Just realized now that all 3 movies releasing next weekend have really good reviews. 

Easily shaping up to be the deepest wknd since 2019, with a decent chance of an all 10M+ top 5 with 4 well reviewed and received. And rounding out 6th will be EEAAO with maybe ~5M.

Yea, with the overall feeling of the post covid, not suprised we are going to see a huge push of trailers of anticipated movies over this summer, sort of a kind of "welcome back to movie going" feeling (if that makes any sense).

Northman selling pretty well locally, doubling the other two openers’ sales combined.

 

But then again, I live in a city that treated Green Knight like a legit blockbuster.

Doctor Strange and Multiverse of Madness

Toronto, Ontario

Thurs May 5 (taken April 19)

10 theatres

83 shows

 

Total Sold 6419 (+543)

Total Remaining 14843

Total Seats 21262

No Sellouts

Percentage 30.1 (up from previous 27.5)

 

[el sid]

These were the numbers yesterday (I have better comps on Monday and tomorrow I count again, also Bad Guys):

 

Massive Talent had yesterday 165 sold tickets for Friday with showtimes in all of my 7 theaters. 

Comps (all counted for Friday): The Card Counter (1M OW) had also on Monday 23 sold tickets in 3 theaters (including the big theater in San Francisco).

The Lost City (30.5M OW) had 196 sold tickets on Monday in 7 theaters

and Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard (11.4M OW) had on Wednesday (= 2 days later) 132 sold tickets in 7 theaters.

That's quite good for Massive Talent to my surprise.

 

The Northman had also yesterday 346 sold tickets in 6 theaters for Friday.

Comps: The Green Knight (6.8M OW) had 159 sold tickets in 5 theaters on Monday for Friday (would be vs 340 for The Northman in the same 5 theaters)

and The Last Duel (4.8M OW) had finally = on Thursday 124 sold tickets also in 6 theaters.

Therefor that the AMC in NY is still missing and for a Monday that's very decent for The Northman.

Even though the director may not be everyone's cup of tea I can't imagine that the Northman has less walk-ups than the comps above.

Has anyone else noticed ticket price increases and/or super high variable pricing for Doctor Strange at Regal? I know for Batman they did a flat $1 increase for the variable prices. A regular 2D 7:15PM Doctor Strange showing is $15 now, while Secrets of Dumbledore at 7:15PM today is $13.49. So they're either doing a higher increase for variable pricing, or prices are increasing across the board soon. At least in the Denver area.

Saturday - 82366/986379 1036566.19 6719 shows

 

Saturday data is as of yesterday night. For previews it grew 4500+ about 2 days(minus 6 day hours). Not bad at all but nowhere close to the bump seen in alpha. Still overall numbers are still great and so let us wait until close to release to see where it lands.

Out of curiosity @keysersoze123 what are this week’s openers looking like, in particular The Bad Guys.
