Me waiting for the preview numbers:

 

 

Still hoping for the $100m OW but as long as the biggest pandemic opening I’ll see that as an absolute win.

I'll note you did not specify DOM or WW there. 

 

 

 

Spoiler

The joke is that Deadline is forecasting a 140m+ WW OW for BW...

I find it hard to see it only hitting 75 million unless something really crazy happens. 

 

All I can say is maybe the hybrid release hurts this more than we expected.

I'll never understand why these streamers won't release official numbers, even good numbers. Netflix does on occasion, but they're BS. 

[HouseOfTheSun]

358m Domestic OW.

Whether you personally think they’re too low or not is irrelevant in the bigger picture. The industry write all of the articles and headlines after the film opens and they’ll use the industry tracking as their bar for success and it’ll determine how the performance of the film is perceived. 

Sure, but I don’t care. I’m not talking “will the headlines make it out to be good or bad” I’m talking “how will we, the BOT community, and even more specifically, I Loki’s legions, interpret certain numbers, given what realistic expectations are.”   
 

And anything below 85,737,841 I will take as pretty bad, because that’s way on the low end of where things look like they should go.   
 

I won’t actually meltdown unless it goes below AM&tW numbers I guess, the choice of words in my original post was just hyperbolic to continue a bit with Portos. But I’d be quite disappointed with 85, and reasonably so.

Black Widow Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report Final Count (Thu)

 

	Sellouts	Showings	Seats Sold	Total Seats	Perct Sold
TOTALS	11	151	7593	26072	29.12%

 

 

 

Comp

1.958x of Godzilla vs. Kong's Final Count (19.00M)

1.674x of F9's Final Count (11.89M)

 

Adjusted Comp

0.344x of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker's Final Count (13.77M)

 

The GvK one is tempting, but I'm leaning on the lower-end comps at this point in time. Hoping for the best of course!

Fuck it, I am on the 100M train.

 

That was waaaaaaaay better than it had any right to be. Like, damn fam. It’s so good to have the MCU Thursday showings back.

You know, at least you're a real one for giving us a GIF of the sexiest Chris. And for that I propose a compromise: I take charge on introducing all epic weekend threads from now until...November 4, 2021, a date I completely pulled at random and was not chosen because you would kill me if I made a weekend thread on that date.

[CJohn]

Final prediction:

 

75/190

 

It will do big bucks on Disney+ PA as well and in the end Feige wins.

WOW, the turnaround.   
 

I guess it really is great to be back at the moovies.   
 

My showing is in 50 minutes

I saw the 5pm Cinemark XD showing. Theater was packed naturally. I checked the showtimes for tonight and all dozen showings had strong advance sales. It's absolutely mid-tier MCU for me. Found it very sloppy and all the action was buried by the shakycam. The theater was into it, though. Typical Marvel beats. It picked up in the 3rd act with humor that wasn't out of place and real sense of stakes. I think the audience will appreciate how it's one of the darker MCU movies. Florence Pugh is a standout and David Harbour is comic relief. I don't think it's going under 90m at all
