Did a quick check of Ghostbusters Frozen Empire in Denver and Alamo Drafthouse. Denver Thursday 525/19404 1.535x GB Afterlife T-13 (6.91M) Drafthouse Thursday 2409/20889 1.406x GB Afterlife T-13 (6.33M) Friday 2360/26657 1.653x GB Afterlife T-14 (20.08M) Saturday 2665/28172 2.04x GB Afterlife T-15 (33.52M) Sunday 1426/25015 2.52x GB Afterlife T-16 (27.56M) Has a few more days of presales compared to Afterlife, so it'll be skewed in Frozen Empire's favor. But even when taking that into consideration it's looking pretty good. I think I'll fully track it starting Monday

Watched it again last night, man this scene is so good. It will also be occupying most of my brain space for the foreseeable future

Adjusting Oppenheimer at Emagine based on Thursday performance gives 24.02M. Averaging the adjusted Drafthouse and Emagine comps together gives 22.5M. I'll go with that

I think to the Fremen, it's less of "they are rejecting Muad'Dib as Emperor" and more of "they are rejecting the Messiah as the rightful leader/ruler of mankind (titles and politics aside)."

I mean, Messiah does say that the Fremen fought against allied forces of the Great Houses. Not to mention, the encyclopedia says there were houses that revolted against Paul overthrowing House Corrino.

Oops, thanks. I usually do multiple Drafthouse runs on preview day because of timezone differences, so that's what that was from.

Definitely not trending in the right direction. Drafthouse still has strong numbers, but most comps there dropped as well. Emagine Thursday stayed steady against Oppenheimer, but that's not saying much considering the comp is 8.16M. I'm just gonna ignore Drafthouse for the most part. I'm also gonna ignore most Denver comps and just focus on Oppenheimer, Dune Part 1, and Avatar 2. Only considering other comps for pace purposes. I'll go with 9.3M for Thursday previews only, 11.3M including Sunday EA.

Yes, but not really because of Sunday early access. If you add the sales from early access (73), the jump was really 236 to 478.
