Where it turns up
Friday, June 16, 2023 Father's Day weekend 2023
In the note
Figure a 3 day in the low 20’s and a 4 day in the mid 20’s. The Blackening - Went 1800 runs and took theaters that leaned into their AA core.
Friday, June 7, 2024 First weekend of June 2024
In the note
Things finally turn around next weekend with Inside Out 2 over Father’s Day, but even some old school Disney Magic should only get us even (or maybe just close) for the same weekend last year when we had The Flash, Elemental and The Blackening bringing in $91 million.
