First showing of Dog Days: 12/78. This is.... fine? I'll have comps later

[Biggestgeekever]

I'm still not seeing IMAX showings for The Meg, and it seems that Cinemark locations are keeping Fallout on those screens.

I'll be interested to see if your theater's comps again overperform/end up too high for the weekend (since I think CR indicated $10M more min, right?)...

Yes. The Meg is looking strong for Thursday right now, so we’ll see what happens

[WrathOfHan]

9:45 Dog Days is empty. I’m not at my computer, so I won’t do comps (nobody cares anyways; it’s dog days lmao)

The Meg is having great presales compared to Skyscraper and Equalizer 2. 30M is still on the table.

Klansman is also doing extremely well compared to other comedies. This will probably be a tad more presale based than others, but hitting double digits in under 2k theaters is a remarkable feat.

Slender Man is basically looking at high singles with those sales.

Is the Meg gonna be more along the lines of super troopers or equalizer, I could see it going either way

[Valonqar]

Jason Statham da powah!
