Joyous Legion

What’s the usual daily pattern for mega openers? -10% tues would be normal/good in a lot of the markets I hang around more.

I think there’s a terrible trio of intensifying omicron headlines, spidey sucking up oxygen, and mixed (not awful, but legit mixed) reactions (while the review aggregator numbers are not that bad the social media responses were underwhelming as those go). It is hard to disentangle, and of course all of those interact with each other and with max.

I mean, look — I agree that it has more demo overlap with NWH and that this is a bad date for it. Been saying so for months. I agree that max will hurt it, been saying so for even longer. But these sales numbers are really collapsing compared to strong initial indications of interest, and I don’t think you can blame that all on spidey. The word out on this movie currently makes it sound less GA appealing than the GA likely expected. Personally I am probably gonna watch it in a theater Thursday and I’m kind of expecting to like it more than NWH, but that won’t change that it looks like it will need an Xmas miracle to hit (already fairly lowered by factors you mention) expectations $$wise.

I think sylvester’s post is really hyperbolic, but this is not much of an excuse either when Sing looks to do waaaaay more on the exact same date.

About 175k today.

Reception ain’t gonna help. The year of max ending with a whimper.

I’d tell you to make more bets with people on Reddit, but they seem to have welshed on my $40 so that’s a dead end 😔

I think they were cancelled for TROS because it was 24th. I think they may be cancelled for NWH 28th, but active for 21st?

I guess if Sony wanted to be saved by Jat they should have made a good movie

Safe to say we don’t have to worry about the openers 🤣

Just seems like a weird thing to say when we’ve only seen it once so far 😛

I hold him personally responsible for not buying $1M of DOM tickets today

Like 31.5 actual be much more bearable than 29.5

My only point is that the idea of a concept having lost its pull after one movie is silly. This differs from IW in some pretty important respects of course (though IW was below TA adjusted anyway).

NWH would have been 290+ with DS2’s date imo, so 30% less will get the job done for me.

Mon: spillover Tues: discounts Wed: OD for competition Th: “normal”

Could dig up alpha admit drop relationship to gross drop back from keyser daily runs I guess. Never mind, looks like about 17% atp drop then. Not what we were hoping for, XXR’s tues nums look really bad too. Some March 2020 flashbacks, let’s see how it goes.

People really seem to misunderstand the implications of that quote 🤣

Hmm, that could be like mid 20s wed, maybe we’re finally getting killed by omicron 👀

In strange’s defense he was deliberately a weak ignorant asshole in the origins story as part of his character arc, and since then has only appeared in supporting roles where it makes sense for him to assume a more severe posture as part of the character dynamic vs the MCU’s over abundance of lighthearted quipster types. DS2 is the first best chance to actually be likable, so we’ll see what comes of it.

$12.20M

I suspect MCU can wring half a dozen huge movies/boosts outta multiverse. Quantumania on deck hopefully.

It’s true that Strange is not that likable. He should smile more in this one 😏

Seeing all these heroes team up will no doubt be one of [Infinity War’s] big selling points, but how effective will that be, now that the novelty is no longer there?
