, over 85-100m seems a lot.

so higher than the first Venom despite the current situation. Nice.

thinking about Sony that almost delayed it to next year. Thanks Shang Chi.

it was raging only in a certain weekend.

Mendelson says 6.85m https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2021/09/08/movies-box-office-shang-chi-100m-disney-jungle-cruise-free-guy/?sh=242ed0fc1087

what the hell happened to ERC, he used to make snarky comments but now he has just lost his mind.

it wouldn't be BOT without some good meltdowns for previews #s.

I'm surprised how good it was, not sure if the trailers sold it right or they hid too much. I hope it has great wom.

Sony's Tik Tok shows 1 million views (maybe it's not updated) with 225k likes.

ah the usual "too many villains", "Iron spiderman", "the color pallette". I've been reading the same stuff since 2017 let it go.

with covid it's impossible to predict anything maybe in December this wave will ease down and it'll hit a billion. It is the first "movie event" since the pandemic has started so should be great to follow.

this

so 25m with the actuals eheh
