94% and certified fresh on RT

 

What a great day!!  

 

It was at 93% for a bit but then a very negative review was deleted.    I've seen grades changed before but never that unless embargo was broken.

The negative review was for Baywatch which was mistakenly added under Wonder Woman. First time I have seen something like that happen.

That seems pretty good for Captain Underpants. I think it's doing at least $30M by virtue of the fanbase and being the first animated kids film in 2 months.

 

I mean, I type that out and I just about convinced myself of $40M.

The biggest issue it is facing is screenspace. Most theaters seem to have it on only one screen. WW getting IMAX and PLF and most of the 2D screens, Pirates holding on to 3D screens and Guardians, Alien and Baywatch still needing a decent number of screens as well. If it overperforms on Friday, I can see Alien and Baywatch being shunted aside to make more space for CU.

CU would be DOA, but it's low-budget enough (I assume) to be okay.

It's outsourced so probably around $60M-$80M budget. And Tele don't get cocky, it ain't over yet.

Storks and Trolls both showed up on Monday but had weeks with no competition. Can't find anything on Smurfs.

Anyone know what day the SS T-Mobile offer went live?

It was Tuesday, all their offers go live only on Tuesday.

Regal Cinemas Unveils Dynamic New Website Developed in Partnership with Atom Tickets
 

Regal Entertainment Group, a leading motion picture exhibitor that owns and operates one of the largest theatre circuits in the United States, reveals a new website developed in partnership with Atom Tickets, the fastest-growing movie ticketing platform in North America. The new REGmovies.com provides a modern, user-friendly experience that allows moviegoers to browse movies, watch trailers, view exclusive movie content and purchase tickets in one place.
 

The visually-driven site features a responsive design that automatically optimizes its view based on screen size. This provides for a cohesive and intelligent user experience on any browser and any screen: desktops, laptops, tablets and mobile devices. The new site also allows users to browse movies, select showtimes and check out without leaving REGmovies.com. This critical update provides a faster, easier and more seamless purchase process to the millions of Regal patrons who buy their movie tickets online. Guests will also enjoy a revamped experience for the industry-leading Regal Crown Club, which rewards its 14-million plus loyal members with box office and concessions perks.

 

Regal tickets will no longer link to Fandango from their website and will go through Atom instead. Tickets can still be bought on Fandango and MT, but everything from Regal will redirect to Atom

I agree, but I with the overall weakness of the marketplace now, theaters will move around screens if CU performs well, as you suggest.

That would point to a significantly lower opening than Suicide Squad for example.
