Doctor Strange Harkins T-21 Days

 

Normal - 9,140 (+650 in 3 days)

Premium - 6,951 (+373)

 

Total - 16,091 ($204K)

1023 seats sold in 3 days. Nice pace.  Probably not 21K in T-10 days, but 20K may happen. Fine enough.

Thanks @Menor Reborn

 

note for future Jat. you posted this data a day later, so don't be confused seeing date.

This is chugging along at good pace. Last 7 days pace is 4x Black Widow. Good pace. Need to keep it up. Target remains $35M+ preveiws.

 

Thanks @Menor Reborn for providing data.

Both JW3 (4pm) and TG2 (3pm) showtimes are starting to populate on Fandango. 

 

Surprised to see Top Gun 2 showtimes going up already since according to EC they're not supposed to be on sale for a couple more weeks, but there sure seem to be a lot of showtimes being set aside for it.

 

Hard to say for JW3 as not as many theaters have set up anything yet, but I'm sure there's gonna be a ton for it as well.

I'll have to add them to the report tomorrow.

Boss Baby, Jungle Cruise, and Encanto all saw big final bumps on their last day, so things are still a little shaky, but this is still singlehandedly going to be the big kahuna of the new openers. So...I guess that's something.

Seems it was just corrected to $17.3m, a -41% drop.

Ezen must have been hot on the publishing trail because that Sonic figure (and couple of others) were revised within just a minute or two after I spotted the typos.

Shawn is obviously a time traveller. He did the forecast post and found out they are all wrong in 3 days.

 

So he came back and edited the BO Pro post. What he didn't know that Ezen has already made copy of forecasts here and that's why he got caught.

The study also underscored that the 18-34 demographic is the most potent crowd when it comes to moviegoing, as we’ve seen, that group increasing their moviegoing frequency the most next to 35-54, and those over 55.

Which is awesome and shows that young people want to get back out into the world and not stream all day.  

 

I keep telling everyone, and look at the Netflix and CNN+ and many other news lately, that streaming is not the theater killer people thought it would be.
