3/3 - 3/5 Weekend Thread | Creed III gets the biggest franchise opening and MGM opening ever with 58.7M. #AintMan drops 61% for 12.5M. Jonathan Majors still getting paid fat stacks

[Lestranger]

This feels a bit underwhelming for Creed. Presales and tracking felt like this would pop off more.

Rotten Tomatoes Verified Audience Scores:

 

Creed III: 96%

Operation Fortune: 100%

 

Note that Operation Fortune has less than 50 ratings. It should drop the farther we get into the day.

It's an excellent number for a Creed movie without Rocky.

I don't think so, the most impressive presales was for FRI, which is a sign of a good IM coming since the audience reception seems great.

 

Previews seems around the expected 5.5 - 6.0M, just on the lower end

MTC does overindex for these urban audience driven movies especially for previews. That said its going to have a backloaded OW for sure. I am seeing around 225K/3.75m in MTC1. I cant see it falling below mid teens(pure friday) with that number. Let us wait and see.

Don't forget 80M $5 ticket codes usable for PLF at MTC 1/2.  It will overindex even more than it normally overindexes...

Not everyone use their codes. If the movie could get 80m tickets sold its breaking all records for sure :-)

 

Plus Atom supports way more than just big MTC.

Probably it is time to give Creed a LOTR-style Oscar reward.

I mean, each year that a Creed movie has come out, I've liked it more than half of the Best Picture nominees  But that ain't gonna happen. Every LOTR had a best picture nomination from what I recall, and I don't think Creed has ever gotten much Oscar love, minus Stallone's nomination.

I think it's both. It looked better at the coasts where most reports came from. I expected "only" 5M (combined) because the presales in other regions were weaker.

 

And yes, the Friday presales, e.g. counted by @keysersoze123, looked very solid.

Oh, no doubt...but for those who redeem, it's gonna mostly be redeemed at MTC 1/2.  Like in my 50 mile radius for Atom, I can only redeem at MTC 1/2 locations...

 

Yes, still haven't decided if I will redeem, but it is very tempting for a $5 Dolby movie, even if I haven't seen the 2nd movie:)...

Demon Slayer is as expected very presales driven. I had hoped OD would get close to 5-6m range but that is not happening. 

 

Really good for Ant-man as well. 

 

Creed is having a great day as expected. 50m+ OW is happening.

Not yet, they're falling down the ladder finally enough that they may not have early #s on Fri anymore.
