From chatter from the creatives/cast, sounds like the Doctor Strange episode (ep 4) is going to be huge. Maybe Wandavision ep 5 level impact (hopefully gets paid off better, lol).
Yeah, it was May 7-9. It got MTC2… +MTC3… +Mother’s day. No market expansion to speak of as all regions were open already. Looking at the Fri and Sat weekly jumps the new chains have a clear impact.
Yep. But worth noting that the PTA in theaters where that was its wk 8 or whatever was so low that the new locs didn’t exactly need huge business to bump it a little.
I think this weekend lines up more with the Meg -29% weekend in terms of calendar -- but ow sun is often a little stronger than normal sun, so yeah, 25 can be hoped.
Re mtc2, hour diff and admits vs gross explain most of it.
Nah. JC was back during proper summer. Same partial return to school dynamics that help Sat relative to Fri also hurt Sun night. I would be happy with -30%
Edit: actually I’m expecting -30 and would be fine with it, but would be happy with WOM driving to more like -25
I’m fine with a mandate as long as the vaccines are actually OK, which they are. I do not appreciate the FDA heel dragging though. Mercifully, it should be over quite soon, within a month or so.
Not to sound rude, but this is absolutely despicable. Voluntarily taking the vaccine is good, forcing others to take it is also good, and suggesting otherwise is absolutely disgusting though.
