BOR: SHCHI estimated $29.6M on Friday Antibody Sep 04, 08:27

So... if you make a good movie... and you only release it in theaters... it will do really well. Fascinating. TheWeekendWarrior Sep 04, 08:33

No excuse to put ENCNT and ETRNL on D+ now. {nm} Antibody Sep 04, 08:35

I'd usually agree but COVID got really bad last year in Oct/Nov/Dec so the spike we're seeing now may just be the beginning. TheWeekendWarrior Sep 04, 08:42

The question is does the hands off approach of Florida has led to 46,000+ deaths, 2300+ recorded last week work? If it does, then New York Catzan Sep 04, 08:56

CA/NY have largely been hands off since June due to political reasons for their Governors as well... notfabio Sep 04, 14:23

though at the county level LA & SF have been more proactive than Newsom statewide (mask mandate since 7/18 in LACo) cake boss! Sep 04, 16:47

Same with Diblasio. Everyone at my packed IMAX screening of Shang-Chi had to prove they'd been vaccinated and everyone wore a mask. TheWeekendWarrior Sep 05, 12:43

Ok...really DeSantis' approach is not hands off...since he is actively opposing mandates with executive orders. He's pro-virus. ;-) {nm} Catzan Sep 06, 09:13

FASCINATING! Spock Sep 04, 08:44

Or release it when there are no other major movies being released right now? {nm} fourstars Sep 04, 17:30

ERC: Disney estimating $65M-$69M for the 3-day weekend, upwards of $80M-$85M over the 4-days. Antibody Sep 04, 08:39

experiment success {nm} cake boss! Sep 04, 10:00

(will be interesting to see if there is a big disparity between CA/NY and places like FL/TX/MO) probably could have been $100m+ cake boss! Sep 04, 10:11

looks pretty normal {nm} Moviesnob Sep 04, 12:23

how do you think Austin's gonna be in say . . . six weeks? cake boss! Sep 04, 19:10

who knows? We're gonna have to live with this forever so we're getting used to the new normal. {nm} Moviesnob Sep 04, 20:54

We got our boosters this week so that helps us {nm} Moviesnob Sep 04, 20:56

after the pandemic, do you think studios will give more consideration to releasing big movies on Labor Day weekend?...or probably not? {nm} tealfan Sep 04, 18:16

the whole month of August used to be a dumping ground for the dogs but now it’s not so they could cake boss! Sep 04, 18:37

After the pandemic, won't more people be going away for Labor Day instead of staying at home? fourstars Sep 05, 07:56
