1. WuWa lets you farm Echos and fish for mainstats how much you want, (run out of mobs in your world? - jump in friend`s world). So there is reason for you to play, have fun and so one even if you got all done. And it feels great to explore map getting while 5 star Echoes constantly.
   
2. Probability to get good/perfect Echo. So, there are 13 substats. Flat ATK, DEF, HP obviously trash in long run, ATK%, DEF%, HP% - you need one of those depending on scaling, ER - generally always needed, maybe less, maybe more, Basic/Heavy/Skill/Liberattion DMG% - need 1 or 2 depending on character, and CCD - always wanted.
   

1. For RNG with good/bad rolls - its average most times, and it`s fine. Comparing to Genshin/HSR. We need there to 1st: roll mainstat with limited resourses. 2nd - get good substats here (and hit 4 lines instead of 3 if we want *perfect*). THAN ROLL IT to f****ng get substats we want. I`m playing Genshin since release and almost all days I spent resin(mostly for artifacts) and can tell you what is this pain...

1. And, finally, It`s 1.0. We DON`T have info of late game tacet fields drop rates yet, afaik on UL 40 there are 15 tuners, 4 gold echos(I assume 50/50 for 3 cost), and 2-3 gold + 6 purple EXP. I assume later we will have at least 20 tuners, which is 80 a day, aside from what we getting in events/monthly shops etc. Thats fine for me, no?

Conclusion

• Supports do the heavy lifting regardless of which character is being used. (Not limited to this.)
• "Character A is carried by Support Σ" is contextually a point for consideration; not an invalidation of a character's capability to be useful.
• "Low Investment" and "High Investment" have their place in discussions but I think are misused for topics like this. Often they are brought up to write something off rather than consider the weight of impact various degrees of investment change things.
  • e.g. Boothill has a high floor and can be considered low investment while arguing his ceiling is high investment because of how much he gets boosts from character synergies.
  • Both are valid considerations but the first is likely the main one brought up for example.

• e.g. Fu Xuan is valued highly as a sustain in part due to role compression. She mitigates damage, has a minor heal, confers debuff resist, and buffs CR (and CD at E1).
• Getting and investing in her w/ that mindset can thus lead to the disinclination to engage w/ other options regardless of what they provide.

JEE Calculator Design

1. Data Setup:
   
   • Create sheets for different data categories: Main Cutoffs, Advanced Cutoffs, and College-Specific Cutoffs.
2. Input Fields:
   
   • Rank (JEE Main/Advanced)
   • Category (General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, PwD)
   • Preferred College and Branch
3. Calculation Logic:
   
   • Use VLOOKUP or INDEX-MATCH functions to compare the entered rank with the cutoffs.
   • Define thresholds for classification (Guaranteed, Very High, High, Moderately High, Moderate, Hard, Very Hard, Impossible).
4. Output Criteria:
   
   • Based on the comparison, classify the chances as:
     • Guaranteed: Rank within the top 10% of closing rank.
     • Very High: Rank within 20% of closing rank.
     • High: Rank within 30% of closing rank.
     • Moderately High: Rank within 40% of closing rank.
     • Moderate: Rank within 50% of closing rank.
     • Hard: Rank within 60% of closing rank.
     • Very Hard: Rank within 70% of closing rank.
     • Impossible: Rank beyond 70% of closing rank.

Step 1: Planning

1. Define Requirements: Determine what features you need. For this project, you need input fields for rank, category, preferred colleges, and branches, as well as an output section to show admission chances.
2. Technology Stack: Choose the technologies you'll use:
   • Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
   • Backend: Python (Flask/Django) or Node.js
   • Database: SQLite, PostgreSQL, or MySQL

Step 2: Designing

1. Wireframe: Create a wireframe or mockup of your website layout. Tools like Figma, Sketch, or even paper sketches can be used.
2. UI/UX Design: Design the user interface with tools like Adobe XD or Figma, focusing on user experience.

Step 3: Setting Up the Development Environment

1. Install Required Software:
   • Code editor (VSCode, Sublime Text)

Step 5: Backend Development

1. Choose Framework: Use Flask for Python or Express for Node.js.
2. Setup Server: Create routes to handle form submission.
3. Database: Store cutoff data in a database.

