  1. Spidey NWH MTC2 Thu: Seats Sold: 342101/731827 (+8420) $ Sales: 4406117 (+102370) Showtimes: 5368 (+3) Friday: Seats Sold: 262013/901529 (+9874) $ Sales: 3136601 (+110623) Showtimes: 6027 Another very strong day. Seems like Fri has started to accelerate.
  2. That is likely. Will run Sat tomorrow to check on frontloading. Still the Fri/Thu ratio seems like it will be solid.
  3. Well the PTA is higher than Free Guy so far. This seems to be playing in around 240 MTC2 theaters vs 317 for Free Guy, still it's matching the sales.
  4. Lot of variables. I assume MTC1 would be even better but then Free Guy was also MTC1 heavy. But hopefully at least that. FYI Jungle Cruise comp will probably be around 1.2m Thu/5.5m Fri tomorrow, it for sure will be higher than that as JC was very MTC2 heavy. Can take that as the floor but I'm optimistic in beating 20 on the weekend.
  5. Thu: Seats Sold: 2454/125491 (+401) $ Sales: 31577 (+5102) Showtimes: 710 (+3) Fri: Seats Sold: 4730/237662 (+1052) $ Sales: 53647 (+12251) Showtimes: 1283 (+6) Pace for both Thu and Fri is on par with what I had for Free Guy back then, if not a bit higher. Will have an exact comp tomorrow but it's looking like it will land at 80% of FG Thu and higher than FG Fri when I take it.
  6. Let's wait for the run to finish. 1/3 of the shows, depending on where they are from, can be deceptive. Plus from regionals it's nowhere close so why would MTC1 be that high.
  7. MTC2 suggests 20m is possible if MTC1 is very good and walkups are very good. Not sure about walkups but we will see.
  8. I don't think Pikachu makes sense as a comparison here. It had high trailer views but PS was never that high. Here the sales start backed up the trailer views in showing the hype. People are voting with their wallets. In terms of increasing male demos on opening weekends, I think that is mostly Covid related as polling shows men tend to be less cautious about it than women. It's not like MCU movies were ever super female-heavy on OW anyway. Usually it would be a male-heavy OW and then after the full run the demos evened out. That does show the differing behavior around spoilers that you mentioned, but I think there hasn't been any change here relative to previous MCU films. I do agree though that it won't beat Endgame. I posted a while back when NWH broke the trailer view record that Raimi-related nostalgia is at an all-time high among fans and so the Internet and fanbase hype will overindex relative to irl. Here the preview sales are gigantic and not far off Endgame, while Friday sales are still huge but not at the level of Endgame, showing I think that the GA hype, while still really big, doesn't quite match the super rabid anticipation from the Raimi/Spidey fanbase. Christmas and WOM from that sweet T&A will cushion the legs (unless Omicron chops them off) but it will still be frontloaded for a Christmas release I think.
  9. Rand gets a really great arc. It's just a long-term thing over the whole series. He has to start off somewhat like this for it to carry weight. Though one of his central conflicts in book 1 has been left out of the show (so far), which probably makes the "generic" feel of his character a lot worse.
  10. Btw sales are a lot more frontloaded than Endgame per my data. Like the Fri/Th ratio in tickets was 1.3 for EG the Sat before release, for NWH maybe ~0.8.
  11. Yeah I didn't mean that for NWH. This one will be frontloaded as the spoiler fear is huge.
  12. It was a finale which tends to be frontloaded plus the spoilerphobia for Endgame was massive, everyone interested rushed to see it as quickly as possible. Superhero movies are perfectly capable of legging well.
  13. Spidey NWH MTC2 Thursday: Seats Sold: 333681/731825 (+8179) $ Sales: 4303747 (+100674) Showtimes: 5365 (+4) Friday: Seats Sold: 252139/901481 (+8764) $ Sales: 3026978 (+87977) Showtimes: 6027 (+9)
  14. I'm waiting to see the pace for comps. Right now thinking 10-15m OW?
  15. West Side Story MTC2 Thursday Seats Sold: 2053/124763 $ Sales: 26475 Showtimes: 707 Friday: Seats Sold: 3678/236186 $ Sales: 41396 Showtimes: 1277 Over 80 theaters haven't even put the tickets on sale...
  16. This would be an issue if it was the first film, I think (hope?) that enough people liked Miles/Gwen/Peter B (is he in this?) and others in the first one that selling this on the characters rather than the concept will work.
  17. Scene with Gwen and Miles was hilarious. Probably my most anticipated film of 2022. Seems like they will go with a romantic angle between the two, which I wasn't sure about after the first film but it seems to work really well here, great chemistry.
