terrible movie viewing experience from SMH that I must shared, my theater just show POTC5 instead of SMH in SMH showing.
The opening sequence of Disney logo making me confused as I know that even in marvel movies , Disney logo doesn't appear, but why is it a disney logo came out for spiderman?
I was thinking, "Disney nailed it!", then the shot turns to a kid, try to reach out in the bottom of the sea for something, I was like, is it another back story for how peter parker's father? and why was the colour of the frame looked so different from what I saw in SMH trailer? The style just doesn't look legit.
Then here come this line, " Jack Sparrow!!!" I was like, what the fuck? cross-universe elements?? marvel extended cinematic universe???
Then a few of people walked out from room, try to reach out manager or crew to fix this mess up.
At least i saw the opening part of POTC5......
This happened at the theater I work at. I saw Lego Batman in IMAX and La La Land started to play. Luckily I told them and they changed it before Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone flipped each other off. I was secretly hoping it would stay long enough to finish the opening number so I could see it again on the big screen.

Is that Saturday jump for Dory... any good?
Noticed BFG dropped from Friday... that can't be good for a family movie.
Cars 2 had a 20% bump on the same July 2nd Saturday albeit with much smaller numbers and was on its 2nd weekend. Going by that too, Dory will have a strong Sunday hold at the very least. So Around 41-42 for the 3 day.

How come Zootopia is expected to drop 50% on Sunday? That seems like a really harsh drop for mothers day. No other animated comp fell like that which.

That is such a hard drop for Zoo. What the heck happened.
Nothing, that is a normal school-day drop for a kids movie. Jungle Book was down 82.6%

Great for Jungle Book and even pretty good for Zootopia. It was pretty much unfazed despite facing a big family film breaking out!

Zootopia heading for $7.5m and 47% drop.
Batman heading for $8.5-9.5m depending on what Friday is and 59-64% drop.
It looks like Zootopia will be ahead of it next weekend and should finish ahead overall.
Who saw that coming!?

Okay, guys, here's the whole un-varnished story.
CJohn was never banned. We've actually never banned anyone for the (rare) case of posting fake numbers. The closest we came before was when Noctis did a really good job of impersonating Rth -- the outcome from that is that Rth has his own special verified account so no one can ever do it again.
We decided to goof off and have some fun chasing an imaginary "second account" from CJohn, and yes, the upcoming CIVIL WAR inspired us to take sides as mods. If it got to be too much for anyone, we apologize. We were making sure any numbers that got announced were promptly updated in the thread title so that people could stay abreast of that even amidst the nonsense.
None of this was planned from start to finish. It was basically an improv all the way through.
We're going to put the remnants of the trainwreck in a thread in the Speakeasy if anyone who wasn't around wants to see what happened.
In the meantime, JUNGLE BOOK is looking strong today.
That was epic!!!!

RTH confirmed the $25m number.
It's kind of disappointing, to be honest. $80m might be a stretch now.It's not even evening on west coast yet. Even from RTH, it's too early.

Wish we could have a little more for Zoo..
Um, that's a 91% increase. That's great for it! It will finish around 14 million for the weekend. That is down less than 30%. That is great for it! Also, it will very likely enter the list for top 10 6th weekends unadjusted. That is great for it!

You forget that ZOO benefit from the spring holidays. Yes, ZOO is a wonderful movie with huge success. But comparing Monday numbers is just senseless.
I did not forget that, I was noting the situation.

So BVS was beat by Zootopia on it's second Monday of release? Staggering...
No. 'Twas a joke, but Zootopia's 2nd Monday was higher than BvS 2nd Monday it seems.
Also, did anyone else notice that Zootopia's 2nd weekend was $4,000 larger than BvS'?
-
15m pretty much guarantees that BvS doesn't hit 50m. 70%+ drop. That is, if it follows Furious 7.
On the bright side that Zootopia number is great! Looking at 18m or so, about a 25% drop. Top 10 5th weekends ever unadjusted.

