After all, DS is still a foreign subtitled r rated anime that released by a small distributor.

This. The pre-sale reports may have been a bit too optimistic at times but without them, I would have said that 5M OW are too optimistic . Especially with still limited capacity and without Canada.

DS's Audience Score at RT is still 99% and 4.9/5. Since hours it has 1000+ Verified Ratings and every few minutes somebody posts a user review. Should also help its legs.

To get the high score and fresh cirtification from the critics is much more difficult.

Since there are no weekend threads, do we get some numbers from insiders and co here?

There are weekend threads again. Didn’t you post in the GvK one a bunch?

We'll likely have a weekend thread this weekend, seeing as how there is stuff to talk about. But in instances where there isn't one, due to lack of interest, we use the Theater Reopening Thread

Around 230PM pacific MK is at 142201/653618 1696085.00(3583 shows) at MTC1 and 135968/550783 1577535.05(3607 shows) at MTC2. Definitely targeting double digit for the day. 

 

DS Friday is at 113359/567885 1444557.00 (3932 shows) at MTC1 and 86357/366239 1160983.75(3140 shows) at MTC2. Friday walk ups look much better than thursday and I think it will finish ahead of thursday number. 

 

No change to projections from yesterday. MK should win the weekend comfortably. Let us see how saturday is doing sometime later. I think DS will increase again tomorrow. Let us wait and see. 

[charlie Jatinder]

Seems like $11M plus for MK and $5.5-5.75M for DS depending on how night shows walk in go.

MK is just unbelievably big. Never thought it will be this big.

No using Keyser numbers for now. I got GvK number a bit later hopefully will get MK too but won't be too sure of them.

I wonder if in your previous version were comparing GVK Wed number, those had higher MTC 1 &2 ratio than Friday. MK has 50 more REGALs open, so ratio will drop even further.

Great increase for MK and good for DS. But DS is still far ahead of MK. I dont see how it can catch up.

Random thought, are they offering both dub and sub? If some capacity is dubbed but most prefer subbed, could make effective capacity lower than it appears — possibly accounting for how the later days look better than affected via spillover.

Yeah I was comparing Wednesday, so ignore what I said. The ratio will be better for sure.

Yeah they are. In Denver, the overall capacity is moreso subbed. Plus, all premium formats are subbed. I don’t think there’s much, if at all, of a spillover effect because of that here and other similar markets. But that could definitely be the case in NY and other larger markets.

Seems DS movie manages to drop 30% or less on Sun from Sat.

MTC2 - 76997/439155 1045769.16 3593 shows(276 Theatres) +13361 // 228 sellouts

 

Really good increase for MK. its down about 26% at MTC1 and 23% at MTC2. Walk ups will be better and so this can be made up. But I am expecting flat Saturday. DS sold fewer tickets today but it still has a lead. MK will overtake it tomorrow but DS will be closer compared to today. I am expecting a 10% increase tomorrow with slightly better walkups.

Spectacular final day of PS for MK and solid for DS whose friday PS is ahead of thursday PS at the same point. Show counts are good for both to have strong walk ups. MK is on par with GVK in MTC1 though behind on MTC2. I think PWP sales will be on par with GVK and so with strong walk ups it could end up having OD > GVK.
