Matt Reeves just posted another marketing piece and said it's coming in March 4 

 

Curious if he know WB is thinking about change the date 

 

 

 

 

 

or maybe they're not thinking about it at all

[excel1]

People really acting like WB doesn't need the giant infusion of $600m+ in cash flow?

[AdrianL]

This was also posted on The Batman's ig saying "the hype is real, only in theaters March 4" lol... I think we're good but WB is WB...

Moonfall, counted two hours ago for Thursday, Feb 3:
 

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 116 (4 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 48 (3 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 1 (1 showtime)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 1 (1 showtime)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Centerpoint 11): 6 (1 showtime)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 98 (4 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 200 (4 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 7 theaters: 470.
Up 175% since Wednesday (where it had 171 sold tickets).
 

I have to find better comps over the next days but that number looks quite good now.

Moonfall, counted today at the same time for Friday, Feb 4:
 

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 38 (8 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 7 (4 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 0 (2 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 0 (2 showtimes)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Centerpoint 11): 3 (3 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 34 (6 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 36 (6 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 7 theaters: 118.
Up 62% since Wednesday.

 

First Batman stays and then Moonfall improves . I don't say that it will be a hit but after the modest start that was the first really good day.

The Batman sales will begin 22 days before OD, while NWH began 20 days before OD. 
 

That being said, I’m looking for Batman to do at least 35-40% of NWH 1st 24 hours. Growth (as a percentage) should be better than it was for NWH. Previews final somewhere in the $22-26M range.

The internal multiplier is going to be very janky for this one. No Way Home had a 5.2 IM. If the previews result in at least $20M then $100M might be possible. We'll see.

That's great! Is the presale date typically worldwide as well?

a $100m ow would be disappointing

Yep. Only 10% higher than Venom 2 would not be good, IMO.

I think IM will be around 6 (22-26 x 6).

[excel1]

THE BATMAN $200m opening no doubt lol

[meridan]

The last 4-5 pages were just a bunch of people making stuff up about The Batman and its release date while shitting on WB. A web version of an insane asylum.

I can tell you 1000% that I didn't make any of it up and right up until this morning there was still doubt on the release date.  The WB theatrical distribution won out.  

[Legion Again]

Wow, starting the previews late. Question is whether they go in for matinee pricing blunder or not.

Can happen but that's a lot. 15% of NWH will be big.
