Completely inaccurate. OS almost always runs longer. For instance Infinity War ended the same week domestically but continued making pennies until January of the next year OS. Endgame made a small amount OS last weekend after it was out of theaters DOM.
Yeah, 11 day PS run will be very short for a CBM. Maybe another sign that they view it as more of a Oscar-y adult character drama than action blockbuster CBM fare.
Or maybe they just think it will get more hype that way 🤷♂️
I’d come to expect a ~35% dip from the breakout first one by a week or two before opening. It’s not great but it looks a lot better if you compare it to literally any similar movie except for It 1.
I’m liking Sully as a Hustlers comp with the way M, W, Th, Fr have shaped up. A similar IM would be almost 18M for the weekend, we’ll see if Saturday can make that possible.
Audience RT obviously isn’t perfect. There’s self-reporting bias and often rather small sample sizes. But still it’s still got some informational value, and is available before Cinemascores and continues updating after, which is why people bother talking about it at all.
You’ll have more emotional connection to the characters, appreciate certain details more, and maybe catch some Easter eggs, but it’s not required. The first 10 minutes of the movie are kind of recappy.
Beat TLJ by like 38% in box office. Looks on track to beat it by maybe 15% in comb physical video sales. Seems quite impressive to me considering about a year and a half in between and physical sales should be on a downward trend.
