Recent marketing for The Lost City says that it'll be playing in Dolby Cinema so looks like Batman has PLF screens on lock until then (Morbius the week after that is the next major IMAX release).

 

FWIW, IMAX and XD screens haven't been allocated for that Thr Preview/OW locally. Is getting an RPX screen and a 4DX interestingly enough.

 

(also FWIW, Cinema West is already starting to give some of its "Giant Screens" to TLC, but they don't always upcharge so not the biggest deal in the world).

I remember watching Ghajini for a 500 rupee ticket. Still no idea what I was thinking with that.

500 in 2008 is crazy. Highest I paid was about 800ish (10.5 USD) for No Way Home which was too much for me. Right now the most expensive ticket for Batman is around 1450 (19.19 USD). Highest for NWH was 2600 (34.41 USD) but that was just 1 show with few seats. Average Max was around 1600-1700. 

 

These crazy prices are for IMAX at PVR which is a premium theatre at a premium location. Other IMAXes have more normal pricing around 400-500 range. Unfortunately for me the PVR cinema is the only closest IMAX to me, rest are prohibitively far.

I think could be black ticket and not actual tix. I remember reading 500 tix for 3 Idiots though.

WB haven't got a 100M opener since september 2017 LOL

[ThomasNicole]

$ 150M sounds optimistic but isn´t too far of the $ 130-140M that numbers here suggest, so maybe it can happen with a bit of lucky.

Ehhh, we're talking about 1.5% difference in pure percentages.  Pretty much variance and/or quality of theater location here, I would think.
