Don't know for certain yet, lots of theaters don't have showtimes up. If I had to guess, probably similar to the Avatar re-release back in September? Weirdly, a decent amount of Marcus locations are favoring Magic Mike 3 for their theater-branded PLF screens that weekend.

Magic Mike 3 tix 1/23, but in the afternoon? Source says 3pm EST for now, tentative. Titanic re-release tix 1/26. Unlike the Avatar re-release, there will be Thurs previews for this one, they start at 3:00. Hope everyone has another good weekend.

I need to check around, but I don't think there's a date yet. The wait is un-bear-able, I know.

A note about the Regal news: That report about closing theaters is coming from Business Insider, who one of my sources is claiming might have swindled that scoop out from another source on the Regal Unlimited sub-Reddit, and is misreporting these potential closures as certainties. Multiple locations that had leases rejected earlier in the same manner remain open. I even mentioned one either on this forum or on the group chat, Regal E-Walk, which was similarly listed as having its lease rejected before it was re-negotiated. Leases set to be rejected, and even ones that end up reaching rejection, can still be re-negotiated. The BI article even mentions: “The debtors are hopeful that these negotiations will lead to lease concessions and modifications that will obviate the need for rejection"

I don't recall Paramount spending next-to-nothing on promoting Smile, and last I checked they opened it at 3.6k+ locations. If WB is upgrading these titles to theatrical, they have the choice to not bother with upgrading the marketing spend as well (a la House Party), but I think they'll find that they'll be making a mistake with Magic Mike 3, a movie that I and others believe has potential. Very rude and condescending.

While it doesn't seem like it'll be as limited as House Party... it does seem like there was truth to this. Think even a certain banned BOT member has mentioned that WB is turning some theaters down from playing it. A pal of mine has the release projected for ~2k locations, but again that could fluctuate. Should have a ticket sale date very soon.

I did it!!!! I won!!!!

I saw The Devil Conspiracy for the first and likely only time

Maybe scratch the whole “full week” thing for Chosen Finale, seems like there’s only Thu and Fri times for it. Wasted opportunity, hope they expand it out.

A major chain has it at precisely that time for sales to start. There's always the possibility other chains do something else, but I think this is pretty locked-in, especially since they seem to be devoting halftime to Mandalorian stuff.

Got another source to confirm. Tickets on sale Monday at 8pm EST.

Thanks for the rundown! I'll then have to assume Sony made a switch-in-plan somewhere, it seems odd for all of those pre-existing circumstances to be in place only for a super-saturated wide release to occur regardless. Obviously theaters get added on week-of all the time, but the mystery movie thing and the theater listings for the 27th were what threw me off.

Any word on if this is accurate? Maybe it's just me, but from a look around, this really doesn't look like a 3k+ theater opener at all. From what I recall, Sony required Regal to limit the mystery movie showing of this to specific markets because of how Sony didn't plan to open it this wide on opening weekend. There's even locations that don't seem to be getting it until the 27th, in fact. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Maybe there was a dramatic shift in the release strategy. Just seems off to me.

By the way, these sneaks will have special "Throwback Pricing" of... $8. So I guess it's a throwback to 2013 or something.

The Chosen will be back in theaters on Feb 3 with “The Chosen: Season Three Finale”, expect good numbers for that. Full week, full day showtimes. Tix on sale tomorrow. The newest Sword Art Online movie also has tickets on sale starting tomorrow.

Should note that my source is not quite 100% on this one, but feels pretty confident, and I have enough trust in them since they've given me all of the dates I've shared on here before, nearly all of which turned out accurate. That said, I'll provide updates if there's any changes, unless Disney definitively says otherwise.

My go-to guy has given me a tentative Ant-Man 3 sale date of 1/16, in the evening.

This is now called Big George Foreman

Infinity Pool should be on sale either tomorrow or Thursday.

Haven't heard a ticket sale date yet. I'll drop it in the Tracking thread if I hear anything before word gets out.

I feel like that gave away a lot, especially if that whole Kang vs. Scott confrontation is indeed the big climax. Maybe it's just me, but I liked these movies more as self-contained, smaller-scale adventures.

If they don't call it M3GAN 2.0, what are they even doing

Up to about 800-950 now, might be over 1k or so by the time Tuesday rolls around.

80 for Brady is on sale Jan 12.
