Who knew in a summer with Indy 5 and Mission Impossible the big attention would be movies about a comedyof a childs toy and a deep serious look at the creating hydrogen bomb. Really excited to see what these numbers end up doing weekend-what a ride.

Found capacity constraints were an issue with the bigger cities up here as well-mainly in that a lot of them werent using IMAX and similar sized screens (no doubt being held up by MI 7 and Indy 5). Suspect Barbie could have had an even bigger number without those capacity limits.

Someone mentioned something about Disney still having screens tied up for Indy still, was seeing a lot of this here, very few Imax/prestige screens. Still this is incredible to see this with a non-tentpole movie. Have to wonder whoever (be it Hasbro or Aqua) not allowing the Barbie girl song in the movie might be seen as a huge missed opportunity.

My own thoughts are that Canada for whatever reason just does its own thing, compared to US (and even compared to neighbouring cities lol)-they just have their own personality, logic just doesnt fit sometimes

Mainly downtown. I could certainly stretch out more into suburban, but I only have so much time in the day these days lol, and not even getting a chance to do every day sadly. I am happy you are covering the suburbs and related, it really helps to give a bigger overall picture of whats going on

Main cities-Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary. Ive fallen off of doing East coast recently, mainly in that they are even more problematic when it comes to getting seats released for presale. I should pick those up again just to see how they are doing. Montreal last I checked only had 2 theatres booking (may have changed) and I think one of those was at 50 percent) But even TO and Van city with more seats they are still doing great numbers.

Laughing at the meme, not your prediction/suggestion. Canada numbers as I have said before are nothing Ive seen for a comedy (in my limited tracking). Its been quite a ride to be sure.

I think for certain cities (like Montreal area) perhaps there is so much content from the summer so far, esp if those films are doing decent (and a certain movie about hydrogen or something), not helping as for them to decide which seats to release for pre-sale. Again though, these numbers for Barbie are just eye opening. And just a reminder, reason why Montreal only has 2 theatres instead of usual 4, its because there are no presales available yet for those theatres. I didnt choose to do just 2, thats all it would give me for montreal. )

Im honestly trying to think of the last non MCU-Disney/Universal tentpole that was doing this well presales in Canada two weeks out.

All I can say with my experience Canada really is its own beast sometimes lol. I think the limitations of how they do presales (based on week to week and advanced Volume estimates), I donèt know short of having a ton more people tracking different regions we could ever get that type of detail.

Just a general glance at Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal-pretty much the same-very limited theatres even offering the presales, and those that are right now not much sales. It is almost a month away, so things can change, but right now pretty muted.
