Spot on @charlie Jatinder!

[grim22]

Really hard to estimate a weekend multiplier because of the 4pm previews start. At that point it is basically a whole extra day.

[John Marston]

Decent. Should reach 40m. Thanksgiving next week guarantees a total of over 100m

[Grebacio]

Reception so far has been really good. 96% Verified Audience score on RT, highly likely it will score an A at CS. It should open with high 40's

Seems like a solid start! 
I’m seeing it on Sunday. 
 

I went to see King Richard this morning. Very good. Sad it’s on HBO Max as it would have been a solid runner for weeks. That said, Warner Bros selling out could be UA’s gain with Gucci arriving next week.

TMobile suckered me in - I bought 3 full price tickets to go with my 3 $4 tickets since my kids all wanted to see this...I'll be watching it Saturday:)...

$4.5M with or without Wednesday shows?

40M is the target.

Could King Richard be our first A+ Cinamascore of the year.

Very likely. It’s crowd pleasing to say the least

I'll admit that the 4PM start time does make things dicey, but I still feel very confident in a 10x multiplier. Even with this being marketed as a fan-driven beast, I don't think this is the kind of film with a big upfront demand.

The 4pm start wasn't across the board either - or my Regal was a rare exception where shows started at 6pm.

I could give a little insight on this, though I don't have any comps for how normal this is.  Out of my sample of 3,047 theaters:

 

2,078 had a 4:00 show

+426 had first show before 5:00

+158 had first show before 6:00

+115 had first show before 7:00

+173 had first show before 8:00

I believe WSS' legs will be better. It does OVER 100M ...i hope

Having seen it last night (and loved it), I can easily see this stay at #1 until Spider-Man: No Way Home.
