Black Widow first 7 hours comp: 4.30M

 

Solid start to presales. 1.49x Venom's first 6ish hours. Almost half of Shang-Chi's first 17 hours. I'll do another update and Megaplex update later tonight.

At my theater Bond surpassed Venom 2's first day of presales in less than an hour.

Venom 2 trending up, I see.  Seems reasonable from what we've seen from local trackers.

They say +6% for OW, but the range is unchanged from last week 🤷‍♂️

I think tickets for Dune will be on sale soon. The newest BTS featurette said "tickets on sale now".

Solid day. Best since presales began, but also seems to be "compensating" for yesterday's bad day. Hopefully a sign of better trends.

I will post numbers tonight but Bond has started well but not sure it will beat Shang Chi. But I expect it will have better Previews to OW ratio as its not that much fan drive as MCU right now. 

 

That said I am not surprised by Canada being way stronger than Shang Chi. I would expect Canada to be closer to Europe than US. In European markets Bond will crush all the movies released so far and easily win the year. Spidey will do better overall with stronger Asia. Nothing else would come close. 

 

But bond should out open Venom 2 for sure even in domestic. Hype for final Craig bond movie will be there.

Its starting to amp up for sure. Its PS I feel will finish ahead of F9 at this rate. That should guarantee at least 7m previews.

Spoiler

Decent chance I won't even track it, but couldn't resist the instantaneous reaction to this news.

 

[cdsacken]

Oh my God it's finally happening I'm going to my first movie in 2021. 

 

Dear Evan Hansen at Grand Cinema. Vaccines required and masks required. Finally a place my wife will tell tolerate. What's weird is I was like a massive sports junkie through 25 plus but I'm pretty sure I like Broadway even more now. So jacked!

NTTD starting with 6 shows at my local AMC, same as V2, 3 PLF 3 regular, but alot fewer seats. It has one less IMAX and instead has a much smaller auditorium for one 3D show 🤣 It's doing much better than V2 though despite having 400+ less seats.

 

NTTD has sold 127 out of 1118 seats: 5 3D, 95 IMAX, 27 2D. 

 

Comp: 2.49x Venom 2 after first day of presales

           1.33x Venom 2 total sales T-13

 

I have no idea why NTTD is doing so much better than V2 at my theater, but it has quite a few large groups, while V2 is mostly singletons and duos. V2 is still moving very slowly here, sold 4 tickets in the last 24 hours.

Excellent hold especially at MTC2. I think @charlie Jatinder is on the money with his friday number.

Didn't track F9's T-14 day, so it'll pop up on the comps tomorrow. Either way, really good stuff. Especially when it comes to Shang-Chi's comp gaining ground, which never happened until now. Can't wait for this and Bond tomorrow.

For any CBM opening $70M, Yes. But Shang Chi did overindex in Canada. A LOT.

 

So its quite impressive beating Shang Chi there in 24 Hours sales considering Bond demo will be a lot older.

I think this also will see most action close to release considering its audience skew older. 

 

Still here you go

 

No time to Die Previews (T - 20)

MTC2 - 4686/305867 64804.72 1880 shows

 

Not a bad start especially at MTC1 but real action will start late. I think this will open above 60m.

This may not seem amazing when looking at comps (though remember that some of them had more days of presales to generate tickets), but this is actually really strong. By comparison, Venom 2 only saw 229 tickets on its first day of presales, while having far more showtimes. So assuming Venom 2 doesn't beef it, which is looking less and less likely, we have two great weekends ahead of us.