Example with Flask

1. Install Flask: bash pip install Flask
   
2. Create App: ```python from flask import Flask, request, rendertemplate, jsonify app = Flask(name_)
   @app.route('/') def index(): return render_template('index.html')
   @app.route('/calculate', methods=['POST']) def calculate(): data = request.json rank = int(data['rank']) category = data['category'] college = data['college'].lower() branch = data['branch'].lower()
   cutoffs = { 'iit bombay': { 'cse': { 'general': 70, 'ews': 20, 'obc': 58, 'sc': 27, 'st': 10 }, 'ee': { 'general': 500, 'ews': 133, 'obc': 388, 'sc': 195, 'st': 90 } }, 'iit delhi': { 'cse': { 'general': 120, 'ews': 34, 'obc': 105, 'sc': 49, 'st': 24 }, 'ee': { 'general': 590, 'ews': 161, 'obc': 456, 'sc': 220, 'st': 74 } } }
   result_text = 'College or Branch not found'
   if cutoffs.get(college) and cutoffs[college].get(branch): cutoff = cutoffs[college][branch][category] if rank <= cutoff: result_text = 'Admission Chance: Guaranteed' elif rank <= cutoff * 1.2: result_text = 'Admission Chance: Very High' elif rank <= cutoff * 1.3: result_text = 'Admission Chance: High' elif rank <= cutoff * 1.4: result_text = 'Admission Chance: Moderately High' elif rank <= cutoff * 1.5: result_text = 'Admission Chance: Moderate' elif rank <= cutoff * 1.6: result_text = 'Admission Chance: Hard' elif rank <= cutoff * 1.7: result_text = 'Admission Chance: Very Hard' else: result_text = 'Admission Chance: Impossible'
   return jsonify({'result': result_text})
   if name == 'main': app.run(debug=True) ```
   
3. Update Form Action: html
   form fields
   
   
4. JavaScript AJAX Request: ```javascript document.getElementById('calculator-form').addEventListener('submit', function(e) { e.preventDefault();
   const rank = document.getElementById('rank').value; const category = document.getElementById('category').value; const college = document.getElementById('college').value.toLowerCase(); const branch = document.getElementById('branch').value.toLowerCase();
   fetch('/calculate', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({ rank, category, college, branch }) }) .then(response => response.json()) .then(data => { document.getElementById('result').innerText = data.result; }); }); ```
   

Step 6: Deploying the Website

1. Choose a Hosting Service: Heroku, AWS, or DigitalOcean.
2. Deploy:
   • Heroku: bash heroku create git push heroku master heroku open

Step 7: Testing and Maintenance

1. Testing: Ensure all features work as expected and handle edge cases.
2. Maintenance: Regularly update the cutoffs and improve the UI/UX.

1. Recall is like zero. We got him yesterday and I’ve been taking him out on his leash to go potty. He won’t poop on the leash so we let him off leash and my husband had to chase him down. He found is way home (hilarious to me because at least he knows I’m his new dog mom? He went one house too far until I called him lol). Do I need to give this more time? I don’t want to go off leash again to be quite honest but my fence is still in progress (fencing in an entire acre), but I don’t want him not pooping because it’s clear he’d rather die than go inside (which I reallyyyyy appreciate because I can’t do not potty trained).
   
2. If I start to ball up a blanket to lay down, he’s trying to hump. Is it too late to get him fixed?
   
3. My husband came home at 4am this AM (from work) and Hudson had a fit. I had to call him off and go get physically get him so he could calm down. My husband is the dog person in our home, he says this is totally normal and in fact he was happy about it because it shows he is def more of a guard dog. My husband then took him outside and was able to show him that he lives here etc, and now all is well. Again, is this problematic? I don’t really know, I’ve not been raised around dogs at all.
   
4. Hudson has a tendency to pretty much drag me across the yard when he’s on leash. He is very strong. He does not do this to my husband so we’re thinking he knows who the alpha is (hint hint it’s not me even though I’m more of security to him because when I leave he whines). I’ve been told how to mitigate this (keep the leash short, stop when he pulls) but again, I’m thinking training would help reinforce this?
   

• June 7 Weekly Unaided Awareness
  
• May 31 Weekly Unaided Awareness
  

• YM! (Marcus is doing $7 matinees for children and seniors all day every day before 4 PM for the summer (May 31).)

• BoxOfficePro (Fathom Events has also announced that select Regal Cinemas will present the films in 4DX on June 22/23/24 for Fellowship/Towers/Return respectively (May 14).)
  
