DL: AMPAS contract to host Oscars at Dolby will now expire in 2028 (their goal has been to host at the museum) Dec 18, 08:56

China just 60+ this weekend total run could be as low as 150 but maybe 200 or 300 {nm} Dec 17, 20:26
3 multiplier gets it to around 400 after 4 weeks.......... {nm} Dec 17, 20:28
Chinese releases are typically hugely frontloaded (Covid situation if it improves could help change that) {nm} Dec 17, 20:34
US + China combined OW below 200 is not what I was expecting. {nm} Dec 17, 21:20
I think traders have forgotten the Xmas mega multiplier effect here. {nm} Dec 17, 21:27
how big is New Year's usually for moviegoing? {nm} Dec 18, 00:28
The week between Christmas Day and New Year's (and probably Jan 2) are like Saturdays every day. (Normally) Dec 18, 04:22
Just checked SPID8 Dec 18, 04:34
STAR8 and STAR9 are in line with your SPID8 mult, but Rogue One was 3.08, which would put 400-450 as a ceiling. {nm} Dec 18, 05:32
WSJ: Behind the Disney Coup (if you aren't sick of Chapek ousting coverage, have at it) Dec 17, 15:06

Empire of Light is pretty much DOA. Made $71k in 436 theaters, probably will end up with ~$500 per theater for weekend. Dec 17, 11:59
Under 2M cashout? {nm} Dec 17, 12:04
Probably too early to say but it's struggling to get to a million before any further expansion. Dec 17, 12:05
How much room to expand EOL with IWDWS, Puss and Babylon coming? {nm} Dec 17, 12:09
TROCK: 100% not true Never followed either account on IG. Dec 17, 09:29

DL: exhibition due to presales see the sequel at the higher range $150M Dec 17, 08:42
41% of all moviegoers are buying tickets day of, meaning a lot of walk-up business. {nm} Dec 17, 08:43
Imax and PLF tickets are driving 32% of Avatar 2‘s ticket sales for Friday/Thursday previews {nm} Dec 17, 08:43
The top 129 theaters for Friday/previews were all over $50K and were all Imax, Dolby or XD PLF {nm} Dec 17, 08:44
I think it's more likely to miss 130 than go over 140. {nm} Dec 17, 10:27
Yikes {nm} Dec 17, 11:05
Solid A!! See it on IMAX !! Dec 17, 08:14
BOG: About 53 million for Avatar 2 trust me bro. Dec 17, 07:51

(For non PLF) {nm} Dec 17, 08:03
BO & TN confirm Dec 17, 08:34
AVAT2 Cinemascore A Dec 16, 22:35
I've been informed that OFAGE is limited on 2/10 and "nationwide" on 2/17 Dec 16, 18:50
It may not. Holidays will help this film to have good leg. {nm} Dec 16, 18:17
Jatinder tweeted 36M for today so 150 seems 10+ to high now (135 I would guess now) {nm} Dec 16, 18:40
100% Avatar 3 gets released right? (joking) Will they cut it down to get more showtimes next time? {nm} Dec 16, 18:42
There are plenty of showtimes now. More PLF is what's needed. {nm} Dec 16, 18:49
PLF? {nm} Dec 16, 18:56
Premium Large Format (IMAX, XD, RPX, 4DX, etc) {nm} Dec 16, 19:03
Ah... I haven't checked the 68th Street IMAX but I assume it's sold out for most of the weekend. {nm} Dec 17, 05:53
The 4 shows on Christmas Day are close to or almost sold out, so I wouldn't expect a drop as big as SPID8 {nm} Dec 17, 11:54
From 9 hours at present? They better not. A screensaver's supposed to run on and on ..and on .. {nm} Dec 16, 19:43
the 9 hour cut is probably for streaming {nm} Dec 16, 22:30
Stream (noun): something that runs on and on .. and on .. {nm} Dec 16, 23:26
JGUNN's DCU will have Batman. So 2 Batmans is okay. Dec 16, 16:18

Dwayne Johnson has unfollowed Warner Bros Discovery and Black Adam Instagram accounts. His dishes are done man. Dec 16, 15:50
Countdown to personal message to fans and James Gunn spin in 3....2....1...... {nm} Dec 16, 15:52
Would be hilarious if either he joins Warhammer or MCU (obviously he is not hurting for projects) {nm} Dec 16, 15:54
Feige doesn’t have any hypothetical character for him right now, does he? {nm} Dec 16, 18:20
Also, the projects he does have don’t look very appealing (to me, at least). {nm} Dec 16, 19:02
No more SuperPets? {nm} Dec 16, 15:56
I am Krypto {nm} Dec 16, 16:03
