Cameron is also credited as the top writer in terminator dark fate as well as top producer, let’s not forget he did do that movie.

Yeah, but that was a large part due to the negative reception of Last Jedi.
And/or a lot of people liked Jumanji. I think if Shazam feels it could be a good fun light hearted alternative to a 3 hour serious movie like avatar I thinks it’s worth a shot with the amount of people who will be at theatres anyway.

Yeah, but would you have released it against Avatar?
I actually think it would have helped it quite a bit. Look at the example of Jumanji vs Star Wars Last Jedi.. Jumanji became the alternative film next to do the big event movie and in turn cranked out over 404M DOM/ 962M WW

When the visuals is the thing people take away from a trailer I start thinking about movies that were heavily cgi in the past like Star Wars attack of the clones and how those movies aged. It’s been 12 years.. gonna need more than visuals to sell GA on a three hour movie

I don't think @Eric Carey would mind me commenting about this aspect since it could be a bit informative on the general subject. But tagging him just in case.
The coordination aspect would be better directed at someone like @Deep Wang or @DAJK any other number of our board members who have worked at theaters, but in this particular case it was booked at a theater which doesn't see much traffic and had plenty of open seats available.
An Endgame/The Force Awakens situation this wasn't where tickets were in scare supply. As of last night, about 80% of tickets were still available in the region, with it skewing toward the better theaters/prime viewing hours. But even in the case of a mega opener, someone can call a theater, inquire about showtimes that haven't seen many sales and then either get a bunch of tickets at once or pay (through the nose) to rent an entire auditorium.
And with a 3pm start of previews, coupled with showtimes running all the way to midnight, well, plenty of showtimes available for groups who want to do something like this. I mean, 301 showtimes is a lot.
Isn't really that hard to do.
Perfect! Thanks for the kind informative reply and not biting my head off for asking lol.

I've seen news stories about them (mostly about Star Wars, but other movies as well) and I've seen them happen as I track movies locally.
So, me, personally? No. But I'm a bit on the anti-social side, so that would follow. But, no really, it isn't that unusual.
Easiest way to put it is: Rare? Yes. Unheard of? No.

It must be said it also could be a ticketing error on the part of the theater in question. That happens as well and it'll become apparent in due time. But Occam's Razor applies here, I think.
That’s a shame you haven’t been to one because I wanted to ask how you go about booking 50 seats for a popular movie on opening weekend without running into the issue that everyone booking there seats at the same time as you.
Not directed at you but the people getting defensive about me just asking need to chill.

My dude, it happens with plenty of Event Movies. Even happened with Top Gun: Maverick when there was a group sale of 51 tickets on the first day of sales at one of the theaters I track.
As for "who", the list is endless. For this movie, church groups are a somewhat obvious culprit. As are businesses who are having office parties.
This isn't an unheard of experience.
Have you been to one yourself or just heard of them?

It's not that uncommon when it's part of some kind of community group that already has scheduled group outings and such. Not the same as a group of friends.
What kind of community group has a nice round number of 50 that happen to all be fans of marvel and have similar schedules in there daily lives? Just seems like hogwash to me.-

Most likely some type of community group/school group etc.
But going back to what I said.. it’s hard enough getting a group of 10 people to agree on a movie time/date and have them all be free but it’s almost impossible for a group of 50 people.

FINAL SOLD NOTES: "Final sold" is the number of tickets sold for the movie in question at stop of tracking while "% of final" is the percentage of Black Panther 2's current tickets sold versus that final number.
Regal: 1871/11712 [15.98% sold]
Matinee: 376/4103 [9.16% | 4.81% of all tickets sold]====
Somewhat buoyed by at least 70 tickets worth of group sales (a 50 and a 20 at two separate theaters), so we'll have to see how much the acceleration continues when there isn't a 50 spot dropped on a single showing. Still, sales are sales, and Sacto is hardly the only place where mega group purchases are gonna happen.
Bulk buying tickets hmm.. wonder who that is going to? Seems unlikely a group of 50 friends would be able to pull off that scheduling for a movie.

