Legion Again

Feige should have held off until Mon, everyone is too busy buying BW tickets to go to the movies

@keysersoze123 What style of gif offerings are required to summon you 👀

So, the day 1 sales are there. The capacity will be there. We’ve seen movies do surprisingly well with 0 days windows albeit none at this scale. ... let’s go

Solid theory. Let’s see how things develop next week

Yeah availability looks rather low. Definitely not a competition issue, shouldn’t be a PA issue based on how wide Cruella was, not sure what’s up. I have modest expectations for day 1 PS as a result though.

Local IMAXes not up yet. Guess I will wait

Weren’t SLOP2 previews 3.2M?

Hey, it’s been a long time since we had a real juicy meltdown weekend thread. PR2+ITH 25M would be a fun way to get ‘er dun 👀

If it had a 20% weekly drop Wed and 25% Th-Sun (optimistic but nothing crazy imo): Wed 1485k Th-Sun 9720k cume 57.7M, week of 14.25, would need to add 3x which is certainly tough. Aladdin added 2.6x its days 11-17, Raya is the only PA comp and looks like adding 4.5x (though boosted by midrun reopenings and regal/Cinemark).

Yeah that Cruella num is nice. 100M looking more plausible by the day.

LMAO, 9.5 on IMDb right now. Loki stans gonna stan The pilot looks like it will settle high 8s, pretty good compared to 7.5 for WV and 7.7 for FWS. To state the obvious these aren’t metrics of quality (I really liked the WV pilot) but of reception in one particular corner of the internets with its various skews.

Oh yeah, I should say, Owen Wilson was surprisingly great.

Oooh boy, man, time travel is really playing with fire. A lot of words were thrown around this ep that relate to very logically problematic instantiations of time travel. I guess there is nothing to do but pray that they can work things out in the next 5 eps. Aside from my foreboding feeling that his show might lead in to a totally fumbled execution of time travel and multiverse stuff that ruins Endgame, Phase 4, and the MCU at large... really enjoyed this first ep 😆

Hmmmmmmm Kind of reminded of Aladdin 900 goal. I think this is no Aladdin, but that goal was passed with ease in the end. I will go in on over Looking Glass.

Summer also inflates preview as % of OD since it’s not a schoolday Th. Totally agree with 35-40% Gosh, I wonder what the previous projection could have been. Probably 68-70 ish

Was going to say “that’s like Endgame level, no way.” But then I looked up more and realized it’s also 1% more than AM&tW. Pretty crazy how MCU remain relatively backloaded even when the previews go through the moon.

Pretty solid Mon for AQP2 there. Should stabilize this weekend.

IM for the franchise is hard to say, considering it didn’t really explode until F7 and F8 (which had Easter Sunday/Good Friday considerations making their IM weird). The beat comp imo is H&S, despite being a spin-off. It at least had a summer open — it’s also done a fairly similar amount of raw business to H&S in various OS markets and potentially DOM. H&S went 5.8 previews, x3 for a 17.8 True Fri, +15% for 20.5M Sat, -23% for 15.9 Sun and a 60M wknd — 10.3x. Sundays being harsher with no Canada could hurt the IM but only very slightly, if it goes big on previews that also naturally works a little against a large IM. But for now I’m expecting 8.5-9.5ish IM, I guess — if it can continue to match these comps I’d say that’s a great preview for it. Fast 6 did 6.5*15 for 97 with a MDW inflated Sun, but that was an eternity ago as far as how previews work.

Maoyan forecast for Cruella total: Sat night — ¥26M Sun — 32M Mon — 77M Tues — 119M Lol

Well, Peter Rabbit 1 was nuts in the UK. PR2 is falling in other markets markets where it’s opened so far— e.g. Australia and Russia

Oh yeah, multiple markets in this thread, whoops 😅

Hey, wait a minute, cume after this weekend seems to be below cume after last weekend? Was there some kind of reporting issue?

Well, seems safe to say this wasn’t a record 3rd weekend then

Yeah, more of the gross is being shifted into weekdays around now as well.
