If I'm not mistaken Black Phone actually increased 3%. Jeez, people really starved for horror/suspense.

Wondering how much Disney+ has affected Disney releases and how much it'll affect Love & Thunder. I think it's hurting more than befefiting and has completely killed Lightyear. 

Haven't been able to take a close look to Thor's presales but still looking like a $5M-$6M OD incl previews.

Thor in the MCU. Minimum goal would be Ragnarok times two in gross and over 10M in audience.

 

Rank	Title	Gross (lc)	Audience
13	Thor Ragnarok	$404,176,780	7,962,826
17	Thor: The Dark World	$312,055,821	6,648,712
24	Thor	$229,377,917	4,392,942

 

Trivia: Ragnarok didn't reach #1, blocked by Coco. It is still one of the highest grossing movies never to make it to the top.

I don't know if it is just an impression, but Mexico seems to be on fire and overperforming quite a bit this year. 

[Purple Minion]

After the lockdown and despite the increase on ticket prices, there's definitely an appetite for entertaining movies that appeal to the whole family or are a cinematic experience. Anything too complex or controversial won't have legs (looking at you, Stephen and Buzz). It also helps that the ER has been more or less stable.

 

By the way, just realised Lightyear won't reach 5 million tickets, lost lots of screens. That's even lower than The Good Dinosaur. Yikes.

THOR: LOVE & THUNDER. (T-0 DAYS). 7:00PM PREVIEWS.

Cinépolis Perisur.
2,431 seats sold / 3,970 seats available (61.23%)

 

The Batman - Full OD (T-1 Day) 2,127/6,557 (32.44%) 

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (T-0 Days) 2,867/3,136 (91.42%)

Cinépolis Buenavista

2,177 seats sold / 3,016 seats available (72.18%)

 

The Batman - Full OD (T-1 Day) 2,298/6,616 (34.73%) 

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (T-0 Days) 2,754/2,895 (95.13%)

 

Didn't notice until now that despite a similar runtime; Love & Thunder still got more shows and seats. I still have to see how's Thursday but expecting less frontloadness I expect $40M-$45M from previews; I think despite different purposes The Batman works better: more walk-ups, less fan-rush, weaker on 2nd and 3rd tier cities.

THOR: LOVE & THUNDER. (T-1 DAY). OPENING DAY (WITH AND WITHOUT PREVIEWS)

 

Cinépolis Perisur

Thursday: 843 seats sold / 12,712 seats available (6.63%)

Opening Day: 3,274 seats sold / 16,790 seats available (19.5%)

 

The Batman - Full OD (T-1 Day) 2,127/6,557 (32.44%) 

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (T-1 Day) --- 2,449/6,837 (35.81%) --- 5,316/9,973 (53.3%)
Spiderman: No Way Home (T-3 Days) 8,463/9,156 (92.43%)

 

Cinépolis Buenavista

Thursday: 1,061 seats sold / 7,066 seats available (15.02%)

Opening Day: 3,238 seats sold / 10,082 seats available (32.12%)

 

The Batman - Full OD (T-1 Day) 2,298/6,616 (34.73%) 

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (T-1 Day) --- 3,554/6,714 (52.93%) --- 6,308/9,609 (65.65%)

 

Welp that's a very weak Thursday even considering all circumstances around. Can't find info but is below Dominion's opening Wednesday in several locations beyond these two.

• Multiverse of Madness comp is way off and puts it below $5M which is unlikely because it's not as presale heavy.
• Should be more walk-up heavy than The Batman because otherwise puts it below $5M.
• Surprisingly No Way Home worked well for both Batsy and Strange but still low for this one.

So I guess we're in uncharted territory because below $5M would be pretty underwhelming especially thinking of its front-loadness.

[Carlangonz]

Strong walk-ups for previews. Made up for the shitty final days so we could expect the same for Thu for it to finish in higher end of expectations although seems like MCU ratio previews/opening day is alligning with those of SW/HP.

So higher than Batman but less than Strange 2?

[Carlangonz]

$39M in previews. Eh, within expectations but 3rd tier underperformed big time compared to major cities. Sub-$5M OD is indeed possible but let's go with $5M-$5.5M atm. Opening weekend shall come above $15M but below Dominion.

Billie is now up to Jimbo. Or maybe Wakanda Forever; the last time Hollywood released a title in Fall that depicted aspects of local culture and history and starred a local cast went on to gross $1.1B/$60M

[Purple Minion]

Yowza. We will end up with 4 movies in the 800M lc range.

 

[Carlangonz]

I think Disney+ Law is going to do its thing and mess with it. Rise of Gru will benefit with this at least with families.

[Purple Minion]

Minions 2 total is $16.4M up to Wed, already passed Lightyear in lc.

Should pass Sonic at the end of the weekend. 

$4.5M-$5M OD for Love & Thunder from what I'm seeing.

Can it catch up with DS2. That was very frontloaded if I am not wrong. 

[Purple Minion]

If JW:D could, I think Thor has a chance since there's few competition in the next weeks. But the Disney+ syndrome (as @Carlangonz said) could impact its "mighty" legs.

 

Lightyear is going to end up with less tickets sold than Cars 3 🙃

 

 

[Carlangonz]

So $3.7M which is... Meh. Looking like $240M-$270M ($12M-$13.5M) for the 4-Day which is o/u both Rise of Gru and The Batman. Pretty much on par in admissions with Ragnarok.
