[The Batman | March 4, 2022 | Warner Bros. | Certified Fresh on RT | 7th Most Profitable Movie of 2023]

Some bold studio should just have shows from noon on Mon Tues Wed and Th while firmly informing the industry that as these are “special fan advance sneak limited events” they are actually part of the Friday OD gross. Just full UK that shit.

Can someone tell me why it opens officially on the 4th and yet last night it had IMAX showings and now today, the third, it has full showings here in Toronto.  I don't get it.

Many studios recognize an opportunity to get that early WOM going with the prepreviews, but only WB has mastery of the preprepreview arts.

This number means next to nothing - of course Batman’s biggest fans are the first to snatch up early tickets to see it.

Now at 95% with 250+. I suspect it will settle around 90 — people who love it seem to LOVE it but there are some obvious elements from reviews that aren’t exactly maximized for GA enjoyment/might clash a bit with expectations. Not too surprising considering e.g. War for the Planet of the Apes.

Starting a 3 hour movie which has no Batman or Avengers in it. I know nothing about the movie apart from the title and the fact that it's nominated for Best Picture and Director this year and is Japanese.

Gonna go out on a limb and suggest that someone may pilot an automobile

I believe the adjusted openings for following roughly:

Dark Knight- 202m

TDKR- 185m

BVS- 175m

Batman Forever- 111m

Batman Returns- 105m

Batman- 98m

Batman and Robin- 85m

These all seem to be correct with 2019 atp: http://www.boxofficereport.com/adjustedweekends.html

 

So with CPI inflation since dec 2019:

Dark Knight- 221

TDKR- 202

BVS- 191

Batman Forever- 121

Batman Returns- 115

Batman- 107

Batman and Robin- 93

 

Of course, I’ll give my usual Spiel about how atp adjustment underrates old OWs. Maybe stop by with a rank history of Batman OW (and a few DOM/WW ranks) later tonight after my shift.

Most movies add 5x their T-2, which would get Batman to ~12k. NWH just 3x, which would be ~9.9k. I am thinking it will grow about 60% from here (10830), which would put final comps at:

BW 19 

SC 19  

LTBC 19

nttd 21

Dune 22.2

Et 18.8  

NWH  22.5

 

so we can see that the 4 small marvel movies will basically be in agreement, with nttd about 10% higher and NWH almost 20% higher. I guess I would take about 22 from that final figure, but it also wouldn’t be too surprising to come in 10% higher or lower.

If 40M Th+Fri was true at time of that article publishing, it would do previews around 40M and debut over 200M. So… apply the contrapositive 😛

Deadline saying $40m presales for Thursday/Friday. 

This is not possibly true based on what we can see, somebody got their wires mixed somewhere. Maybe they were told that there were enough presales for a 40M OD to be locked?

BW comp increasing is big game still, pretty strong evidence of the review bump being noticeable vs a normal final week Monday acceleration.

No.    
 

Pretty weak PS, but it looks like the case situation is completely out of control right now? I just glanced at it for the first time in months and honestly surprised that this is even coming out instead of being delayed.
