Seriously, Batman defeating Endgame records? pre-sales or OW ($358M)?

No, not seriously. One man's fantasy

Unless you have Endgame level demand, I think these additional showings do nothing for the weekend other than diluting the FSS a bit.

Cant dilute fss when you're part of fss 😏

Today? Probably $450-500M OW. The presales ratio would be much higher at that number.

[DAJK]

I’m still not feeling much above 120-130 OW

WB is DH2 @ $169.19M and the March is BATB @ $174.75M

As for adjustments, I don't believe in that so I'm not extrapolating your witchcraft. 

I already know unadjusted, useless  
 

Can’t really PTA adjust since NATO hasn’t released any ticket prices since 2019 ( 😡). If we use 2019 adjustment +8.5% (CPI from dec 2019 to dec 2021) it comes out to about 193M for BatB and 212M for DH2. Rank adjust takes DH2 to 357M (LOL) and BatB to 209M, but it gets rather impacted by outliers when you’re talking the very top OWs.

[filmlover]

Marry Me is definitely looking to be in trouble judging by the sales around here. Honestly even without day-and-date I doubt it would've done all that well. The plot was too silly even for a JLo romcom, I guess.

This was taken throughout today so obviously will be higher now.  Definitely won't be able to do this every day, but sales looking really good across the board.  I pulled every show that had reserved seating on Fandango; think I'm missing maybe 20 shows from what I could tell on the official movie site list.  

katniss is our MVP here. Awesome for sure. What this is showing is there is demand across the country and so PS tomorrow should be interesting. I still dont see it come anywhere in the ballpark of NWH but its PS will be lot more backloaded than NWH as more prime time tickets will be available closer to release and it will have a great OW. 

 

NWH OW is NOT the target for this. Unless they filmed few scenes with christian bale to make it another multiverse of bat-madness.

COMPS WILL APPEAR STARTING THURSDAY

Actually down a smidge from an hour or two ago, as people presumably cancel placeholder tickets. 

 

The reason there is only two showings locally instead of the three I mentioned last night is because the local TrueIMAX was originally listed on The Batman website as one of the locations that was gonna show the Fan First Event. It never put up a showtime, however, and tickets never went on sale there. 

 

At some point this morning, that theater location was removed from the official website, so I presume either the deal to show it fell through, or more likely, someone just plugged in all of the IMAX locations in the US and never cross-referenced it with the actual site that were booked to have the early screening.

 

Since there's only two showings, no reason at all to bring in comps.  Will roll in the tickets sold for the Day One Comps once Thursday comes to pass.

 

NB: Tuesday March 1st has no listings at all for the theater in question, so if it ever pops up (unlikely as that might be), I'll make a note of it and add it to the totals.

The local TrueIMAX showed up after all (as I mentioned earlier).  Sold 84/388 tickets which isn't bad at all considering it was after the initial "Fan First" announcement.

 

And now?  The deluge.

WB trying to break that OW record by any means necessary

I disagree. this is to just build the hype with early shows for fans where they willingly pay inflated ticket price to see it couple of days earlier. i dont think couple of million here or there will make a big difference. We have had early Imax shows before like for Bond/Dune etc.

The funny with Batman is, WB changed it from a 5 day to a 3 day here lol. 
 

It was 2nd March for a while, now it’s the 4th again. So it’ll have a true 3 day opening.