I watched BvS today, and I honestly don't know why there's a issue with it to people.. I really liked it.. I never really WATCHED the Justice League cartoon, but did sit through episodes... and Justice League is crazy nuts science fiction stuff.... and this is exactly what this was. It blended in Batmans past pretty well, while sending him into a new adventure. Help me out to understand the issues!
Go read the reviews thread. My personal issues are there. You'll find others too.

Didn't like it.
The first hour and a half was bad except for a few scenes. The action with doomsday at the end was okay but looking back is pretty forgettable (this sucks because I actually like Man of Steel).
Amy Adams was horrible and Wonder Women was pointless and felt like a throwaway. She served no purpose except to beef up the action at the end and build up Justice League. If her role was more ambiguous or she was introduced like Cyborg or Aquaman were I wouldn't have a problem with it.
Affleck was good as Batman, his scenes were the only ones that I had any interest it.
The editing was horrible as well. The movie was way too long and it just felt like it would never end. There were way too many stories trying to be told. It was a jumbled mess that had an overabundance of scenes that abruptly cut to black. The movie was a chore to sit through.

My theater tonight: 635 admissions (3D + 2D). There were 438 last night. 1073 total for opening day.
Comparisons: AoU did 693 admissions for previews and 1314 for Friday. 2007 Total for opening day.
Deadpool: 314 for previews and 957 for the day. 1271 total.
Furious 7: 373 for previews and 1055 for day. 1428 total.
These seem like the most comparable movies I have access to. Big blockbusters released during school and for similar audiences. I'm not sure why BvS is doing poorly at my theater. Maybe the darker tone (as my area has a large family population) or people were particularly effected by the poor reviews in my area. One other possibility is because of the large amount of showtimes at many theaters, they are able to fill demand. Some of the above might have had sellouts at other locations so my theater becomes a backup. I'm not sure if that explains Ultron though as that had many showtimes too (that could just be the more family friendly tone).

Thanks for the info.
Are you in Orange County?
Yes. A slower theater though. The big theater (Irvine Spectrum) is likely where a lot of business went as they have larger theaters, screens, and true IMAX. I don't know how that theater did but my manager called another big local theater around 630 or so and they said it was surprisingly slow. If it was at all similar to mine than it picked up a little later in the night. But early on (around 6) seemed all around 'slow'.

I couldn't get exact numbers for BvS (I forgot when I left) but it did about 160 admissions for the 3 6pm showings, and for the 4 9-10pm showtimes it was somewhere between 275 and 325. So a little less than 500 for all 2D and 3D showings. For comparison, AoU did 693 admissions for my theater on Thursday night - that's 3D, 2D, and double feature (only 18 admissions).
Furious 7 did 373 total for Thursday previews.
I don't have the data for MoS.

Isn't that projected Cloverfield Lane weekend above the originals second? Any chance of a purge situation??
2 of its dailies were already ahead of the first. Tuesday and Wednesday.

According to projected crowd reports for Disneyland, next week is the busiest week of the year, so I'm assuming more kids will be on spring break next week. And I'm going to be right smack in the middle of it on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. God help me!
*yes, i'm basing my guess on disneyland projected visitors, but most families travel on spring break, so it would make sense.
You can find the numbers on BOM too. Just look for the Monday (for an animated movie) that is only down 20-ish percent from Sunday. That is usually the day after Easter. That day this year is March 28th. The day after Easter. The Friday of that week will have a weak increase.
The prior Week (March 21st) will see stronger Monday holds and a weaker Friday increase but not as big as Easter week.
I'm sure some schools are out this week but this week should be more normal. Friday should be up about 80-110%, similar to Lorax/Cinderella and some others and have 70-ish percent increase on Saturday.
Some animated movies are hard to compare. Rio, Home, The Croods, How to Train your Dragon all opened on the weekend before Easter. It's rarely on Easter weekend, its on the weekend before. Studio (Fox at least) plans for those 2 weeks of no school.

The biggest Spring Break is the week of Easter. That's when most schools in most districts are out.
March 27th. March 21st and March 28th will be the big Spring Break weeks.

Saturday was not as busy as expected at my theater, management came to the conclusion that Cinco de Mayo and Prom prevented some adults and teenagers from coming to the movies. This may have been the case for many areas if they were similar to mine.
