It's definitely picked up steam a tiny bit over the last few days. (Went from selling 3-4 seats a day to double digits)

Excellent day thanks to EA 

Probably helps that there actually advertising the movie now only a week from release

Well, 2nd Cinemark followed the 1st, and added 1/2 screen of showings to get to 18 for Spidey on Friday...no changes for Saturday yet, but I expect them tomorrow...Cinemark misjudged this one...especially being an Atom chain...

Likely due to Sony telling MTCs it was going to do 90M at the point they were building their film schedules, and you'd be surprised how slow theaters often are with added shows. It takes their film buyers to notice shows are at 80%+ capacity and yell at them to add more shows.. It's honestly often a bit sad, where you'd think a GM of a theater would know how to optimize their own schedule.

It’s not just the US guys. Spiderverse is selling like crazy in Canada too, especially west coast presales.

 

Honestly wouldn’t be shocked at all if this thing did 18-20M+ previews. This really is Gen Z’s Incredibles 2 I’m starting to think.

Afternoon (2-4PM) walkups have been insane on the WC. Seriously guys, this is the breakout of the summer.

 

19-21M. This is going over 400M DOM.

It will be quite the juxtaposition if this weekend is the reverse of last weekend, where with Mermaid, the East and Southeast dominated, vs this one where the Southwest and West from top to bottom might dominate.

Removed the Wick 4 and Avatar 2 comps which had only been around for pacing purposes and thus long outlived their usefulness and replaced them with Sonic 2 and Minions 2.  Minions 2 especially for the "blowing up at the end of the pre-sale run" comparisons, even though the ATP for AtSV should be higher due to both demo skew and whatever ATP hikes there have been in the last year.

 

Sacto is still trailing other indicators though, even with this final surge, so Sacto might just be under-performing/an outlier this go around.

Despite a insanely huge amount of walkups, there's no way for me to massage the numbers — it's just not performing like an 18m-20m opener locally.  Even bringing in The Batman, which is one of the more recent-ish films to have a big under-performance locally still didn't quite get it to 18m.

 

Don't want to herd, and I'm already resigned to being under, but I think if I'm being honest Sacramento is pointing to 17.5m +/- .8m.   It's probably aksually pointing to 17m flat, but I'm dragging it up a bit against my better judgement.

 

Can't even really see any rhyme or reason on the under-performance as it's cutting across a few different genres.

Just got out of an Imax showing, theater was pretty damn full. Lots of families, even some in spidey clothes.

17m previews would still be insanely good

And now it's fast and furious - the previous 1st local has now spiked to 19 showings tonight (from the original 12) and 22 tomorrow - not sure I should check the bloodbath on holdovers til the morning b/c some local manager must be just finding every showing of every movie without tickets sold and tossing them aside for Spidey...which will make for some very odd Friday and Saturday schedules...although if both my Cinemarks are doing it, you can imagine the whole chain has put out the word to make room for the Atom ticket buyers and the GA walkups pronto...

 

That said, Mermaid had 25 showings at this local last weekend, so we're almost there (although as the East, this is a good sign if the West is going gangbusters)...

I was 100% expecting this. All the signs are there for a Mario-esque breakout, $150M OW can not be ruled out

With the Memorial Day holiday, perhaps fewer people are in town? Unusual to have a big opener this post-MD weekend - do you recall (if you were tracking back then) if Wonder Woman underperformed in Sacto? Could also just be the lack of T-mobile deal locations, being MTC lighter 

 

Also might want to update the header to Final Report for posterity 😉
