Well, since I unfortunately wasted my time catching up on the last 5 pages, guess I should comment.
The FB opening is awful but pretty unclear there’s any pandemic effect vs just franchise apathy. Sonic drop based on the Th seems likely to be disappointing but I think Good Friday will surprise high so I’m not gonna comment further until then.
EEAAO is doing pretty great fwiw. Batman wasn’t like, huge huge huge, but totally respectable pre-pandemic blockbuster ticket sales. People will still show up for what feels worth showing up for — and if that bar is higher than it used to be, very difficult to disentangle a pandemic shock vs a mere continuation of a secular trend (attendance was declining all through the 00s, per capita attendance even worse, streaming industry pivot was pre-pandemic, etc). It doesn’t seem severe enough to kill exhibition this decade or anything, but probably should contract screens (and increase PLF %) in the long run. All the same stuff we’ve been talking about for years.