Personally I think people should just mind there own business when it comes to personal medical choices.. it’s up to the individual what they choose to put in there body and nothing to do with us or this movie. Focus on the movie instead.. nobody cares about your world views.

Looks like someone messed up at ABC News PR, the line about "exclusive world premiere of Avatar: The Way of Water" has been removed from the Nov 2 - Wed summary.
the original post for Nov. 2
Wednesday, Nov. 2 —Actress Angela Bassett (“Wakanda Forever”); actor Daniel Radcliffe (“Weird: The Al Yankovic Story”);
exclusive world premiere of “Avatar: The Way of Water” trailer;Oprah’s Favorite Things edition of Deals and Steals with ABC e-commerce editor Tory Johnson and Oprah Daily creative director Adam GlassmanIf Fox didn’t get bought by a studio that owned everything to the point it’s afraid it’s competing with itself then Avatar would be getting tons of marketing already and this trailer would be out in the wild.

Absolutely nothing about that needed any kind of intervention unless you’ve never had a debate or seen one in your life.

When did women over 30 become hesitant to go to the movies? When you look at the late 80s and early 90s they really drove ticket sales. And they dictated who would become a star. Feels like that's part of why we don't have stars anymore - the people who made stars don't go to the movies like they used to.
An interesting question… Top Gun Maverick brought them out.
Nowadays streaming platforms and a lot of movies that turn out to be stinkers have made people more reluctant to go see things they might have in the past unless it’s a Top Gun Maverick. So far this year it has been the only film that was a must watch at the theatre.

If you look at the time that tweet was sent you’ll see that I am right and you are wrong.
I don’t know how you’ve worked that one out but he’s definitely right and you’re definitely wrong. It says 28th which is Friday and depending on which time zone you live in the time could say anything

This was the initial comment. 25M was the lowball estimate. It will come on 2M above, not 2M below. Still an underwhelming 2nd weekend but not really notably bad or notably good.
The lowball estimate was 27M. 27M-25M = 2M quick maths

No it literally said 25M last morning.
Now that sat has come in, it will be edited… up to 27M
Deadline is literally calling 25M saturday estimates. Maybe you didn’t read what I wrote properly but deadline edited Fridays estimates which were 27M to 25M after Saturdays estimates. So no it was edited down
Saturday estimates:
1.) Black Adam (NL) 4,402 theaters, Fri $7.5M (-72%) 3-day $25M (-63%)/Total $108.4M/Wk 2

What are you talking about? They had 25M since yesterday. They haven't updated it at all. Here's the Deadline estimates from yesterday morning
Yesterday was Saturday which is what I just said? You do realise the article has an edit button and has been edited since Friday right? Just read the link itself you just posted.. still shows 27M right there in the link

What really did WB expect to earn from BA? Is $500 WW a solid gross? It's looking like a Shazam total which isn't ideal and surely not sequel-worthy.
Moving off topic a bit, but what kind of appetite is there for MOS 2? Has BA truly stoked interest in it? I think the first movie was just short of brilliance, bogged down by a torrid, effects-laden finale that made you stop caring.
I'd be shocked if MOS 2 did more than the 660 odd million the original did back in 2013, unless either Flash or AM 2 rocks and sets something up. And I highly doubt BA being in it would bring in much more cash on the basis of this film's gross.
A true back to basics Superman sequel with focus on character minus more multiverse / JL nonsense on a lower budget would be refreshing.
Judging by Cavill’s latest interview that’s what he is going for together with WB. He seems really involved in the whole process choosing the suite and everything.. I don’t think it will have much to do with Snyders and they don’t really have to link it to BA at all. -

Rhianna just had a baby in May so she probably didn't put the usual time into these two songs.
I hope you realise Rihanna doesn’t write her songs.. never has.
