This isn't really the thread for this, but to quickly address it...

No, they do not. Maybe 60% of NWH if they're lucky, and 40% if they aren't. 

[Legion Again]

Yeah, even if moonfall jackass uncharted Nile all jumped ship it’s not like exhibition would be losing that much

[filmlover]

Just looked at the list of IMAX releases and realized that Batman would've had the format to itself for six full weeks before this move so at least this clears up that hole in their schedule.

Yeah those films might as well stay where they are. Omicron is supposed to peak in late January.

I don’t see why Scream wouldn’t win it’s OW from the data so far. I’m gonna start tracking it tomorrow

[TwoMisfits]

Scream is already getting double screened for presales at my locals (with new anime from Japan opening the next 2 weeks b/c there needs to be something)...

 

As long as there's not a blizzard or some crazy NY/CA full theater closures, Scream is going $25M+ on its OW, no matter how good or bad it is...if it's good, it will go higher, b/c there will be a desire for a cold weather activity for high school and college kids to hang out at (on top of all the subscribers to the big 3 buying tickets on the principle of getting their money's worth)...

Hmmm...yeah, I think today was good. All these comps are obviously pretty high, even the Halloween one, but the acceleration is still there and I think 20M+ is a strong possibility.

That seems counter-intuitive. Wouldn't you want this film closer to NWH so it's easier to ride off the coattails of Spider-Mania?

 

I personally don't think so, at least not that close to it as it will have a "too soon" vibe for it. 

 

Who knows though, theaters need to just hang on a little while longer and good things are coming.  March / April / May are stacking up nicely.  

[Legion Again]

I feel like trying to coast off NWH good vibes is almost all that Morbius had going for it, but I guess we'll see. Just need the right half minute post credits to get over 100M.

[filmlover]

February actually doesn't seem that awful in its current state (Moonfall, Death on the Nile, and Uncharted are all locked in for IMAX/PLF screens while Scream is now the only January release getting large screen format play of any kind) but the lack of any surefire bets stings a bit on top of the fact that January is now officially an almost complete dead zone due to a near total lack of new movies period and holiday holdovers that, with the exceptions of Spider-Man and Sing, are playing to mostly empty auditoriums.

People are salivating for more Spidey content though - it's not like this is an Endagme "ok, now it's time to take a breather" kind of situation. The end of NWH threw open the door to a million more possibilities that people want to see

[Tinalera]

Oh hey, just found this new thread LOL Im guessing my post about Ontario Cineplex closing Jan 5 got ported over? Anyway glad I found the thread!

[titanic2187]

Looking forward for Belle release in NA. This could be the biggest hit for GKIDS since weathering with you in early 2020.

I read some members posts about the giant success Redeeming Love will for sure have . The tickets went on sale yesterday (?) and in sum it had today 80 sold tickets with showtimes in 5 of my 7 theaters. The sales are completely uneven. 0 tickets sold (so far) in the AMC Metreon but „Almost Full“ in Michigan. Could be fun to track.
