Feb 29 for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire tix

One Life tix on sale tomorrow.

This might actually just be a green-band version of the trailer that's already out, notice that the website doesn't have the original trailer even rated at all. Still, might be some new alternate jokes/shots to replace the raunchier stuff. Whoops, had to click the drop-down. I still stand by my theory of an additional cut-down trailer for theaters, though. Maybe some sort of promo thing, those often get thrown into these rating sites as well.

Looking like Arthur the King will be on sale Feb 28.

You posted that about an hour too soon! Was a late night drop.

I actually had this exact same issue. Had to leave my first attempt at seeing it because somebody decided to vape and talk over the first half-hour or so. Went to a later showing with only a handful of people who were much better behaved.

DL just said Lisa Frankenstein's Thursday was ~$700k (I also second the thanks for @vafrow, I don't track here but I always appreciate those who go out of their way to post something helpful for others!)

Imaginary tix on sale Feb 20

I would recommend December 13. Similar pre-holiday slot that Wonka opened to successfully, and it'd likely only be going up against the animated LotR movie, which targets a pretty different audience. Karate Kid is probably moving. Only real competition would be the following week with Mufasa/Sonic 3, but one of those is surely vacating. With the holidays, it'd still have a long run regardless.

Important to keep in mind that Sonic 3 is opening on a pre-Xmas weekend. A portion of what its OW would've been had it opened on a normal weekend will be reallocated to the Xmas/New Year holidays, like many family-targeted December openers. I actually agree with @Bob Train, at least regarding the OW. I think solely because of this, it opens under 2, but legs out significantly ahead of 2's domestic and WW totals.

I do agree this is largely the case, but there’s still publicly available numbers on sites like Tribute.ca and, in some cases, the official comScore website’s public weekly rankings that aren’t also over on the aggregates. On another site, I only just today learned the theater count for one of the new wide openers of this week! Perhaps I’m confused why some data is shared over there but not anywhere else (In a stranger case, for instance, Demon Slayer: Swordsmith had a couple weeks worth of data that ended up on the aggregates, but for its later weeks I was only able to find those numbers through Tribute). I guess this is just part of my own personal frustrations. It’s a lot of hunting down numbers rather than everything being in one nice place. 😞

Here's a number for Friday, can't seem to find anything for the full weekend yet. To go off on a little bit of a tangent, it seems way too hard to get US/NA numbers for some of these limited and foreign language titles, end up having to scour through third-party sources and more obscure websites to find anything. I wish smaller distributors would be more proactive in their reporting, but I also wish BOM and The-Numbers would actually post all of the data that goes into ComScore. Jungle Bunch 2, Fighter, Warning 2, etc. are all indie/foreign titles that have weekend estimates available on CS that aren't on those websites.

Think Tenet still holds the record for lowest 3-day wide domestic opening for a $200m+ budgeted production at $9.3m, though obviously that comes with a huge asterisk. This should be second-lowest?

Demon Slayer: To the Hashira Training tix on sale tomorrow

A week-long, PLF-exclusive re-release of the first part of Dune opens Feb 9. Tickets on sale Thursday

"Valentine's Edition" of Anyone But You opens Feb 9

EA went on sale a few hours before I posted, but official public announcements weren’t sent out until around then.

These early shows are on sale now. As mentioned, general sales still start on the 26th.

Looking like no Tuesday previews for both Madame Web and Bob Marley.

I've been corrected on this, should be around an hour and a half earlier than that.

Additional note about Dune 2: There will be IMAX early access shows on Feb 25

Regal and Marcus both have them up now, along with a couple other small chains. AMC is unfortunately behind.

An added notice: this is going on sale in the afternoon rather than the usual morning. Am told it’ll be around 12:30p EST. Also: Drive-Away Dolls on sale Feb 5.

My guy says this might be very late on the 21st, might even be past midnight and into the 22nd on the east coast.

Forgot to mention, Ordinary Angels ended up moving its on-sale date to Jan 24.
