Out of curiosity, what are the latest showtimes for thursday previews for Infinity War? 

Around me there are two 12:01am showtimes, most theaters right now have the last show starting around 11pm

Lots of midnights.  Latest I've seen showtimes are at 3 am and  3:15am though those are rare. (zoning probably wouldn't allow even if there was demand)

 

Lincoln Center in NYC has a last show at 3 am and on Friday the first show is 6 am - so basically around the clock.

 

AMC Empire 25 has the latest show at 3:15am and has 18 shows that start after midnight.

Godspeed anyone who works at a theater and has to stay up for that.

I wonder if anyone is going to that 34 hour marvel Marathon?

My theater’s late showing is the 10:10PM IMax. They ARE doing seven showings between 7PM and 10PM. So, not open later. Just canceling everything else.

Current latest ones in the Sacto area is 12:30am.

 

If history is any guide, 1am's and 1:15am's will show up once theaters start filling out their schedules.  If this REALLY is replicating a Star Wars movie, even sleepy Sacramento will get a couple of 3am and 3:30am showings at the busiest theater joints in the area.

I just got this weekend's showtimes an hour ago, and I'm obviously not gonna bring any ticket sales up, but while Rampage will be playing, Truth or Dare is MIA. It's especially weird, because my theater has always played films that were above 3,000 theaters. Either this is getting a theater cut, or tracking for this movie is so godawful my theater doesn't even want it.

 

Either way, Truth or Dare looks like it's going to get fucked this weekend.

What's wrong with Rampage ? 3 Tickets in 2 mins 

Feels kinda 6 weeks away from now the way it's selling tickets.

Are you sure it’s not a mistake?

good.  maybe the Derby will be more challenging if tracking Rampage is too hard

You think it will have a big theater cut? Maybe there is too much out right now.

I don't think you understand. My theater has always had films at 3,000+ locations. Even stuff that barely made the mark, like Mountain Between Us, 12 Strong and 15:17 to Paris, made it to my theater. The only logical explanation is that the TC is actually below 3,000, bc even some stuff that was around the 2,800 mark (The Star, The Post) didn't come to my theater, or tracking is really bad, to the point that my theater doesn't think it's worth it. Why would they keep A Wrinkle in Time around for another weekend if they had at least a tiny bit of faith in Truth or Dare?

For AIW, AMC Empire 25 just bumped their Thur night preview showings to 46 up from 30 yesterday - more than two weeks out.  (at a glance it has 3 complete sellouts for Thur, 2 for Friday)

 

In comparison on Thur Preview night - GOTG2 had 24, BP had 18, Thor:R & WW had 16, SM:HC had 15 & JL 13.

Sorry, no.  Star Wars always lands in my too busy to chart time period.

Ah fair enough. So AIW is your biggest comp by far then?

Yes

 

Overall it's sellouts in the NYC area as of Sunday morning were already akin to BP the Wed before previews in NYC though with 87 fewer showings & 9 fewer theaters - also with greater saturation in non sellouts.
