Releasing trailer before 2 months of release is a waste.

won't work since the ramp up mostly start at same time for all films. Just that if you start back your bottom of U will be very low.

@Porthos not a direct comp since your coverage increased a lot but trend wise maybe take a leaf from Infinity War

Excellent day 2 in Sacramento and Philly to not fall off NWH. @Porthos what are you thinking comp wise? Because first x days of sales won't work and no film recently had 29 days of sale. I guess from day 5 may be start comping with T-14 NWH till it reach T-14?

I guess 15M opening for all 3 MCU films this year, 40M+ final.

Yeah ofc but 1. You have to download many many many sheets for checking weekend numbers of a film. 2. Saltypopcorn has uploaded all those numbers in a database, so its easier to find numbers. 3. Saltypopcorn has data going back in 70s I think.

Hmm. Checked other regionals. Final day comps are all around $6M ish. So I guess Harkins isn't an outlier. Well done Harkins, you never fails.

I guess this suffice. Pre-sales reading is more than just normal comparisons. Need to see how things gonna pan out in full picture and there are various factors to consider.

Sonic 2 Harkins California and Phoenix 4 California - 2078/8639 on 29 shows Phoenix - 1726/5211 on 26 shows + 100 on 2 shows Total - 3804/13850 + 100 There are 6-7 shows walk-ins pending and will reach 3.9K may be. Will update as it will be. Comps 1.2 The Suicide Squad Gross - $4.9M 0.575x Shang Chi Gross - $5M 0.8x Morbius Gross - $4.6M 1.43x Uncharted Gross - $5.2M Not as high as other places have. Donno why. Slightly higher burn in Early Access screening though then nationwide. Including those comps should jump around 30%, which still gives $6.1-6.75M ish. I like Uncharted comp. $5-5.25M THU perhaps. Edit: I missed two shows in Phoenix 4. Those probably did another 100+.

Also BTW. There is no absolutely no sign yet that it is opening $170M.

I know you guys pay a lot of attention to stuff like last film did xyz so 2x of that will not be disappointing. It depends on individual film. Dr Strange was simple origin story. DS 2 is an MCU major event with Doctor Strange being one of the if not the biggest superhero in current MCU regime after his appearance in movies after his own origin movie. Now am not saying $170M will be considered disappointing by most but we aren't most people. DS2 is the spiritual sequel to film which opened $260M in December 2021, not $85M in Nov 2016.

One can't be disappointed from something that don't exist.

Unfortunately yes for INT. Even if ignoring China non-release of DS 2, Europe and Japan will probably still eat this up and Asia won't be able to give that much edge to DS2.

what do you mean there are 4 Avengers films? 🙄 there are only 3. Assemble Infinity War Endgame

Should reach 120k+ I guess that would be $1.25M ish. Good for $6.25-6.75M, but regional comps aren't that high so I guess $6M ish THU + $1.5M early access.

Finally finished with Harkins Doctor Strange. Took only 4 hours. Doctor Strange Harkins T-29 Day Format Shows Capacity Sold % Sold Gross ATP Normal 341 88,216 6,397 7.25% $71,950 $11.25 Cine 1 31 9,394 4,400 46.84% $64,253 $14.60 Cine Capri 6 2,673 442 16.54% $6,162 $13.94 IMAX 4 1,780 778 43.71% $12,448 $16.00 3D 21 3,885 116 2.99% $1,591 $13.72 Total 403 105,948 12,133 11.45% $156,404 $12.89 Comps 2.69x The Batman first day Gross - $58M 0.45x Spider-man: No Way Home first day Gross - $23M 0.41x Spider-man: No Way Home first day Admits - $21M 0.78x Eternals final Gross - $7.4M 0.98x Shang Chi final Gross - $8.5M 0.64x Black Widow final Gross - $8.5M Well it's good but probably not as much other places relative to NWH because I think NWH did better in even those cinemas which don't have much pre-sales and Harkins has many of them. Harkins best performing locs like Cerritos, Estrella Fall are closer to NWH while smaller locs are way behind. Let's see how it stabilise in next few weeks.

Doctor Strange 2 AMC Empire 25 (17 Hours) Dolby - 629 (4) - $15.4k Prime - 355 (4) - $8.9k IMAX - 790 (4) - $19.4k 3D - 83 (4) - $1.9k Normal - 452 (15) - $8.4k Total - 2309 (31) - $54k Comps 60% admits and 68% Gross of No Way Home 11 hours 4.95x Eternals day 1 9.3x Shang Chi day 1

Sonic 2 Harkins California and Phoenix 4 T-1 Day California - 905/8639 on 29 shows Phoenix 4 - 616/5211 on 26 shows Total - 1521/13850 on 55 shows Comps 1.38x The Suicide Squad T-1 day - $5.5M 0.44x Shang Chi T-1 day - $4M Not the best of comps but these are what I have for now. Not only the other two are CBMs but Sonic also burned 1226 audiences in early access shows today in these cinemas. For sake of it, including those would mean 79% of Shang Chi i.e. $7M approx. Sonic 2 will be making big gain on these two tomorrow with walkins. I think final THU be something like 4-4.5k in these, which would be good for $6Mish pure THU.

About double of Batman EA + Previews 24 hours. What will you say this data is for. Is it same as you started last night? So some cinemas 4-5 hours, others 14-15 hours?

Sonic 2 Early Access Harkins Arizona Mills - 147/211 Chandler Fashion - 157/226 Estrella Falls - 341/427 Cerritos - 317/427 Mountain Grove - 264/427 Santan - 156/232 Tempe - 192/293 Flagstaff - 178/229 Tucson - 166/230 Northfield - 154/282 Total - 2,072/2,984 (69.4%) Solid sales. Will look previews in a short while and maybe try something for Doctor Strange 2.

Not Mojo exactly but does the job https://www.saltypopcorn.co.uk

Thanks to @Menor Reborn for developing a scrapper for the chain and saving me hours of tabs shuffling & data entry. In around ~3.5-4 hours around 8k seats sold in Harkins as compared to 29k full day of NWH & 3.9k full day of Batman.

Probably not at nationwide level. Some samples sure.