• AnthonyJPHer (Fellowship (605 tickets) on June 8 and June 15 (102 tickets). Towers (490 tickets) on June 9 and June 16 (91 tickets). Return (462 tickets) on June 10 and June 17 (109 tickets). 1,859 tickets total (19.8% growth from last update). 1,557 tickets for the first week (20% growth from last update). 301 tickets for the second week (15% growth from last update). There are at least 4 showings for each of these films that are sold out or are close to selling out. If this had more showtimes I really think double digits could be possible, but alas, this’ll have to do (BTW, the showings did not change from last update.). But regardless, this is doing extremely well. Frontloaded as expected but just goes to show how insane a draw Lord of the Rings still is. I have no current predictions for this but they should all be above 1m (June 8). Theaters must be either extremely confident in this release or they are desperate because they added several showings from my last update. Or it’s possible that there was so much demand that they added more showings. Fellowship (468 tickets, 14 showtimes, 5 theaters) on June 8 and June 15 (97 tickets, 4 showings, 4 theaters). Towers (396 tickets, 13 showtimes, 5 theaters) on June 9 and June 16 (82 tickets, 4 showings, 4 theaters). Return (426 tickets, 10 showtimes, 5 theaters) on June 10 and June 17 (82 tickets, 4 showings, 4 theaters). 1,551 tickets total. 1,290 tickets for the first week (62% growth from last update). 261 tickets for the second week (massive 342% growth from last update). It’s preforming really strong surprisingly. I could see an opening bigger than The Phantom Menace re-release if there are enough theaters and showtimes. (June 4). Fellowship (269 tickets, 6 showtimes, 4 theaters) on June 8 and June 15 (21 tickets, 4 showings, 4 theaters). Towers (243 tickets, 4 theaters) on June 9 and June 16 (22 tickets, 4 showings, 4 theaters). Return (281 tickets, 4 theaters) on June 10 and June 17 (16 tickets, 4 showings, 4 theaters). 852 tickets total. 793 tickets for the first week. 59 tickets for the second week (May 28).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex (Opening Day Average Comps (June 8-10): Fellowship ($8.03M), Towers ($6.99M), and Return ($6.92M). [in response to "The number should be closer to 5 or 4M, walk ups really won’t be that good for a rerelease and there’s no PLF"] Yeah, you're probably right. Looking at these numbers against final 1hr comps would be around 2-2.5m. A lot of places have added additional shows so there is definitely room for growth this week. Currently thinking each of these make around 6m, assuming there are enough shows (June 2).)
  

• NRG (Now tracking for $85M domestic debut (May 30).)
  
• abracadabra1998 (Comp: $9.11M THU. Garfield is a bad comp because EA was still syphoning off a bunch of sales at this point, but all other comps also went up significantly. This also has PLFs, as opposed to comps like Trolls or Garfield. Still think KFP4 is the best comp, but some really good signs here! (June 7). Pulled the numbers today, I have to say that this Inside Out 2 update is making me think good things are in store (June 6). Still mostly following along that Kung Fu Panda 4 ($6.32M) number for now (June 2). Keeps chugging along, comps will start converging soon (May 30).)
  
• AniNate (Finally a little movement here. 23 THU, 52 Fri-Sun (compared to 18 THU and 23 FRI-SUN on May 17) (May 22).)
  
• AnthonyJPHer (Amazing growth for Thursday, it’s really ramping up now, and if it keeps up this acceleration, I think 100m is very much in the discussion at this point. I can see previews being more than 8m at this point. Strong growth for Friday. Not as good as Thursday’s growth but still good strong growth overall. Friday did sell more tickets though. I’m bullish at this point for this movie, so I think, like I mentioned before, 100m is a huge possibility. If walkups are strong and reviews are solid, things are looking bright for this movie. Sales have been very consistent. At the very least we can put sub 80m to bed (June 7). Some growth for THU, not bad but I expect sales to increase steadily as we get closer to release. Presales are good enough to not be a disaster like Garfield, but not big enough to guarantee a 100m opening. I still like what I’m seeing though. My local theater has finally shown some signs of life with this film. 5 tickets sold. Way better than Garfield at the same point. Might not be completely accurate, but looking extremely strong on FRI. 900 tickets for the 5 theaters I track. Maybe even 1,286 tickets if my numbers are accurate. That tells me this is not front loaded whatsoever. Or at the very least not preview heavy (May 27).)
  
• cannastop (Funko Fan event is selling like gangbusters though (despite being at maybe only one chain). Prices aren't that low apparently. Still very limited (June 5).)
  
• charlie Jatinder (Comp: $14.8M THU at MTC2.)
  
