Although I have to say, I am hoping for a totally apocalyptic Sat. So let’s see.

It's been a while since we had a good one of those

Sounds like it. The Friday-to-Saturday drop for that was legendarily bad.

I wonder if Thurs previews are minimising Saturday drops these days due to WOM spreading earlier to Friday.

Not sure a primarily WOM mechanism makes sense — if you have like 1M Th admits instead of 100k, then it’s true Fri will be more hurt by negative WOM but Sat should also be more hurt.  
 

Pretty confident that higher preview % helps the sat/trFr by deflating the trFr.  Cushioning negative WoM movies sat % relative to olden days, but also boosting positive WoM movies Sat % relative to the olden days.

40M ain't happening.

[Brainbug]

So deadlines (probably alcohol-influenced, like usual) pure guess of a 17M Friday turns out to be pretty much on point?

 

Its true what they say. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

[Grebacio]

Based on RT Verified Score, Audience reception seems underwhelming but not awful. I think it still has a (small) chance of hitting 40M

I am sad this is gonna underwhelm. Even tho it’s apparently not a good movie, i wanted it to do good for the sake of theaters.

spiderman,uncharted,batman and etc have already done that .

[Legion Again]

Morbius final DOM will probably be passed in a single OD in May, June, and July. Theaters don’t need crap like this to survive.

I know, it was a bit of a joke.

 

No Way Home's insane success in particular id argue restored hope for many theaters.

We never had consistency even in 2018-19.

Yeah the DOM box office for most of the 2010s was the story of a few movies breaking out massively and thus safing the year for cinemas since most of the other, low and mid-budget movies earned less and less.
