Here's a little Dune update from my non-PLF theater in Salt Lake.
Saturday 1:20 PM. 562 tix sold for remaining screenings.
Sunday 1:20 PM. 449 tix sold for remaining screenings.
20% drop as of now. May make up some ground this afternoon as yesterday was already at 80% of capacity when I did the count. Either way, great hold.

Warner didn't finance the film. They simply distributed it in North America.
They co-financed. 20%, according to Deadline.

Crazy weather day in Salt Lake City with high winds and winter weather advisories in effect, but the spice is flowing at my non-PLF theater. Here what it looks like at the Cinemark Sugarhouse.
Screenings left between now and 10:15 PM: 13
Total available tickets: 709
Seats sold as of 1:20 PM MST: 562 (79.3%)
I don't have an exact comp from yesterday, but I would guesstimate we're looking at a 25% bump already. Morning shows were very busy as well.

Early audience score numbers are in on RT. 95% with 100+ verified. Top of the first inning but still a good start.

There’s apparently a new Hollywood mystery where people have no idea where Kevin Costner got $100m to produce these films.
If the combined budget for films one and two was only $100M, that's pretty much a guaranteed profit. I don't know what the ceiling is for this, but the floor is high. Plenty of boomers out there who will make this one of the two or three movies they go to this year.

They only do these movies to keep the Spider-Man film rights or some shit like that. Madame Web and Morbius would meet the very defination of ashcan films if true.
Right, but they can still make a decent, or at least not totally incompetent film. They're pissing away their own brand when they release stuff that just becomes an Internet punch line. That doesn't do anybody any good in the long run.

Apparently the budget on this is only 80 million so there's actually a chance this could break even.
This is going to totally collapse after Presidents Day and it's already floundering overseas (France) so I would be shocked if this gets anywhere near $200M. I hope it doesn't... that would just encourage Sony to keep churning out more cynical cash grabs like this.

Superman only appearing in one quick shot seems like an obvious indication that he (perhaps unsurprisingly) gets sucked up into a tornado very early in the movie.
A scene of the future Superman flying, but not of his own volition, through a tornado would bring the house down.
I think this movie is going to be huge. It's nostalgia, it's Powell, it's dumb dinosaur-type VFX fun that like the Jurassic movies, will be largely review proof.

Considering the production budget is I believe around $200M then I would say absolutely not but it will avoid being the biggest bomb of the year.
I'm guessing that reported figure of $205M includes the 30% UK tax credit, but if by some miracle it doesn't, then this is going to be a lot less of a disaster than initially thought. The fact that they only spent a few hundred dollars on marketing helps too.

That was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Sloppy, goofy, and a whole lot of fun. Scattered clapping at the end in my screening. On to the Gunnverse!
3 tridents out of 4.

Tis a sad time for an Atlantean when the kingdom is in such rubble, but the way WB has treated this I have zero expectations going in, so at least I can't be disappointed. At the very least, it promises some good eye candy.
R.I.P., DCEU, and thanks for WW, Shazam, BOP, The Suicide Squad, ZSJL, Flash, and Blue Beetle. And here's to the DCU. I am eager to see what James has up his sleeve for my all-time favorite pop culture character. (And his cousin, too... Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is insanely cinematic.)
Happy Holidays everyone!

Great to see movie theaters outside major metros being so busy. That said just 228 seats for Oppy seem anemic 😞 theaters really dropped the ball on screen allocation for it.
Yeah, I was surprised too. They're running a full set for both Indy and Elemental and that's 11 screens right there. Elemental I can get because it's kids and it's been holding so well, but Indy...

Insane!

At this point they're like a 95 Year Old Italian Great Grandmother who refuses to go anywhere that some other 95 year Old Italian Great Grandmother will be because of something that happened in 1948 and when asked what happened will just answer 'She knows what she did' and if you really drill down it ends up being something like she never returned a salad bowl after a neighbourhood picnic.
Gunn should hire you for the writer's room! 👏

Box office be damned, that is one fantastic movie. Can't wait for Part 2.

Merry Christmas, Eric. You truly are someone who makes a difference.
Wishing you all the best in '23!
P.S. Dune and Wonka coming out within two months of one another? If the last three months of this year was challenging, then the Fall of '23 is going to be 😁🏆🎉👌

The cold front will be through all areas by tonight but the deep freeze lasts through the weekend.
The Buffalo metro area has instituted a driving ban this afternoon due to how bad the weather is there right now.
Buffalo is nuts right now. 10 degrees with heavy snow and blowing snow, updated forecast currently calling for winds up to 75 mph tonight, with a storm total by Sunday of 31-49 inches. Brutal wind chills as well. This is one for the record books.

Salt Lake Valley preview night update for Avatar 2: The Way of Water.
Cinemark Sugarhouse (SLC, non-PLF) 327 (+82 😃)
Cinemark Draper XD 356 (+36 🤨)
Cinemark Farmington XD 445 (+61 🤷♂️)
Total Tix Sold: 1128 (+179), increase of 18.9% from yesterday.
Final comps:
Nope 375%
Black Adam 304%
B.P. Wakanda 92.5%
Final Comps, Sugarhouse only:
Elvis 340%
JW: Dominion 89.8%
The Bat 77.7%
Thor: L&T 65.4%
Sugarhouse Friday presale is 117% of preview night.
Sugarhouse Saturday presale is 119.6% of preview night.
Not a bad day given the terrible weather here in the valley. (The sun finally came out about 45 minutes ago and the streets are starting to clear, so walk ups shouldn't be hindered much if at all.) With the weekend still looking strong and the ATP premium not accounted for in any of my comps, I'll go with 18/153.

Well, he at least he holds the world record for the quickest recovery from a debilitating spinal cord injury in Downton Abbey. (Less than one full episode.)