• dallas ($11.02M THU comp. This one's doing great in my area. If all goes well, this should pass 90M OW and possible even 100M if the pace accelerates (June 6).)
  
• Flip (2.066x Bad Boys 4 T-6 [11.52M] (only comp) *(June 7). 1.893x Bad Boys 4 T-7 **(June 6). 1.738x Bad Boys 4 T-8 (only comp) (June 5). Fan event for Inside Out 2 (3D AMC showings at 12:00 PM on Sunday, at the majority of AMC theaters near me) is definitely siphoning off some demand from previews: for three showtimes on Sunday the event has 102 seats sold, which is over half the total of previews so far (June 5). Decided to add one more theater but there was good growth in both of the original two (May 27).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex (Comp: $4.43M THU. No great comps for this. The last week and especially final few days will tell everything we need to know (May 31).)
  
• keysersoze123 (There was some catalyst yesterday as pace today was slightly down. This is as of yesterday night. +2 days and few hours plus of data. Its definitely starting to amp up now big time just as I expected (June 7). Sunday Fan Shows at MTC1 are really wide and not cheap either (June 5). I expect presales to accelerate even more this week and of course leading up to final week (June 4). I think upcoming week pace is going to tell the tale. Not too happy with late social media reactions/reviews for this movie. That hinders any chance of early boost (June 2). If you compare this to any animation movies seen recently including Minions, its doing very well. Really good this far out for sure (May 25). Show counts show Plexes are expecting a big OW. I dont remember when we last had a animation movie start with so many shows. I wont count Mario as that was a fan driven movie (May 15).)
  
• Porthos ($10.16M THU. Slight pullback in Sacramento as well, but still a very good day, IMO. Next real tell will be Sunday, as T-4 Saturdays tend to be softer days (for a variety of reasons) (June 8). Pretty much looking for signs like this. See if the momentum continues before we get to the real test next week (June 7). I want to see how it does locally against both Lightyear and Elemental over the next couple of days before really thinking hard about the possibility of $10M. I've been soft-penciling in around 8m-10m for a while now. Only in very soft pencil, though. One thing to remember. Perhaps because of GentleMinions, Minions 2 had an appreciably higher ATP than many similar kids films. Yep. Acceleration underway (June 6). FWIW, no AMCs in my market. [in response to cannastop's comment about Funko] Just means people with Marcus Theaters in their regions likely need to adjust a bit when projecting outwards. There is a Funko event that I am reasonably sure is limited to Marcus TheateMovie Tavern on Saturday. The El Capitan has some sort of event on Friday, but it's the El Capitan and they often have exclusives. Might be something about a different fan event (listed on Fandango), but it might just be the above as I can't find anything else about the so-called "INSIDE OUT 2 - OPENING WEEK FAN EVENT (2024)" on Google except for something at ElCap. FWIW, locally I just have bog-standard showings on FSS with no special events anywhere within 30 miles. Acceleration looks to be starting (June 5). I literally have zero good comps. I generally don't keep track of sub-5m pure kids animated films until right before release. It is too backloaded (or rather NOT frontloaded) for the AtSVs of the world to make much sense. IO2 had a (too) long (by half) pre-sale window which is wrecking a whole bunch of other slightly more plausible comps. If I had a complete track of KFP4, that'd probably help a great deal. As often the case with films that should be very backloaded, won't really know how backloaded they are until the week of release. (will note that IO2 does seem to be picking up a hint of steam right now. Which should bode well for its overall ticket total). Horror is, along side pure kids animation, THE most backloaded genre there is when it comes to pre-sales. ATP for the Nope comp will be wrecked, but the pace should be very instructive. Name recognition for Jordan Peele led to slightly stronger pre-sales for a non-franchise horror installment which should map fairly well with the in-built name recognition of IO2. Is complicated by the fact that Nope had an even longer pre-sale window than IO2, but that might help counterbalance some of the ATP errors. Won't be a good comp at the end but right now it might be one of the better ones, especially to show the insane growth that should be on the table. I don't think it's much of a coincidence that it's one of the few comps I have right now that is pointing to double digit previews (May 30). I don't agree with the undertone of concern when it comes to ticket sales. They seem perfectly fine to me, maybe even somewhat strong. It just isn't selling like a frontloaded CBM/fan driven franchise (even when adjusting for animation). So I suppose it really comes down to how much we think this will still act like a traditional kids animation film when it comes to buying pattern, how much demand has been burnt off, and how many people are still going to buy tickets but see no particular need to buy them early. Which I suppose really can't be answered until we get close to the time when kids animation films typically accelerate. But, I keep looking at the sales in Sacramento and not seeing much cause for concern (May 25).)
  
