BB must be walk-up driven cause MPR always had better PS but BB is beating it with PTA and coming out on top. at least on Friday.

Friday included more than 2m in previews as well so its not completely apples v apples

Will Aquaman increase from true Friday?

Yes if it continues to follow Venom, and also according to Deadline's poorly worded predictions; it should increase from $19 to $22M.

I'm sure there aren't any comps really but is that pretty good for Vice?

[TwoMisfits]

Atom has now posted a BOGO for Holmes and Watson, so what presales there will be will not heavily come from Atom over Fandango...

[WrathOfHan]

As I posted in the weekend thread, most of Vice and Holmes' shows are filled near capacity tomorrow. Would not be surprised if they pick up extra shows

Ummm, aren't most shows filled to capacity tomorrow (or heavily sold), so pulling showings becomes impossible?

 

PS - These movies are not filled at my locals (and 1 isn't even at 1 of my locals), but my locals have pulled a single ME showing for the morning to give another TBD movie...that is literally the only showing at either place that hasn't sold a seat...

[Curtis1986]

Vice and homes are not selling pretty well at the local AMC. I'm pretty sure both is going to disappoint the box office.

[reddevil19]

Curious what kind of TC drop ME will have... I enjoyed the visual aspects of the movie - with better leads and more focus on the robot zombie thing (to actually build on the emotional side of the characters) as opposed to the typical YA save the world plot, I think it would have been a good movie. The basic idea of the moving cities was crazy enough for me to be appealing, but aside from a couple (admittedly great) scenes, this concept was never explored to its full crazy potential. I think it's a very MEH! movie, as opposed to an outright atrocious one, which is why seeing it completely crash like this wasn't initially as entertaining as it might have been. However, at this point, after that second weekend drop... well, let's just say I do want to see how many negative records it can set... 🙈

They can dump some ME or Marwen shows if they want

It's going into 600 next weekend, so it should be at an AMC by then.
