Dec 21-23 Weekend Thread | Sat#'s (Asgard pg 60) - Aqua 21.8, MPR 8.8, BB 7.2, SMSV 6.9, Mule 3.8 | Discuss Pitbull's musical work here

[AdamKendall]

God Damn, those MPR overseas #s are just hideous.

[Valonqar]

There's no too many movies cannibalizing each other. It's Aquaman that's drawing audience and the rest is falling by the wayside cause real interest is only with 1 movie. It's like that both dom and OS. numbers don't lie.

I missed the conversation from yesterday, which is unfortunate cause I had I likely had a lot to add. Funny at some things you all spouted, I would call some of y'all out...but now is not the time.

 

As many of you all have seen, I make sporadic public appearances here, but you guys did me in a while back.

 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I knew BR was the devil incarnate!!

I have to imagine it’s gonna drop some theaters on Tuesday. Theaters must be eager to ditch it because it’s wasting valuable auditorium space.

I agree - I bet on Tuesday that Marwen and Mortal Engines showings that can be dropped will be dropped...and they'll keep just 1 showing until their 2 week contracts are up...

Marwen unfortunately is gonna be keeping its showtimes until the first weekend of January but everywhere is slashing Mortal Engines down to 2 shows at most on Christmas. FWIW it’s the only movie of the 17 my theater is showing on Christmas Day that has sold literally nothing lmao.

That Marwen opening and Mortal Engines drop for Universal.  Yeesh

Yeah, so far the local who booked both has dropped ME to 2 showings starting Dec 25 (and only 1 on Dec 27, since its showing gets pulled for They Shall Not Grow Old), but has kept the full screen for Marwen through Dec 27 (my other local was smart enough to never book Marwen, so they are feeling pretty good, I think:)...I'm not sure Marwen will still have it on Dec 28 though...anything would be better than what that is, even if it's giving Ralph or even Grinch back showings b/c families will show for animated, at least on days off...

 

PS - On Dec 27, that theater is one row from selling out its 4th 1pm for TSNGO...and I looked and Second Act and Marwen have sold nothing at their 1pms...I'm wondering if they try to yank both those 1pms away (they took Grinch, Ralph, ME, and The Mule 1pms so far:)...
