No. Friday, October 4, 2019 did about $12m more than Friday, October 1, 2021. The is no competition so the occasional blockbusters are
trending up with their opening weekends.
The only weekend in 2021 that beat 2019 was Labor Day because Disney released a major movie instead of the usual Labor Day weekend when nothing big opens.

September 2021 was over $300m lower than September 2019. 366m vs 687m or 53% of 2019

It was missing the Word 'SOME'. 'Some Moviegoers Are Back'. {nm} Oct 02, 11:43
No one is comparing 2021 to prior years because studios either pull their releases and put them on day-n-date. {nm} Oct 02, 12:13
