I had some clean up to do as I hadn't updated some of the numbers around showings. I've added Aquaman 2 as a comp, but it's actually not serving as a great comp because of the short sales cycle.

 

Looking at comps, the ones that have been the most stable are probably GxK, HG: BoSS and Romulus.

 

GxK had great walk ups due to Easter weekend and Friday being a holiday, so it's probably overstating. HG: BoSS might have over performed as Joker isn't faring that well. Romulus probably is the best option.

 

I'm really surprised that Beetlejuice seems to be serving as such a poor comp. It didn't feel like it grossly underindexed in my market when it was going through. 

 

The EA shows are actually getting closer to capacity. There's still lots of seats, but for those that like quality seats for an imax showing, the logical move is to wait a few days and watch it Thursday. EA shows are so difficult to predict based on historical, that I wouldn't put any faith in those numbers. It's just data gathering for me at this stage.

 A bit of a slow day. It's expected on the weekend, but if this has any shot at changing it's $6-7M path, it needs to gain pace on comps.

I unfortunately didn’t have enough time to check up on this the past few days. Will post daily updates from now on again.

A bit of a shame I don’t have any useful comps for this yet, but hopefully tracking this will prove to be useful for Venom 3 in October.
