Okay after further investigation either the 8:30 showing and 11:00 were cancelled or they actually sold out.

 

The 6 news showings just added last night say the same thing. This has happened prior at my theater for Baywatch, Valerian and All Eyes on Me. For Baywatch it was canceled but for Valerian and All Eyes on Me it was sold out. Call the theater to see what is up. I'm doing it today for IT

You should use your free time to go play in the hurricane, it will be fun like that movie twister.

What the fuck is your grudge against me?

Looking around Orlando, AMC is closing Disney Springs (the 4th highest grossing theater in the country) and Universal's theaters on Sunday and Monday. The Altamonte Mall AMC still has showtimes up, but I imagine that'll change soon. Regal hasn't removed any showings yet.

Maybe he still salty about you not being huge on Wonder Woman 

 

Speaking of movies Han isn't a fan of, I know everyone is understandably all aboard the It hype train, but what about Annabelle for this weekend? Reaching 100M DOM depends entirely on how well it tackles It's opening, so I'm curious to know about it.

[WrathOfHan]

lmao, Woodshock is at 0% on RT. A24 is not having a good year at ALL. Hopefully things pick up for them with Disaster Artist/Lady Bird/Florida Project

I think Annabelle will have a high-40s drop thanks to It double features. It probably could have been sub-45% without the storm

Yeah, just saw your post about the AMC theater going down. Bad timing about the hurricane (and apparently you're gonna take some brunt of it, so good luck mate), but at least this gives the OW some backloadedness and it should have a strong hold next week.

 

On a good note for Annabelle, it's currently outpacing Sausage Party, and that dropped 55% on the post Labor Day-weekend. A:C's 3-day hold was actually stronger than SP's 4-day for the Labor Day run. If It double features really come to help, a 40's drop, high or low in that range, would be fantastic and damn near guarantee a 100M reaching, or close enough where WB would fudge.

IT now at 50% on Movietickets. I'm thinking the positive reviews helped quite a bit to push presales even further.
