I'm so thankful that my IMAX has stopped doing that.  They did this with TLJ, but since Black Panther's there's been a trend against it.  Infinity War's showings look like:

 

Thursday Night Previews:

2D IMAX - 7:00PM

3D IMAX - 10:10PM

 

Rest of Week 1:

2D IMAX - 12:00PM, 6:30PM, 9:40PM

3D IMAX - 3:15PM

Alita battle angel is shot w/ 3D cameras, so the 3D should/will be good.

 

Its annoying because the sole AMC theater that is near me with leather seat recliners purposely schedules new blockbusters at the most inconvenient times in 2D and gives the best/most popular times to 3D. So, they kind of are forcing you to either choose the shitty old amc thats only .5 mile away from it or choose 3D. Example: through black panthers run on a Friday or Thursday they would show 2D at 12, 4, and then the next showing would be at 10:45pm. The 3D version would be at 7/730 and then sometime around 9. It was so fucking annoying.

 

Now with infinity war, theres a "real imax" at universal studios AMC thats about 7 miles away and the only option is to watch it in IMAX is in 3D. I really wanted to avoid that but my friend really wanted to try Imax, even though we usually do dolby cinemas. I noticed with recent blockbusters they have been offering 2D  IMAX showings, but of course not with this movie. 

 

Seriously, I hate this phrase but they need to stop shoving 3D down our throats. No one likes it and its apparent in sales. Shit.

My AMC is the same goddamn way. For a recent example, RPO only had one 2D showing across two screens in its first week! They tend to force 3D more than any other chain.

I meant comps for ToD?

Comps this early only work if there's a substantial amount of tickets; when there's only a couple, it means nothing.

I need someone to explain to me how parents did not take their children to see this wonderful charming beautiful movie about a bear and the people who's lives he touches and makes better but took them to Peter Sodomizing Mr. McGregor with a Carrot Rabbit instead?

It really isn’t that bad.  I know no one likes to believe me because I’m TOG and all but it’s a fine, entertaining film that kids will like.  Not surprised it became a hit.  Obviously I’m more saddened by Paddington 2 not doing very well though, since it’s better than all but 3 films from last year.

Finding a 2D screening of RPO really was annoying. If they keep this up I'll just start waiting for home video more often.

Technically, yes.  1,685 theaters per my last post.

[Porthos]

Also, not a terrible drop for AWiT all things considered.  Certainly not a Tomorrowland-esque Week 6 drop (1000+ theater drop for most of the week, followed by another 350+ drop on July 2 [Thr]). 

 

Suspect Disney is seeing if they have a legitimate shot at 100m after this weekend before throwing it to the wolves.
