So about 3/4th of JC and 5/4th of FG at same time. Though due to absence of REGAL, MTC2 ratio will be higher, I expect 35K ish final Friday PS and 120-140K final for $5.5-6.5M Friday. That should lead to $17.5-21.5M.

 

Maybe...it's free day and date on Paramount+, and it could be the type of movie daycares and preschools and MOMS/MOPS Groups "field trip" for while their older sibs are in school...so between the 2 things, Friday could overperform like an HBO Max movie...

For those wondering about a "Paw Patrol" breakout...my local Cinemark set early this evening and only added 2 80 seat showings (1 12pm and 1 6pm) to get it to 6 showings overall for Paw Patrol (vs starting 4 with 100 seats each)...

 

Of the other openers, the only other that got expanded was The Night House (which got an extra 8pm showing for 5 showings)...

 

All others are expectedly single screened and same as presales...

For the record, I can't use Those Who Wish Me Dead as a comp because they never revealed that movie's Friday number. However, Reminiscence is about 70% of Wish Me Dead at the same point in time, which is...yeesh material.

[ThomasNicole]

Warner really didn't move a finger for this movie, it comes out Friday and marketing are subpar in scary levels.

 

This one i think they'll happy that could dump on HBO Max

2.297x of The Suicide Squad T-17 (9.42M)

 

So yeah, this is in line with what everybody else sees. Nothing earth-shattering, but still a very good first day that will ensure the doom and gloom predictions that people wanted to see happen were concerned could happen for this movie is nipped in the bud

Paw Patrol Friday

MTC1 - 9692/182767 103802.24 1215 shows. 

 

Meh. But show counts could go up quite a bit tomorrow. Still NOT expecting a big OW based on MTC1. 

Quite Ok IMO. 15+ shouldn't be an issue, checked BoP forecast was just 4-9M, so we are clear 

[SpiderByte]

They're doing early previews in IMAX for reminiscence so I guess it get a release there.

[filmlover]

Reminiscence screams Transcendence 2.0. It was actually supposed to open in the same exact mid-April spot as that bomb did before the pandemic happened.

My Black Widow day 1 count was at about 18 hours, about 17 hours for this, so pretty similar times. Most of my counts this week are probably gonna be late, so the comps might be a little janky. But it is what it is.

[charlie Jatinder]

MTC 1 data is very strong compared to what our local trackers have but MTC2 is bit low. One reason of that could be that BW had 50% capacity in MTC1 while SC is 100%.

T-17 days Thursday: 383/16744 in 15 theaters

The Gateway is done with renovations, so all Megaplex theaters are online. I didn't start tracking Black Widow for several more days, so no comps for that

Not great, Not terrible. Black Widow first 3 days were 1736, may be this will be half those by then.

I don’t think it’s fair to compare Shang-Chi with Black Widow. Those BW presales were astounding. Made me believe 100m was certain (and may have been without PA). Since Shang-Chi is a new hero, there isn’t as much as a frontloaded demand. The expectations should be more modest. And the sales trajectory will differ since I imagine Shang-Chi will pick up more steam closer to release

Its perfect candidate. Will keep the expectations in check.
