My Hero Academia Denver Friday 802 tickets sold in 7 theaters Demon Slayer comp: 3.15M Only counted the theaters that Demon Slayer released in, and 2 of them don't have showtimes. Also I realize that Demon Slayer isn't a great comp because of the state of theaters at the time. But this was just a rough check and I probably won't look at it again

Did they specifically say Oct 20th somewhere? Oct 6th would be better, but Oct 20th is probably enough room before Marvel’s Nov 3rd slot if they decide to put it there. Edit: Nvm just saw it in the dedicated part 2 thread

Yeah Denver and Megaplex had a really good boost and sustained that. I don’t see how Eternals will come close to the next 4-5 days of BW.

Eternals Megaplex T-10 days Thursday(46 showings): 1313(+87)/15302 in 14 theaters Shang-Chi comp: 13.07M Adjusted Black Widow comp: 7.76M T-11 days Friday(84 showings): 1011(+81)/30902 in 14 theaters Shang-Chi comp: 35.11M Adjusted Black Widow comp: 17.12M T-12 days Saturday(84 showings): 497(+38)/30586 in 14 theaters T-13 days Sunday(69 showings): 118(+6)/23475 in 11 theaters A bit better here, still the pace isn't that encouraging vs BW

Better than the pace over the previous 2 days, but before that it was increasing by 60-70 per day. So no change from that

Black Widow really started to pick up this week, so we'll see if Eternals can match that with the reviews we've seen thus far.

Yeah I think I’d put it at the beginning of October or Thanksgiving

Exactly what I was thinking

Dune Megaplex Saturday(171 showings) 6464(+1860)/45722(+1180) in 15 theaters NTTD comp: 18.17M Friday's NTTD comp went from 17.27M -> 15.87M, so the comp is holding quite a bit better today. Obviously it's not gonna hit 18M today, but it's a 14.5% increase from yesterday's final NTTD comp. Not sure if it'll increase that much nationally, but I'm pretty confident in around a 10% increase like keyser was thinking yesterday.

Helps that there wasn’t a bump post reactions in Denver, but yeah, the pace has been great.

Eternals Megaplex T-13 days Thursday(45 showings): 1136(+78)/15182(+162) in 14 theaters Shang-Chi comp: 14.36M T-14 days Friday(84 showings): 806(+63)/30902(-346) in 14 theaters Shang-Chi comp: 34.98M T-15 days Saturday(84 showings): 404(+28)/30586 in 14 theaters T-16 days Sunday(69 showings): 96(+2)/23475(-173) in 11 theaters

Yeah I’m not sure anyone should have expected pure walkups to do better(sales after the first showings of the day started), but I was hoping for a bit better last few days of presales. That really put the nail in the coffin for something like 45M+

Dune Megaplex Friday(170 showings) 6889(+523)/45490 in 15 theaters NTTD comp: 15.87M It'll should still be stronger here than nationally, so I doubt it'll reach 15M+. Judging by the pace, walkups will be weaker than NTTD. I'm hoping for 13M

NTTD had a 4pm start and wider release

I read an article where Denis explains that. Mild spoilers but I’ll put it in a spoiler tag https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2021-10-21/dune-movie-book-changes-explained-denis-villeneuve? But yeah, some of the scenes with the Harkonnens felt chopped off/strangely cut.

Dune Megaplex Friday(170 showings) 6366(+925)/45490(+486) in 15 theaters NTTD comp: 16.15M Black Widow comp: 19.60M I may have to take back what I said about this being the second biggest opener of the year for Megaplex. NTTD will beat it with this pace. Still gonna be close though

Part A: 1. Will Dune open to more than $35M? 1000 Yes 2. Will Dune Open to more than $50M? 2000 No 3. Will Dune Open to more than $42.5M 3000 Yes 4. Will every day of Dune's 3 day weekend gross more than Ron's Gone Wrong's total weekend gross? 4000 Yes 5. Will Ron's Gone Wrong gross more than $10M? 1000 No 6. Will No Time To Time drop more than 56.9%? 2000 No 7. Will The Last Duel stay above Shang Chi? 3000 Yes 8. Will No Time To Die have a PTA above Venom? 4000 Yes 9 Will No Time To Die's Total gross overtake Free Guy by the end of the Weekend? 1000 No 10. Will Lamb stay in the top 10? 2000 No 11. Will The French Dispatch have a PTA over $12,000? 3000 Yes 12. Will Addam's Family cross %50M by the end of the weekend? 4000 No 13. Will Halloween's weekend be closer to Dune or Venom? 6000 Venom Bonus: 6/13 2000 7/13 4000 8/13 6000 9/13 9000 10/13 12000 11/13 16000 12/13 20,000 13/13 24,000 Part B: The top 3 predictions will score points as follows: Closest: Within 1% - 15,000, Within 2,5% - 12000, Within 5% 9,000, Within 10% - 6000 Outside 10% - 3000 points 2nd Closest: Within 1% - 12,000, Within 2,5% - 10000, Within 5% 7,000, Within 10% - 4000 Outside 10% - 2000 points 3rd Closest: Within 1% - 10,000, Within 2,5% - 8000, Within 5% 5,000, Within 10% - 2000 Outside 10% - 1000 points 1. What will Dune make for its 3 day OW? $43,654,914 2. What will The Last Duel's percentage drop be? 52.42% 3. What will Candyman's PTA be for the 3 day weekend? $258 Part 😄 There will be 6 films to place and points are expanded because traditionally people haven't scored well here: 2. No Time to Die 4. Halloween Kills 6. Addams Family 2 8. Shang-Chi 10. Free Guy 12. Candyman Because I realised bonuses are stupid... 1/6 4,000 2/6 10,000 3/6 18,000 4/6 25,000 5/6 36,000 6/6 - 50,000

And I’ll add, this may be partly due to me finishing up to where the movie stops hours before my showing. So it was all very fresh on my mind even though I tried to leave my expectations from the book at the door.

Really enjoyed it. Wasn’t perfect, but I’ll definitely see it again. It was so amazing in IMAX. Tonight was the most packed showing I’ve been to since TRoS. I agree that the score was a bit much sometimes. There were some parts where I felt like they were jumping around a bit. Sometimes it didn’t feel like a natural ending to a scene and suddenly we cut to a different one. But all in all, it was quite good.
