Comments 

The only other CBM comp for Morbius is The Batman. Morbius has a much higher PLF ratio which tells me there isn't much overflow so far. The reviews for it are terrible but the "need" to buy immediately is also lower. I'm expecting a previews IM of 6.5 to 7.5. The Contractor has a limited release and almost no marketing, so about 70-80% of Umma or 50% of The Outfit feels right.

No real sign of large amount of walkups, but not crickets, either.  That TSS comp will plummet hard, so looks to be converging around 5.2m to 5.5m.  Maybe a little higher due to audience skew + ticket inflation since last year.  Still, could be much worse, I suppose.

Decent enough walkups, neither terrible nor terrific.  As such, let's say 5.3m +/- .3m.

 

Not much else to say.

Do you think that the announced fall of Morbius will be beneficial to Secrets Of Dumbledore? After all he is an opponent less
powerful than expected (especially in his legs).

I do not see it changing anything for SoD.

 Isn't less strong competition in the cinema one more chance on his side? After all they have an audience there to be entertained. Sorry, maybe I thought wrong.

well it'll definitely help with the teenager/young adult demographic, sonic 2 and the bad guys will be stealing the children/family demographic 

[filmlover]

Morbius has barely coming close to filling even half of the auditoriums around here. Starting to feel more and more like "under Uncharted" is definitely happening at this point.

[Joyous Legion]

If Morbius was strong it would maybe do like 12M on Dumbledore weekend (60 24 12). Now it looks more like 5M or so (40 13 5). 7M difference not really a big deal for Dumbledore when Sonic will be at like 25M.

Are people actually going to enjoy Morbius? I'm seeing it tomorrow night for the meme...

[snarkmachine]

$5m previews should be good for a $40m OW right? Not too bad, all things considered

No. It’s a terrible movie. If people are trying to watch this ironically for a “meme”, they’ll waste about 2 hours of their life

Sonly should promote it, to give a boost to tickets! XD

[ImNotRacistAtAll]

Reading some of those audience reviews on RT...these people thag go watch this soon and post on RT are probably fan boys and shills that will praise everything. 

 

Or maybe they just get entertained easily?
