Thanks for tracking. I suggest you post these in Australia thread as that way we can have better access to comps in future.

Hotel Transylvania 4 is opening at plenty of Cinemark theaters on Friday now. I suppose that's one way of taking advantage of zero family competition for a while since the new Pixar movie in a few weeks is headed straight to Disney+.

I somehow didn't add two theaters for the Wednesday showings to the total, so it was undercounted. I fixed it for the last time I counted and today so even though there were 490 tickets sold the past few days, 631 were added to the total.

As much as I'd like to, I probably won't be doing those runs anymore.  They're a bit more complicated and less stable than Alpha, and I just don't have a lot of time to commit to it these days.

Lol, local indie cinema is showing The Batman. First time they're screening a major blockbuster in this cinema since I moved here.

Same thing for me, though granted my local indie also played NTTD and is playing Death on the Nile right now. I saw Worst Person in the World today, and not only did they play The Batman trailer, one of the managers popped up in the middle of the trailer and gave a long-winded explanation about why they were playing the film at their establishment, I guess to avoid making the artsy fartsy folks angry. How it's basically a film noir and is reminiscent of The Big Sleep and Silence of the Lambs, so it fits with what they play.

 

Like dude, just admit it's because you don't have anything else to play for the Spring line-up.  

[filmlover]

Some of the independent theaters near me have been showing some blockbusters throughout the pandemic era that they likely wouldn't have otherwise but I can see the appeal of them playing The Batman. It does, after all, seem more ambitious than the average superhero origin movie even on paper.

Relative to MTC1, MTC2 numbers have been meh. To state the obvious early shows are taking a bite of later days BO at this point.

Based on @ZackM data, I am thinking around low 20's previews including early shows. Let us hope reactions/reviews push it higher. Relative to Alpha MTC2 is underperforming.
