It's pretty typical for theaters to get the showtimes listed early before they go on sale these days, No Way Home did the same thing. Looks like it's starting at 3:00, not unexpected since each screen will only be able to fit 3 shows a day due to the running time.

For some reason, Death on the Nile is sold out here in DOLBY both showtimes 

Not that these would have high presales anyway, but yeah... @EmpireCity any word on Oscar expansions next weekend? MGM should really and finally take Licorice Pizza wide

 

Will Netflix report their Kanye grosses? 

Will Liam Neeson and JLo have some of the worst (wide) openings of their career?

 

NEESON OPENERS UNDER 20M SINCE TAKEN

The Marksman (Jan 2021)- 3.1m

The Honest Thief (Oct 2020)- 3.6m

Cold Pursuit (Feb 2019)- 11m

The Commuter (Jan 2018)- 13.7m

Run All Night (March 2015)- 11m

Walk Among the Tombstones- (Sept 2014)- 12.7m

Next Three Days (Nov 2010)- 6.5m

 

It's probably going under Marksman

 

LOPEZ OPENERS UNDER 20M:

Second Act (Dec 2018)- 6.4m

The Boy Next Door (Jan 2015)- 14.9m

Parker (Jan 2013)- 7m

What To Expect (May 2012)- 10.5m

The Backup Plan (April 2010)- 12.2m

El Cantante (Aug 2007)- 3.2m (542 theaters)

Shall We Dance (Oct 2004)- 11.7m

Jersey Girl (March 2004)- 8.3m

Her rom-coms:

Monster In Law (May 2005)- 23.1m

Maid in Manhattan (Dec 2002)- 18.7m

The Wedding Planner (Jan 2001)- 13.5m

 

Yeah,  I think Marry Me can open under Gigli lol

[filmlover]

It's been clear Universal wasn't expecting much from Marry Me ever since they decided to make it a day-and-date-on-Peacock title after previously announcing it would be one of the "Peacock 45 Days After Theaters" titles. Heck, the marketing has even been really pushing Maluma's presence and downplaying Owen Wilson (even though the latter is the real male lead of the movie and the former is just a supporting role) in an attempt to try and trick younger audiences into seeing a romcom with stars who are AARP eligible.

DC has been previews frontloaded, but Batman has been a lot more previews heavy. I think The Batman can be as high as 42-43%. Thinking $25-30M previews for $63-75M OD as of now. 

 

BvS on a normal Friday would have been 37% ish.

TDKR has a big asterisk on it, the night shows collapsed as news of the massacre spread

[ddddeeee]

The embargo is still up, but a lot of blue ticks seem to be hinting that they liked it.

 

Refusing to get overexcited.

So basically you're thinking it follows the same pattern that NWH took. Gives it an OW somewhere between $140-165M. 

[Tokugennumataka]

I think Cap Marvel numbers with a slightly higher OD and a weaker Sat.

Correct. No massacre and TDKR does a good $90 that day and about $195m for the weekend. 

 

On the other hand, both TDK and TDKR were true "midnights" with far less overall showtimes than modern previews now get.

Yea that was just a terrible weekend all around after that. Obviously the events that occurred were way more important than the box office but it definitely knocked 15-20% off the OW and probably 10% off the DOM total.

EASILY the most disappointing weekend of the 20 years I have followed the box office and film industry closely. TDKR was the most hyped film since Matrix Reloaded. The buzz was beyond deafening for that baby.

Weird comparison considering there were more hyped films than Reloaded in between.

BD made a vague tweet about seeing something that was awesome and much more than he expected.

Excel lives in his own fantasy world we can barely comprehend. Just let him do his weird little thing and he'll tire himself out eventually.
