Lots of kids will be vaccinated by the time Encanto comes out… but the people silly enough to be waiting on that will probably be waiting for 2 weeks after a 2nd shot or whatever.
Yeesh, maybe read the comment carefully instead of the condescension next time 🙄
Yes, it is literally a spin-off. That does not mean that spin-off is necessarily the best frame of reference as far box office comps go. It’s a different sort of relationship to the original property than you typically see.
Same way they didn’t all show up on Thursday for Shang Chi. Most of the people who showed up to BW previews were general audience, not mcu diehards like me. If Eternals looks less appealing to some of them, they won’t be there Thursday.
Also it is a bit harder to hit like 160 mins on a school night vs 130 or whatever when there’s no school.
I guess expectations haven’t been totally recalibrated after all 🤣
I think a very optimistic scenario is like 11*8.3 to barely beat venom. Pessimistic lets say 8*7.5
I think expectations have been largely recalibrated over the past week, so I (perhaps naively) think we’ll be fine as long as we beat the Meltdown Bar™️
