Exactly. I was sort of expecting last Saturday’s “highest admissions” status not to last, whereas I think today will in fact keep the title, but I don’t really have more justification than “just a hunch.”
We’ll see how it plays from here, but this is giving me vibes of unplanned — the people who wouldn’t like it just flat out didn’t go, and aren’t around to drag scores down. That 93% is out of just 299 reviews.
I know this is a bit late, but Endgame presales absolutely were indicating mid 300s. People then manually adjusted down because they couldn't believe it.
77% is actually unbelievable bad. The way numbers tend to get presented in drops rather than holds kind of masks that, but if it did double that much money it would still be a 54% drop.
77% is:
2 weekends worth of dropping at 52% each
3 weekends worth of 39% drops
4 weekends worth of 31% drops
5 weekends worth of 25% drops
... or if Phoenix loses to Rocketman
Newest update also has RM 8M and Aladdin 14.7M. Frankly these are too early to take seriously and I expect that Shaft, MIBI, Aladdin, Phoenix, and Rocketman will all rise from the numbers in this update.
Wow, just woke up and my head is spinning with this news. Seems very bad for CBO and artistic expression to be tightening the reigns on censorship like that. And if they actually totally barred US imports+overcensor locals, I imagine theater owners would be livid.
Silver lining I suppose is that Better Days+800 were making me pretty nervous for FFH.
