Sony’s Tom Rothman Congratulates Staff On ‘Spider-Man’ Success: “Spidey And Sony Have Struck A Mighty Blow” - Analysts are already talking that it’s bound to be the first $1 billion-grossing movie during the pandemic. Domestically, projections are ranging from $713M-$950M.

Hopefully closer to the higher end , still FANTASTIC.

BREAKING: Cinemas are 100% FULLY CLOSING in Quebec starting tonight at 5 PM

 

(French for those who can read it)

I'm guessing other Provinces will partially follow suit, Ontario for sure.

 

That will hurt domestic prospects. Canada isn't huge but it's still 10% of the domestic BO

 

edit: please don't shoot the messenger

 

Was coming here to say this. I'm in Ontario, and murmurs are abundant that we are not far behind. 

Theatres were packed this weekend, so Canada is still going to contribute somewhat to the total gross, but yeah, the lucrative Christmas period has been cut short. 

Quebec has shut down until *at least* January 10th, but likely longer.

We hit page 100...but at what cost

This is Bob Chapek reaction when he remembers that NWH is a Sony movie...Amy Pascal has saved cinema

Hoping this can beat Endgame but fall short of TFA.

Basically my expectation. I think I put $774M in the our contest. 

[VanillaSkies]

Interesting, Deadline says Canada only accounted for 7% of NWH's opening weekend.

I guess it won't have too big an impact on final total.

 

Quote

Canada, after delivering 7% of Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s $260M domestic opening weekend, will see its Quebec province shut down cinemas in addition to bars and gyms as public health officials look to slow the spread of the Omicron Covid variant.

50% capacity limits really limited the grosses in theaters around Toronto by a lot. 

[XXRDJisDoctorDoom]

So with no capacity limits in Ontario and a 5PM start time for previews, OW would probably be $265-267M instead of this pathetic $260M number....

In the theater at last. Very excited.

Because restrictions already started - usually Canada is about 10%. 10% of a potential $800m is $80m.  Even 7% is 56m.  It's a lot.

Well 13 technically. NWH is considered Sony.

Still 14. NWH is Sony, but it's also Disney. The magic of co production.

And Avatar and Titanic wasn't Disney...

Neither are remotely close to the top 15 OWs either

Good. 

[DAJK]

Just going to throw this out there, my local area’s Monday is running 70% of Sunday so far. We’ll see how walk-ups do later tonight, but it has a shot at reaching 75%.

@charlie Jatinder @EmpireCity How is NWH looking today?
