    WW is selling very well at my local theater. 4 sellouts in the last couple hours with one being 8:20, 9:30 is 90% full along with 8:50 3D. 10:15 is about 20% full right now and will most likely sell out.

     

    Same here today. 6 Sell Outs (including 1 3D).

     

    No sell outs for The Mummy.

     

    1 for Captain Underpants, 3 for GOTG2 but I think some are in the smallest theaters.

    It baffles me how people choose to put others on ignore :lol: I would never do it for the simple fact that different (and sometimes annoying as hell) opinions make this board so much fun. I mean, without BKB's trolling for example I could never have enjoyed WW's win so much. And seeing how I love movies everyone shits on out of principle, some of the hate and trolling here actually makes my moviegoer life better.:lol: Actually, it is for this very reason that I can't wait to see Alien.

    Why Wonder Woman losing theaters so soon?
    Is it normal to lose this amount going into the 3rd week?

     

    Well, you have no less than FIVE new openers, 4 of them wide, so something has to go (POTC is losing over 1400) and (I think) contractually they can't reduce the number of screens of The Mummy or It Comes at Night, given the weak opening of the former, I'm sure theaters would prefer to dump a few screens of that rather than WW.

    the mummy is an awful movie according to reviews and audience, but i wonder how the hell did suicide squad manage those high numbers being an equally shitty movie...

     

    Well, for one thing, Suicide Squad opened in August and had basically no competition. Mummy is opening up against one of the best reviewed movies of the year, even if it's in its second weekend. Pair that with a Mummy movie that seemingly people didn't want, and it's a recipe for a turkey (domestically anyway).

    I'll put it this way: is the advertising for Mummy demonstrably worse than TMNT2 or the ID4 sequel no one asked for, which were similarly panned by critics and opened to $35M and $41M respectively last June?  

     

    There is enough of built in audience for Cruise/Mummy/"popcorn action" that $30 million is almost assured.   It can get to $40+, and I believe the chances of that happening will improve when the preview gross is reported over $3 million in the morning.  

     

    We'll see. Though ID4 sequel got what it did out of nostalgia for the first. While the 99 Mummy is well regarded, people will see this as yet another reboot.
