Just based on my theatre alone, CAPA3 should shatter BvS's OW, but that 25M Thursday number seems stupidly low. -- nm*

Anecdotally, I've spoken to two different casual movie goers who are skipping Captain America due to their dislike of Batman vs. Superman. - David May 6, 08:58 22
- We also need to keep in mind that $25 million for Thursday previews is almost 2.5 times what Winter Soldier did. - Inigo May 6, 09:04 4
  - FWIW, I strongly suspect Disney is holding back on that number. -- nm - David May 6, 09:09 3
    - Doesn't make much sense to intentionally have the Thursday number be lower than either Avengers movie. - Inigo May 6, 09:33
    - Why would they? -- nm - spamlet May 6, 09:17 1
      - To control the message. They did this with The Force Awakens, too. - David May 6, 09:21
- That makes me sad, especially as a follow-up to Cap2 which is a high point for most. -- nm - Spawn May 6, 09:02 1
  - Right. Winter Soldier is what every comic book movie should aspire to be. - David May 6, 09:11
- i get this, i have zero desire to see CA, and i know the difference. BvS just finished me off for superheroes. - Andie May 6, 09:01 11
  - you're making a mistake. but I get it. -- nm - Remlik Stark May 6, 10:04
  - I have had superhero fatigue for a while and even skipped BvS. WOM on it killed me the rest of the way for comic movies unless - unbreakable mandy jones May 6, 09:04 8
    - i quit after the first Iron Man -- nm - mr. sassafras jeans May 6, 09:50
    - If you liked Cap2 you will like Cap3. -- nm - Spawn May 6, 09:10 4
      - I liked one but not two. Over long. -- nm - Amanda May 6, 09:30
      - And anybody here who didn't like Cap 2 might as well make out with Putin. - David May 6, 09:11 2
        
        Two words: Three some. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 6, 09:16 1
        
        Two words: Devil's threesome. -- nm - Spawn May 6, 09:25
    - I don't have superhero fatigue, but I skipped BvS because I have shit fatigue. -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 09:06 1
      - eat more fiber. -- nm - groiny May 6, 09:09
  - (i was close to being over it anyway, BvS just was the final straw.) -- nm - Andie May 6, 09:02
- this actually makes perfect sense to me. -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones May 6, 08:59
- That's anti-officer thinking. -- nm - Shaun May 6, 08:59 1
  - yup. "that baseball game was boring as hell so I'm not watching hockey because of that" -- nm* - Beaker May 6, 08:59
yeah, I go to opening nights all the time, this was the busiest one I have been to in quite some time. -- nm - groiny May 6, 08:55 9
- Yeah, even arriving at 9:30 I had to park the farthest away I ever have. -- nm - Spawn May 6, 09:01 6
  - I still panic sold it and shorted the OW. Blech. -- nm - Shaun May 6, 09:04 5
    - The OW is at 203 and the stock at 190. I'm still long the stock but shorted the OW. I think it falls in that range. -- nm - spamlet May 6, 09:09 3
      - I'll take a stand early tomorrow moring on the stock itself. -- nm - Shaun May 6, 09:10 2
        
        FYI we usually get indicative #s at around 4pm Friday now, so it might be worth checking the news (and the price) at that time -- nm - Roger More May 6, 09:15 1
        
        Good call. -- nm - Shaun May 6, 09:44
    - I am all in, too late to change now. -- nm - groiny May 6, 09:06
- Since The Force Awakens? -- nm - Inigo May 6, 08:57
- I showed up 10 mins later to the theatre this time for the 7pm show and there were hundreds of people there. BvS? I was first in line. - Shaun May 6, 08:57
Agreed. Our IMAX was 10:30 and I know they had 11:00 showings as well. Pretty sure they normally cut off showings before that. -- nm - Spawn May 6, 08:55
