The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
Menor the Destroyer replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
Interesting if it's starting to accelerate already. Trend does seem there for both Thursday and Friday. Although it seems opposite of Denver lol. -

I have been using just ticket numbers for a while now. I think using proper genre comps will eliminate most of the ATP difference. -

So... after 24 hours Marvel US YouTube: 11.8M Marvel US Twitter: 9.2M Marvel US Facebook: 11M Total: 32M views This movie is a smash, it's beating all the other solo MCU movies and the reception is much better than was on teaser [on YT, the trailer has 95% of likes and just 5% of dislikes]. I hope Marvel drop the overall trailer numbers, i think it could be easily in the 50-60's million views, excellent for a second trailer. @ThomasNicole posted this in the CM trailer 2 thread. So it seems to be somewhat below on YT and Twitter and definitely lower on FB. Still seems quite impressive for characters that have never appeared or been teased. I mean it's not really that far off CM here.

Shang-Chi MTC2 Note: showtime numbers are affected by Cinemark's change in the way they handle DBOX screenings. Sales numbers may also be affected. So don't take the daily pace too seriously yet. Thursday: Showings: 1940 (-114) Seats Sold: 12408/320677 (+2130) Idk. Paw Patrol MTC2 Friday: Showings: 1933 (+32) Seats Sold: 17989/240940 (+4219) It's strong in isolation but this seems to be massively overindexing in MTC2. Edit: Looking at Friday partial numbers, I think there is some effect from the DBOX change. Will investigate more tomorrow. -
After getting over the hype of the ending, I think this is my least favorite of the 3 completed D+ shows and not particularly great overall, though it is entertaining scene-to-scene, the larger arc falls very flat. A lot of the secondary characters (Sylvie, Mobius, Kang, Ravenna, old Loki) were really strong, but the show just really fails its lead. His character arc is clunkily speedrun in the first episode and then he is put into an unconvincing and underdeveloped romance. By the end he has lost much of his unique charm and feels like any random superhero despite the energy that Hiddleston puts into the role. And then the timeline stuff was so unconvincing that it managed to break my suspension of disbelief (which normally is pretty hard to do). Out of all MCU content probably only beats Dark World and Iron Man 2 for me.

I had two issues with the third act of BW, the first being that they were trying to go big but it still felt really mundane and rote (I always want movies to really commit when they decide to go big), and the second (and more important) that the emotional resolutions were either not present or very rushed. My hope for Shang-Chi is that they just lean into that glorious fantasy chaos and throw everything on the screen. As long as the emotional resolutions land that will be good for me.

Shang-Chi MTC2 Thursday: Showings: 2054 (+0) Seats Sold: 10278/326358 (+2570) Friday: Showings: 4281 Seats Sold: 6507/685010 (+1559) Healthy second day, expected given the short PS run and the reactions/premiere. The +/- numbers are from a run which I did around the same time yesterday which I did not post. I forgot to press Enter on my Paw Patrol run, will post the number tomorrow morning. -
A list made by a few people (especially a few critics) likely won't. And I don't really think having different opinions on the relative quality of the series makes the review any more or less valid. Yeah, this will likely be a hit with general audiences -- it's a well-reviewed Marvel movie. We don't need to analyze the list to know that.
