This is a dump. It must be a stinker. Not even 3.000 theaters nowadays means the studio simply doesn't care.

August has always been a dumping ground for certain films.

Hearing Jurassic Park back in theaters in 3D on August 25. Trying to get more info to confirm. If it's wrong, it'll be the second time I've been teased with a possible JP re-release this year!

RT Audience Score is only 66% (worse than the Flash), so I  guess this film has no hope.

 

WB clearly sort of dump it in US.  I had seen more TV spots of Blue Beetle than Meg 2.

Demeter is actually a boat in the original Bram Stoker Dracula book.

Named after the Greek Goddess of the harvest and agriculture.

 

(For folks who are familiar with the legend of Persephone and the pomegranate seeds, she's the mother of said Persephone — and when Persephone has to spend time in Hades, Demeter causes winter to occur)

((Off topic?  Yes.  But educational!!! 👍))

Blue Beetle, T-15, southern Ontario

 

I'm glad I followed up today with a count, as total theatres jumped from 25 to 38, and showtimes from 84 to 129. Clearly yesterday was still in processing of uploading showtimes.

 

Tickets sold today are 75, which is much better than the 16 from yesterday, and also better than the few comps i have like Haunted Mansion over this radius. But, at 2 tickets per theatre on average, still feels pretty low for a comic book film, even a lower tier one.

 

Blue Beetle, T-13, southern Ontario

 

I noticed my local theatre started to perk up on sales, so I did another sweep of the region. Ticket sales went from 75 to 142 in the last two days. It gives it a lot more hope than my initial impressions. I think it's taken a few days for people to realize that it was available for sale.

 

At my local theater (Milton, ON), it's at 6 tickets sold, which is

0.375x Flash for $3.6M

0.545x T:ROTB for $4.8M

GT EA sales are looking solid.  It might help that if people don't see it now they have to wait a couple weeks
