Alamo Drafthouse tends to have an older audience, and they probably weren't willing to stay up with the website crashes for NWH so that's likely why the comps are so high. They will come way down at the 24 hour comp

The d2 isn’t very impressive vs NWH d2, but it is also t-29 vs t-16. Batman is a bit closer in length but it will be a bit hard to work with from now until we get near the final week.

Weak excuse. Time to face reality: Doctor Strange under Morbius OW.

Tbf I also feel it’s a kind of weak excuse. Concerned about missing Ultron. We’re in the flopgame now.

Yes. If only Ultron would come back to save Doctor Strange. @charlie Jatinder would certainly agree here.

[ThomasNicole]

Praying for Everything Everywhere All At Once to make 7.5-8M, seems like it have a shot 

 

Didn't see it yet because there's no release date here, but it would be so nice seeing a breakout for a original movie

I mean NWH also had spillover because of all the crashes.

Mostly resolved by end of day 1 iirc? Anyway that more means inflated d1 comp than deflated d2 comp.    

 

But NWH was really on another level of start, which really affects the final/d2 multi. Arguably a mix weighted toward Batman is more sensible than pure half and half.

Let's wait more than 48 hours to doom n' gloom a film that's a month out. 

[filmlover]

$170M (which I believe will happen) is double what the previous Doctor Strange movie opened to. Anyone who would find themselves disappointed in that number would only have their own personal expectations to blame.

Cinemark and other miscellaneous chains are showing the Harry Potter movies for one showtime only starting with The Sorcerer's Stone yesterday and concluding with Deathly Hallows Part 2 on the 13th. They're not bringing back either of the Fantastic Beasts movies even though the newest one comes out next week (on Labor Day Weekend 2018 they released all the HP movies + plus the first FB movie in Cinemark XD in time to tout the second). Honestly feels like the most telling sign to date that they're aware they have a potential underperformer about to be released.

Sitting down for Sonic 2 and it’s weirdly not busy. Which is strange because the first sonic was very VERY busy at this theatre.

At this rate we could be seeing another mishap like divergent. A series ending that never happened.

We already know where at least some of the characters (like Dumbledore) end up via the HP series, being a prequel and all.

I know you guys pay a lot of attention to stuff like last film did xyz so 2x of that will not be disappointing.

 

It depends on individual film. Dr Strange was simple origin story. DS 2 is an MCU major event with Doctor Strange being one of the if not the biggest superhero in current MCU regime after his appearance in movies after his own origin movie.

 

Now am not saying $170M will be considered disappointing by most but we aren't most people. DS2 is the spiritual sequel to film which opened $260M in December 2021, not $85M in Nov 2016.

[charlie Jatinder]

Also BTW. There is no absolutely no sign yet that it is opening $170M.
