WOW, Lost City popping off with that num

Well yeah. What’s the point of choosing a bar it will actually hit, are you trying to deny me my fun or something

If sats continue to shake things up big XXR has a shot actually.

Just realized there’s a funny parallel with Ex Machina right before Ultron

All the casuals can hit up EEAAO on may 13 once they get into multiverses

5 made sense off 1.9 assuming a normal Easter, but 6.2 is a far saner wknd-to-wknd pta drop.

Between this and Sonic, seems pretty likely that Good Friday was only partial strength this year. Maybe 60%? Then instead of a movie doing say 1.7- baseline fri, 2.7 IM for 4.6x wknd/baseline fri (satsun at 2.9x baseline fri). The fri would only be 1.4x baseline fri, and sat sun at 2.9x would take to 4.3x instead of 3.8x (so ~14% higher). Weekend won’t be that bad if so. Could even upset the derby.

2M likes or flop

1.95 is achieved, final I guess will be 1.975-2 depending on whether these things accelerate near release. In other words, prepare to get blue balled with 198M

Could get pretty close to 30 then. Looks like good Friday impact was indeed muted.

Rough weekend at the Derby folks. Another win for @TalismanRing, close right for 2nd in the low 80%s

Usually fairly normal sun/sat, sometimes a bit harsher than normal depending on Sat worked out. Therefore bit deflated vs last sun

Regarding 100M, we are very near (maybe already at) the point where the only MCU films to miss a modern day equivalent of 100M are ant-men and the 2021 clunkers. Avatar and Batman Begins easily get there, as well as JL and of course the 20th century bat flicks. Minions I don’t know the OWs and don’t feel like looking it up, but not sold that minions 2 will hit it so seems like a dubious include. 100M doesn’t take that many tickets anymore — like 16M+ back when Spider-man did it, now or soon can get there with less than 8M. And you’ve practically got 4 days instead of 3.

People were talking about this 4 week corridor being oversaturated with big releases, but in reality they’ve only…. provided 4 of the year’s top 6 OW 🤔

Dead topic for next two weeks. For now my initial entry looks rock solid

Keep going Alanis, take us to 1.9

What April really needs is a NWH extended edition

These fridays all seem kinda weak side. Wonder if Sat can be a little better than most years. Will reinforce @M37’s “muted holiday dynamics” theory if so.

Sounds like it should gross 800M+ then

They’re just chasing 42.0

Could you grace us with some Stu and EEAAO action @EmpireCity?

Is it just me or do we have a strange amount of 39-44M openings post pandemic?

Hey that’s not too bad for Dumbledore. Could go like… 41-44? Ouch for Sonic, 27.5ish

Cool, gotcha. Iirc MTC1&2 generally have higher share for previews, so mtc4 share should be higher on Fri and national increase should be bit less than MTC4 increase. But I won't venture a specific guess, we'll know in like 4 hrs anyway.

Do you have a % vs previews?
