Cap

Ramos is also such a homer, I would take it with a grain of salt. That is like me saying you’re all not ready for Chris Evans amazingness, and it’s just another picture of him and Dodger.

It’s what they deserve for tanking Eternals with their bullshit negative reviews. 🔪🔪😇😇

We are FOUR days into pre-sales and have no idea what the next week and a half will look like. I am very excited that everyone is excited, but I don’t think a little bit of caution is uncalled for here. And let’s remember that 2x the next largest opening since the pandemic is still excellent and nothing to cry over.

In The Heights going from 100 to 0 real quick was the most depressing event of the year. Total lock for more disappointing box office run. Like the cliff that went off, damn; almost makes me wonder if it was WSS hit job to clear them out of the Oscar race 😂😂😂

Also the way to properly play tribute to Sondheim would be to cut I Feel Pretty, since he hates that song 🤣🤣🤣

At this point I’m mostly rooting for it on principle. We’ve had a long stretch of moving musicals that have not done well, critically and/or commercially. The genre really needs a success.

I thought that too. I thought the OMITB episode was waaaaaaay stronger overall. This was good. That was fantastic.

I don’t care if I sound like a broken record, it is such a pity they cast Jeremy Renner as this character 10 years ago. It is such a fucking pity. 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪

Ugh it ate my post: @Eternal Legion 22M OW/98M DOM would be ideal/amazing for WSS. I expect 15/75 at this point. @Menor 300M you say? Do I have a poll for you?

Only 3 days. Way to bounce back like a champ. I was at least two weeks.

I am going to judge each category individually. So if the math does not add up, I don’t care. I’m not doing some grand prize for who got the weekend the most accurate overall**. so, for example. Let’s say that you put down 10 million in previews. You now think that it’s going to do 20 million in previews. That is going to increase your total by 10 million. But you don’t think the rest of the weekend is going to change. So in that scenario, you were just update the total and you would leave the Friday, Saturday, Sunday. does that make sense? ** So now that I said that, that feels like an oversight. Anyway.

I love how we’re joking, but this is totally accurate. 🤪

Oh. Someone didn’t predict previews. They only gave me a total for opening weekend. So that’s where the 34 comes from

We referred to it as the one dollar price is right prediction.

This is why you all need to give me exact numbers when December 13 rolls around 😘😘😘

The Previews Are Locked In. We had 34 users submit Preview Predictions. Names omitted to protect the guilty: PREVIEWS 45,000,000 42,120,000 40,500,000 40,000,000 37,000,000 36,000,000 36,000,000 35,510,000 35,069,420 34,200,000 34,000,000 33,255,743 33,000,000 31,000,000 30,500,000 30,200,000 30,200,000 29,000,000 28,800,000 28,000,000 28,000,000 27,690,000 27,500,000 27,300,000 25,000,000 25,000,000 24,100,000 21,400,000 20,000,000 18,500,000 16,500,000 16,000,000 15,000,000 There's still 2 weeks left to finalize your F/S/S/OW predictions -- or just send me predictions! If you edit them, PLEASE tag me. I don't want to miss any last minute tweaks.

So just for shits and giggles, I went combing through my old data. I don't have a complete picture cause I tossed a bunch of it, but I do have first day numbers for Endgame and TROS. I should note that I would take this with an EXTREME grain of salt, cause one of the theaters is forever closed to the pandemic, so only the two opened back up. Apple/Cinemagic Spider-Man: No Way From Home: 508 tickets sold Avengers: Endgame 1138 tickets sold | Comps out to 44.63M Thursday Previews Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: 830 tickets sold | Comps out to 24.48M Thursday Previews So, uh, I think this is gonna be a hit. 🤷‍♀️ I did a quick eyeballs at the local theaters that I track. Everything is basically 70-90% full. I'm not going to comp it out, because all the recent comps would be garbage. For me, the big question is how much pent up demand has the first 24 hours burned off. It's been wild folks. It's nice to see something this crazy again. Yet, let's not forget: It’s the first thing that fandom has really had any reason to be super excited about in a very long time. Twitter has been pushing and pushing this date forever. Then the sites crashed, and then it became a meme/thing of like "get your tickets now because the site's crashing. They’re going to be gone!!" We don’t know what’s gonna happen with the staffing shortage. Because the reality is that, sure, Empire 25 probably could run all night like they did AEG weekend. But a bunch of the local theaters in the rural areas or independent chains probably will not do that. They’ll probably think: this is great! I’m sold out already! They can buy for Friday or Saturday. Because why would I pay for overtime staff, when I could just have people come to my theater the next day? Especially at Christmas when it's very typical for things to be spread out over the week. Should make for a very interesting couple weeks. * I also don't know -- it was several pages back -- who had numbers for Lincoln Square, but these are the top 5 first day sellers from that theater when I was tracking it: Movie Sold Endgame 4665 Star Wars TROS 4235 Joker 1082 Lion King 1002 Dark Phoenix 479 I thought I had Empire 25, but I must've deleted it in my COVID depression rage.

Of course! I asked for the chart because it was gonna be easier to copy and paste things in to my spreadsheet using that formula. But I’m a big enough girl that I can manually type things 😂😉

Girl it was from like seven years ago. My local news doesn’t keep stuff up that long 😂😂😂

Aww, the in person lines are just so quaint. I love it. Make them work for those tickets. I remember the days when they didn’t have advanced seating, and you had to spend the entire day at the movie theater in order to get a seat! Funny story, I was waiting in line for Star Wars, and the news crew showed up to cover people going to see the Star Wars movie. And one of the cameraman like clocked me, I was like oh my God it’s a girl. And immediately asked if I would be interviewed. 😂😂

put it down in the contest (see link in sig)

I legit can’t win and tbh I havent logged eveeything into the spreadsheet yet 😂

this is pretty SOP

It only took 1hr 15 minutes, but guess who finally got tickets! Also all that panic for nothing. There were only two seats sold before me. I even got our normally seats. LMFAOOOO.