• Skim Beeble (I don't know if it's just me, but starting June 20th PLF showings for Inside Out 2 are stopping after around 4 PM. Is there possibly a surprise release coming or is it just a scheduling showtime thing from the chains. (This is AMC) (May 29).)
  
• TheFlatLannister (Comp: $12.81M THU Florida and $7.57M THU Orlando Comp. Even though this will overindex in Florida, this is still accelerating at an excellent pace. Super strong final week is incoming (June 7). It's doing phenomenal in Florida at least. Excellent pace these past couple of days. With a strong final push, I don't think a $100M OW is too crazy to ask for (June 6). Thinking $85M OW is about right. Don't see much data as of right now to suggest a number much lower or higher than that (May 31). Excellent pace this far out. Does feel like something big is around the corner (May 27).)
  
• todos (AMC is adding second fan event shows next Sunday @12pm and first shows in some locations that didn’t have fan shows. Weird the second shows are taking place at the same time as the sold out/near sold out shows @12pm (June 7).)
  
• vafrow ($17.8M THU comp. Another good growth day (June 8). A good growth day heading into its final week (June 6). Not much movement. New showtimes were added though (June 5). THU comps are ignored since 2/3 comps (IF and Garfield) are obscenely high ($28M and $124M). Growth remains solid (June 4). Really strong day. I'm not sure what drove it, but it's pulled ahead of KFP4 in sales (June 3). Decent day (June 2). I still have a wide divide between comps. KFP4 just did tremendously well around here, making it a challenging comp to use. Or Garfield and IF being the opposite (June 1). Take the comps with a grain of salt. The low numbers on IF and Garfield really throw things off. Numbers were flat all week before a jump in the last day (May 29). It's starting to grow (May 25).)
  
• YM! (I think the Funko events took away the demand here and the rest is just walkups. [in response to Flip's comment about the SUN fan event siphoning sales] I noticed that too for SE Wisconsin - 250 tickets for the events on Saturday vs 57 tickets total (June 5). SouthEast Wisconsin: At T-9 is showing the momentum I was referring to jumping 50% from the T-12 total of 38 to 57. That’s pretty good for a kids movie but only one theater has been flat. PLF is the preferred format for IO2. With our data so far, thinking around $7-8.5m previews for this one (June 4). Already outdone Garfield minus EA. Ideally I’d like heavy buying to be prevalent next week with some form of buildup this week. Right now, looking at other data on here, put me down for 7-8M previews. At NS using pre-pandemic comparisons, it’s about 22% ahead of Onward’s T-9, 57% ahead of Sonic’s T-9 and 46% of Aladdin’s T-9 (June 1). Using Keysersoze123's earlier MTC1 data, the pace is pretty good. $6.74M average THU comp. The same caveats apply (higher ATP than the other animations due to older skew and PLFs but having lower ATP than TLM as that skews older and likely has more of audience to buy upfront, and Wish being on Discount TUES muddies things up) but the important thing is that pace healthy and gainer ground against its comparisons. Feel like tracking is right on the money of 75-85m OW but could grow stronger if pace continues strong and reviews are strong (May 26). The pace is moving nicely as we have about two and a half weeks left. Think there’s potential for ticket count pace to grow strongly. I have no comparisons but it is at Garfield’s EA-less T-3 ticket sales. Going to probably not say much on preview predictions but my thoughts of an OW in between 75m-100m still stand. Not much to make of things until we get to around 2 weeks for rudimentary guessing and opening week for figuring things out (May 25).)
  

• Pinacolada (Actually sold some around me. It does seem like Focus is giving it kind of a shitty release though. Small screens. Definitely no PLFs, which 20th Century Studios was gonna get it Dolby back when they had it. There's 3 theaters really near me. Only 1 of them has this on sale as of now, though the other 2 theaters may come later? (May 26).)

• abracadabra1998 ($3.7M THU comp. Quite a good start, all of these (imperfect) comps had much larger windows so they should be going up the next couple of updates before it stabilizes (June 2).)
  
• AnthonyJPHer (Alright start to presales, although kind of muted in my opinion. I’m hoping it’ll start picking up the pace soon, but it’s alright. Not much to say here (May 31).)
  
• dallas ($4.24M THU comp. Pretty solid so far. Should open to 30M, possibly 40M if things go well (June 6).)
  
