This is when Thursday showtimes start for Venom on Sept 30th. Not when tickets go on sale(which I think you’re confusing?). Tickets go on sale tomorrow but idk what time

Fucking hell lmao. At least pretend these are previews and not a full OD, movie studios.

[Legion Again]

It’s only an hour earlier than Venom.   
 

Speaking of, V1 did 10*8. Going an hour earlier and being a sequel should serve to depress IM, but the pandemic has been boosting IMs a little imo. Expecting 6.6-7.4x. So to make top 3 OWs of the year would want to ~repeat the 1st one’s 10M.

5-5.5ish hopefully, since this is the first real weekday it’s not too clear how the PSm will go.

You laugh, but it's probably to give theaters closed on Thursdays a reason to open for the day...and for those open for only 4/7pm shows (like 2 of my 4 tracked theaters now - one Cinemark/one Regal) to make sure they stay open for 10s, too - they can have a big day all day:)...

Eh, Sony has done early previews before. Bad boys and Men in Black were at 4. I think so was Escape room

[Pinacolada]

Wonder if Sony releases a Venom 2 FINAL trailer tomorrow in front of the "tickets on sale now". Would be a good big announcement, but I feel like we would have known by now if they were releasing another trailer

I am expecting/hoping 40-42 for SC next weekend.

It's not summer anymore. The weekend drops will be better but weekdays numbers dip. Its always better judge of legs to look at WEEK numbers and drops. 

 

A film in summer with 50% weekend drops can leg to 3x while in SEP/OCT it will only reach 2.5-2.6x.
