The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

[WrathOfHan]

Every IMAX seems to be Grinch during the day and Overlord at night this weekend.

[Valonqar]

so Overlord isn't bombing? I want it to do well so that horror winning streak isn't broken but I don't hear much buzz.

Forgot to do an update due to midterms but I have reports for Ralph 2 ticket wise but it looks really good and seems to be close to Coco. Grinch may be later tonight.

I am SHOCKED ASIB is leaving my AMC, especially when THUG and Hunter Killer are still playing. It's still one of the biggest sellers they have right now. Crazy Rich Asians left super early too. Does my AMC have a WB bias? 🤔

Spider's Web and Overlord only have the equivalent showtimes of a single screen dedicated to them, but the majority of shows are on the PLF screens  Some good milking there, AMC. Overlord gets IMAX starting in the late afternoon, and Spider's Web rotates with Grinch in Dolby every show (The Grinch has the prime night show there).

Fede Alvarez is the director of The Girl In The Spider's Web.

It does feel likely that The Girl in the Spider's Web won't even make a fraction of what The Girl in the Dragon Tattoo '11 made at this point. The ship sailed a long time ago.
