    I encourage people to watch Midnight Special when they can. Fantastic film.

     

    Seconded.  It was well-rounded, there was little that wasn't well-executed and it was fun.

     

    Also first time in a long time I went into a movie knowing nothing aside from having seen a brief teaser a while back and that was rather refreshing.

  2. Caught this today.  It was fun and exceptionally well paced, one of the tighter executed scripts in recent memory off the top of my head.  Hope it gets the chance to go wider than 58 theaters.

    Brilliant thriller that is exciting from beginning to end. Sure, it answers very little questions and most of the questions it does answer come with more questions, but it works in Midnight Special because 1) you can understand the plot and 2) you can understand the characters and their motivations by the end. Man, even that final shot raised a whole bunch of questions. Finally a movie that doesn't explain everything to you...done right.

     

    I know it would ruin it but if they could do a sequel, I'd be interested.

     

    A-

     

    Yes, that's literally what I was thinking throughout and after.

    Imax showings of BvS pulled in $18M at 388 hubs, the large format’s best Easter FSS ever, beating last year’s F7‘s $13.3M. That figure reps 11% of the weekend and a per theater of $46K. PLFs made up 10% of BvS FSS with $17M. Cinemark XD’s auditoriums were tops with $3.6M. Forty-percent of the pic’s opening B.O. was repped by 3D equipped screens. RealD 3D accounted for an estimated $47M of BvS‘s $170M.

     

    52.0% 2D

    27.5% RealD 3D

    10.5% IMAX (2D/3D)

    10.0% PLF

     

    I get ~15.8M tickets sold, which is lower than TDKR's ~19.4M

    The film will debut simultaneously across 30,000 screens in nearly every major foreign territory across 61 markets, including China, and domestic open across roughly 4,242 locations of which 3,500 theaters (85%) will be in 3D, 390 IMAX screens, 470 PLF locations, 150 D-Box theaters and 10 70 mm prints.

     

    Huge potential price boosts.  >1000 premium/large format locations.

  5. Well, a couple days late but better late than never I suppose.  Sorry guys, I simply haven't had the time.

    69% of the sellouts are standard 2D, and 51% of the shows are 2D.  All 6 D-Box options are sold-out or have 1-2 seats remaining.  IMAX looking surprisingly weak.

    Dunno how much time I'll have tomorrow but I definitely won't be able to do a final late night count (I'll be at a 8:00 PM show).  I'll try to wedge in a count a little past mid-day if I can.
