I see Hobbs and Shaw repeating. Aside from Scary Stories, which even then is a stream for me, none of the other films seems interesting.

Himmel · 07-31-2019, 03:35 PM

Why couldn't 1-2 of these move up to this weekend? No interest in Hobbs And Shaw or Lion King.

Omegaice · 08-06-2019, 07:51 PM

I voted for Scary Stories to win the BO this weekend but that's because I'm going to see it.

I wouldn't be surprised if Dora does well, possibly H&S again but I don't think so.

Pounder · 08-06-2019, 09:18 PM

Definitely watching Scary Stories

MazeRunner · 08-09-2019, 12:58 AM

Anyone know the runtimes on Scary Stories and Dora without end credits?

Creed · 08-09-2019, 02:43 PM

Dora made $1.25M on Thursday night.

Chaotic · 08-09-2019, 03:14 PM

oof

Cremildo · 08-09-2019, 03:18 PM

Scary Stories did 2.3 million.

They even had early 4pm screenings and yet kids still didn’t show up. Yikes.

The advance seating charts for some of today’s (Friday) screenings looked better though, so maybe it’ll bounce back....slightly.

Yeah, ouch.

It should do a little better this weekend.

Chaotic · 08-09-2019, 05:25 PM

Must’ve been no more than 10 including myself during yesterday’s 4pm. There was maybe 1 child, and the rest were girls in their later teens, or those around my age. One of those teen girls was howling at a particular joke in the film, she was so loud lol.

Chaotic · 08-09-2019, 05:32 PM

Ah, cacklers. Seems to be mostly women.

filmbuffTX · 08-09-2019, 06:25 PM

My 5 pm Dolby Cinema screening only had about 10 people. When that mom and her daughter dressed up as Dora sat down right next to me, I immediately got up and went to my own row.

Unless they are stay at home parents or work different shifts, it’s pretty difficult to get off of work, pick up the kids, and make a 4 or 5 pm weekday movie with rush hour traffic. So I wasn’t expecting a huge crowd. Hopefully the weekend numbers are better. It’s a quality film and based on the likable fun characters I could see them doing a sequel and making this a franchise.

I freaking hate that. I had a couple sit right next to me when I saw Lion King last weekend. There were several empty seats in the row in front of us.

I've complained about that in another thread. Virtually empty theater with assigned seating, on several occasions someone has picked the seat right next to mine. Someone said that the computer might be defaulting to the best seat available. Either way, a lot of people just seem clueless about assigned seating.
