Where it turns up
Friday, March 10, 2023 Oscar weekend 2023
In the note
The one two punch of Scream and Creed should equal the 2nd weekend of The Batman last year, and with a deeper roster of holdover films this year, this weekend should continue to build the surplus year over year.

We’ll have to see if this improves over the weekend (just like we’ve been seeing lately), but for now it looks like low/mid 30’s. Scream VI - Looks a lot like the drop for the 2nd weekend of Scream, so figure the same -60% drop and a weekend in the high teens. Creed III - Looks down about 40% for a weekend in the mid teens. Champions - Showing some serious playability today, might be down as little as 30% this weekend for a gross in the mid 3’s. Moving On - Went 800 runs and looks like about a $1k psa for a gross of about $800k. Inside - Went 400 runs and looks like a weekend of about $250k. Walk up moviegoers are consumers who go to ’the movies’ instead of a specific movie.
