  1. More studios should follow WB’s lead here. Just throw some really upcharged PLF only showings up for Mon Tues and Wed night (these would easily sellout even with another 20% price increase imo) can snag some good WOM from the diehards and more of them will contribute to “OW” twice than if you started on Th. Main problem may be if people start discussing the plot openly on on social media by Tues.
  2. Looking at all time stats, Bates seems extremely sick. It’s going to be hard to compare “points” from pre and post pandemic eras unless we can pump the participation back up over time.
  3. I really don’t think there’s much info in these advances selling out when they have so little supply. Any movie where we were expecting mid 20s previews or so would have down the same.
  4. Right. And as EC and I agree, the US norms around theatrical contracts are excessively limiting to little benefit for either party It doesn’t really matter in a practical sense for any past or future megaopeners, but their (relatively) low screen counts vs 6 week old movies making nothing is philosophically/aesthetically displeasing and a minor personal hobbyhorse 😛
  5. Well, it isn’t really consequential what size the initial set is tbf. But the rapid ramp up from that initial set (which, as you yourself pointed out was more than endgame) indicates that the initial set was probably low from the theaters perspective and they would have gone higher if they had a better grasp on demand for wss, NWH, and alley. And based on the per show occupancy I bet theaters could have done more total business that weekend by cutting half their final nonNWH shows for more NWH shows.
  6. I remember when you had to burn another 3 hours when they immediately expanded a bunch from the initial sets… because they realized they were way to small
  7. Yeah, that’s what I mean. NWH was the only game in town that weekend with 12x the business of everything else combined, far exceeding Endgame’s previous record of 8x. I think even the amount of shows it ended up with was probably below what made sense under the circumstances (not that I expect it made much difference).
  8. I will drown my sorrow in asking whether the standings tab has plans to be updated 😭 😛
  9. 2 days of pre-previews being rolled into Th being rolled into Fri? What an out of left field development
  10. Nearly flat week while losing premium screens and holidays on the horizon? Specter is toast, NTTD good chance
  11. Razor tight here. Going to be determined by KM (your 1.25 vs my 1.26), RL (your 1.01 vs my 1.00) and AU (your .81 vs my .83).
  12. I guess it would be relatively easy to build one up via the wayback machine.
  13. Looks like doubtfire is a 4day too -- I can't find the 3day but probably beating it as well for 9th
  14. I think you've got Mary's 4day there, the 3-day of 8.8 is locked so the top 10 should be as well 😌
