Tbf even 57M would be a new pandemic OW record by 20%.
Reception seems bad and True Fri seems below 20 (though could always get extra strong walkups) so 55-60 seems right to me.
17.5 true Friday probably 56-59 OW, 19.5 gives more like 62-66.
Overall it looks like the 55-65 range we’ve been targeting for weeks should turn out right on the money.
Ohhh, just realized what these numbers are on about.
The one with the heist in Rio was pretty good. Haven’t seen most of the rest, ones that I have were bad, not sure exactly which and not checking.

With a very reasonable OW (60-80)... and extremely pessimistic legs. No premier access to hide behind this time 👀
I’m back in the Bay Area right now and it’s nuts how many stores are still requiring masks for no reason. Feels like one of the slowest regions in the nation to return to normalcy behaviorally despite having great virus numbers for a long time now.
Man, just great numbers this week. It feels like March 12-March 19 2020, but in reverse.
Expecting Wednesday to be even better, with perhaps a weekly increase or two. Unless the Friday jumps suck this is a really really good sign for the summer imo.
Shaft went +9% on its OW despite awful reception and R rating. It’s absolutely true that this Father’s Day underperformed relative to Sat — but the Sat was stronger than the last few Sats.
Imo Sat had a little Juneteenth boost and that’s why even the strongest Father’s Day movies decreased from it slightly.