• el sid (Counted on FRI (so after ca. 24 hours) for THU, June 27. Yesterday almost nothing happened sales-wise. Two days ago sold 315 tickets. Comps (always counted for THU): AQP II (4.8M) 402 tickets with 9 days left (Day One already at over 75%) and similar sales in the different regions (Very good sales in LA AMC, quite good ones in NY and pretty muted (which is normal with so many days left) in the heartland. Miami is the exception (Day One with 53 tickets to 26 back then). Scream (3.5M) 325 tickets with 26 days left. Halloween Ends (5.4M) 511 tickets with 10 days left. Nope (6.4M) 837 tickets with 11 days left. Insidious: The Red Door (5M) 260 tickets with 8 days left. Overall that was a quite good start in my theaters (June 2).)
  
• Flip (I also expect AQP Day One to overindex for me since it’s set in NYC where some of my theaters are (June 6). Has a fan event on the same day of previews, PLF only (May 30).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex ($4.84M THU comp.)
  
• Porthos (Took a look locally. Not too bad. Before I tracked DBOX, AQP2 sold 160 tickets at T-22 and AQPD1 sold 166 tickets at T-28. Now I am tracking DBOX seats, which at a glance sold 19 tickets tonight. However three theaters locally converted to having DBOX showings, so some local theaters will have more DBOX sales. In line with D1 of AQP2, more or less. Tickets sold for the 3pm fan event are practically non-existent right now (8 tickets sold). There are so many problems with an AQP2 comp as to make it nearly worthless but promising start (May 31).)
  
• TheFlatLannister ($4.44M THU Comp. Pretty good start, but nothing crazy or outright telling me a big breakout is coming (May 31))
  
• vafrow ($3.8M THU comp. Nothing really noteworthy here (June 8). This went backwards, which is never good. And three days in, I think the initial rush is gone and this stays pretty quiet until we get closer (June 2). Second day didn't go as well (June 1). Not a bad start. I don't have great comps with it starting at a month out (May 31).)
  

• AMC ("Some 200,000 movie fans have bought their AMC tickets already. This is more Day 1 ticket sales at AMC than for any other R-rated movie ever." Insiders tell The Hollywood Reporter that first-day sales are likely around $8 million to $9 million if extrapolating the 200,000 stat cited by Aron (May 22).)
  
• DEADLINE (Already heating up eight weeks before its debut, having already collected some $8M in first day ticket sales. $8M is pretty remarkable for an R-rated movie two months before release. While there are no direct comps on Deadpool & Wolverine ticket sales in post-Covid history, its current cash bests the 24-hour advance ticket sales of The Batman ($6.5M), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 ($6M) and John Wick: Chapter 4 ($1.4M). The Batman and GOTG3 opened to respective 3-day weekends of $134M and $118.4M (May 22).)
  
• FANDANGO (Broke Fandango’s best first-day ticket sales record for 2024. Best first-day pre-seller from the Deadpool franchise (May 21).)
  
• abracadabra1998 ($22.33M Average THU Marvels+Dune2 comp. Just wanted to give a frame of reference for how this is doing (pretty darn good!). Just chuggin along (June 2).)
  
• AniNate (THU sales still largely biased towards primetime evening showings. There may be FOMO but not enough for people to take off work early. Good lord already 80+ THU previews sold for Deadpool at Canton (May 20).)
  
• AnthonyJPHer (Extremely strong growth from OD for THU. We have a monster on our hands here people. Buuut. Let me temper the excitement somewhat. The FRI numbers are good, stronger than Inside Out 2 by a considerable margin. However Inside Out 2 is looking very backloaded. This is looking extremely presales heavy right now. Much more than IO2’s 1,200 tickets for FRI. But here lies the problem. There is only 122 tickets separating THU and FRI for Deadpool and Wolverine, and for IO2, there is 500 tickets between the two days for that movie. This far out I’m not freaking out. I think the gap will increase. It just alarmed me a little. I still think it’s going to be massive though. Just a word of caution (May 28).)
  
• Charlie Jatinder (Comp: $28.07M THU. Moving along nicely with 8.3k tickets. Completed 8K+ by T-50 day target rather easily, was helped by that popcorn bucket promo in between. Next challenge is to hit 9K by T-40 days. $35-40M is what I expect (June 6). BP2 added ~48K from T-39 to T-26. D&W added ~42K from T-66 to T-53. Amazing (June 3). Weirdly strong day today, selling 200+ tix (May 31). Moving along well (May 27). Nearly 300 sales day vs ~260 by Black Panther & ~200 of GOTG3. Another brilliant day. Given the length of sales window, comps be falling off but they have remained steady for first 4 days (May 24).)
  
