Oh sorry, it's just that showtimes have already been starting to pop-up so I was just wondering

 

Yes, but they're greyed out.  At least on Fandango. Other sites?  Likely one can try to buy tickets only for them not to go through when one actually tries to purchase.

Clay, I’ve told you and everybody else this a million times: audiences are the least demanding they have ever been and only want to watch nostalgic toy commercials. How many times do we have to do this song and dance before this is understood? Honestly.

Come to Portugal, we watch all kinds of movies here. KOTFM and A Haunting in Venice doubled shit like Flash and Transformers here.

Well, compared to other markets Sacramento def looks to be on the hot side.  Sold very well today for the Early Access and even the Tuesday showtimes didn't take much of a hit.  Gonna be curious to see Sunday sales as WOM gets around town/decent chunk of demand burnt off.

 

Aside from that, not many thoughts.  Besides noting that the comps could be (much) better, but watcha gonna do? Continue to think about it.  Maybe.  Is a Q&D after all. 🙂

It's just really weird to act like it's any surprise that Renaissance would beat a subtitled foreign film.

I just don't get it. All the trackers have it around 2, and sales around me look good. To be clear, I believe you, but it sucks.

 

Napoleon is presenting as a subscriber-only skewing movie...GA not onboard at all...yet.  And it's getting late for them to do so...

You might be describing Wish and D+ too. Lots of people could be waiting to watch it for free on D+ if the overall score is still Rotten by release date. It's not looking to be must see for the GA.

 

Disney has been doing a terrible marketing for it, not really selling the weird animation. Bad OW incoming?

Migration tickets on sale per an email fandango just sent me 

[YachtyLogs]

Counted up all of the seats for Migration and Aquaman... Wow that part is the worst lol, might need to figure out how to automate that part of tracking. 

[SpiderByte]

Even aside from the strike, this is the year just everything but Barbenheimer came under tracking. Even Swift didn't hit the October record highs it's earlier tracking indicated.

This is lowkey true af. Most of the major hits of the 2020s have been nostalgic trips. TGM, NWH, Avatar 2, Barbie, Mario. 
 

the main premise to these films are : Hey remember that thing you loved years ago, come watch it on the big screen and recapture those old feelings 

[TwoMisfits]

Back on tracking...

 

For presales, Cinemark is planning to let every movie be this Christmas - and they are not going all in on anything til a movie proves it's worth it (which has seemed to be their strategy since June)...

 

Aquaman only starts with 2 screens (1PLF/1 reg) and Migration starts with 1 at my 14.

And unbelievably, Aquaman starts with 1 screen, as does Migration at my 12.

 

Edit to add: and since I never mentioned them...

 

Wonka - 2 screens at each (1 PLF/1 reg and 2 reg) - so a few more shows than Aquaman

The Color Purple - 1 screen each (1 reg and 1 reg) - so less than Wonka,

Seeing similar things at my tracked theaters. At one of them, Aquaman has one bigger screen and Migration has one smaller screen.

As of noon, still no Aquaman or Migration tickets on sale for Cineplex. But Aquaman is for sale at Landmark Cinemas.