• Flip (1.41x Bad Boys 4 T-0 (June 7).)
  
• jeffthehat (Took my first look in Indiana yesterday. Won't do a full post because I missed like 20 shows. But the gist is it was at ~3600 tickets sold and ~400 shows. Just as a point of reference, here are the highest values for tickets sold I have in my database. Bob Marley Wed T-1 = 3309 tickets sold. Dune 2 Thu T-1 = 3041 tickets sold. Godzilla x Kong Thu T-1 = 2328 tickets sold. Thus, sales are already the highest I've tracked with two months to go (May 29).)
  
• keysersoze123 ([response to Jatinder] Previews pace is terrific. Ahead of what I expected. Of course Wakanda was more backloaded because of Veteran's Day. FRI was way higher compared to where Deadpool is (3rd week of presales). I think Thor is better comp once we are into its presale window. I think we could be close to bottom end of the curve for this movie. Probably around 200K for previews/90k ish for FRI by end of June (June 3). Previews was taken late yesterday and FRI data was just now. Still going quite strong. very impressive after huge OD (May 28). Still really strong 3 days later (May 25). 1st few days of PS is all about fanboys so T-x does not matter. By this FRI it will be in steady state mode. With this long a cycle that would be at very low levels. Looking at FRI sales, its IM will be closer to Thor 4 than BP2. So we can do the projections based on how the previews will go. However Its really early. Let us wait until we have T-x comps. Probably will have to wait until July to get credible comps. MTC2 early sales tend to be way weaker for all movies. The disparity for big movies is even higher. Nothing out of ordinary in day 2 pace for MTC1 (May 22). Obvious skew on previews (compared to FRI) as its 9+ weeks from release. Excellent growth even past 2:15 PM. Finished ahead of BP2 and ~20K below Thor 4 (116k for DxW and FINAL The Marvels previews at 133k). It has the longer cycle. This includes fan shows which sold 18K+ in initial check around noon PST. Fan event is just MTC1. I dont see anything for any other MTC so far or smaller chains. I think at this point we need to comp with 2022 MCU movies if OD presales are on par. Until we are within T-x cycle for this movie, we cannot comp after 1st 2-3 days. Fan shows are yuge. Adding FanShows and Previews should put it between BP2 and Thor 4 for now. Terrific OD. Over time, GotG3 should provide great comps. I can say for sure, its no where in the ballpark of DS2 which did 36m previews. Really good start. Should finish the day ahead of Ant 3 I think. Sales will taper off after fanboy rush. This does not include fan shows. No full data yet but show counts for previews (MTC1 - 7427 and MTC2 - 2914). MTC1 shows they are ready for big numbers. MTC2 is more conservative and numbers will go up close to release. If I have to guess based on really early indications, its OD between Guardians 3 and Ant 3 at MTC1. MTC2 I unfortunately cannot get data (May 20).)
  
• Porthos (Comp: $20.87M THU. Approx Earned So Far (Sacto Market Based Comps): $7.74M (June 8). For long releases of MCU/SW Saga caliber, it usually takes about 6 to 8 days for the initial wave to stop. The Rise of Skywalker didn't really "bottom out" until D9 or so (T-51). Then at T-21, more or less, it started up its acceleration again. Can see similar patterns for MCU long runners (May 24). MCU/SW films tend to have a bit longer of a slope-down on the decent of the "u-curve" so I think I'll keep posting "Day x" comps for at least a couple more days (May 23). Pretty standard Day 2, really. Best sign, I think, is it nearly matching BP2 (that also had a long pre-sale window starting at T-38) (May 22).)
  
• TheFlatLannister ($150M locked imo. Don’t really see under $30M for previews and a 6x multi gets it to $180M OW. With GOTG 3 early reception I think $200M becomes a real discussion (May 22).)
  
• Tinalera (Toronto having an especially good run on pre sales- overall sales looking healthy (May 27).)
  
• vafrow (Comp: $37.8M THU. At it's current stage, I can't figure any comp that's worthwhile. However, it did well of the gate and it's growth during this dead period is decent, doing about a percentage point a day (June 8). Growth not quite as high as I'd like for a full week, but I'm pretty sure I had a miscount for one of the big IMAX screens that probably has thrown off the numbers. I've kept comps in, but I'm really stretching the utility (June 1).)
  

• abracadabra1998 (THU Comps: 0.73x Inside Out 2. 1.06x Kung Fu Panda 4: $4.04 Million (17 theaters). Holy number of showings/seats! Pretty good start (June 8).)
  
• AniNate (Still early goings but so far just a party of four on Wednesday at the theater I'm tracking for DM4 (June 5).)
  
• Charlie Jatinder (Almost nothing sale at MTC2 but this will more about final week sales film (June 6).)
  
• Flip (.678x Inside Out T-24 (had been on sale for a while) and .580x AQP Day One First day (June 5). Getting much more support than Inside Out 2, which currently has 16 showtimes for opening FRI whereas DM4 is getting 22 showtimes for WED opening day (June 4).)
  
• keysersoze123 (1st the show count is solid. This is as of now. Start is weaker than IO2 that started T-31 or something. But this movie's PS is irrelevant until T-7 or something. Let us see how things go. its OD should be great for movie going. it will drop in Jul 4 and then we have the weekend. So big 5 day weekend is in play (June 6). That said what matters is where it is say days to release. We will know by Jul 1st if its opening anywhere near Minions or not. Until then it does not matter (June 5).)
  
• Porthos (Just completed a Spot Check locally in Sacto. It's actually doing really well in my opinion! 137 tickets sold (All Day) vs [Minions 2 D1 68 tickets sold (Previews)], [Minions 2 D2: 53 tickets sold/121 total (Previews)], [Elemental D1: 37 tickets sold (Previews)], and [IO2 D1: 202 tickets sold (Previews)]. Added the second day of Minions 2 sales, as it had an abnormally small drop from D1->D2. As everyone else has said, this'll be a last week movie. But even in the context of kids movies, it's doing pretty darn well, IMO. How well? Hell if I know (June 6). Took a super casual glance at Century Arden and... it's playing exactly like a kids movie 28 days out. Smattering of sales here and there but zero sign of any real fan rush. Or, rather, the fact that there are any sales at all is the sign of the fans buying tickets today (June 5). There is an extra "event" (Wed July 3rd) called the "Super Ticket". At a glance, looks to be super limited (only one showing in the entire Greater Sacramento market), still could siphon away tickets from other showings in the locales that do have them. No idea what sort of chain limitations might be at play here. Secondly, (July 6th) "Despicable Me MEGA SAT Family Event". Looks to be a Marcus Exclusive, ala Inside Out 2 Funko event. Chance of siphoning off some amount of sales from earlier days, so might be kept in the back of the mind of anyone who is comping any regions that have Marcus/Movie Tavern Theaters.(June 4). The WED all-day release will mess with comps even more than a Discount TUES release will (June 3).)
  
• TheFlatLannister ($7.64M WED comp. Pretty massive rollout in terms of show allocations. Very good start this far out (June 7).)
  
• TwoMisfits (My Cinemarks are continuing the summer "put up or shut up" for presales with 2 screens and 12 showings at each for DM4 (1 has 1 PLF screen, so 1/2 the showings at one are PLF) (June 4).)
  
• vafrow (No new sales. Kung Fu Panda 4 jumped from 4 to 12 on its second day. Inside Out stayed at 2 on its second day (June 8). 7 sold compares to 2 sold for Inside Out 2 on its first day, and 4 for Kung Fu Panda 4 (June 7). No Despicable Me tickets on sale yet for MTC4 (June 5).)
  

• abracadabra1998 ($4.38M EA+THU comp. Pretty good start (June 7).)
  
• AniNate (Flipped through Canton showtimes and so far Twisters has sold 35 for the extended weekend (June 6).)
  
• el sid (Has already sold 10 tickets in "my" AMC in NY and 38 in LA (June 6).)
  
• Flip (.522x AQP Day One First Day. Twisters is selling ok, will probably come around how much DM4 sold yesterday, but since I track NYC/NJ, I’d expect it to underindex here (June 6).)
  
• jeffthehat ($3M THU comp. Doesn't look like a great start here. But I only have a couple day 2 comps. I don't think Fall Guy did very well in this region. And def don't think it will be as frontloaded as Monkey Man (June 7).)
  
• keysersoze123 (Meh start for a big budget CGI blockbuster (June 7).)
  
• Porthos (Sold 91 tickets last night (D1) which is better than the soft PLF-only start of KotPotA (73 tickets). I'm tracking it on the side, in case it shows signs of breaking out. Which it hasn't so far. Either way, put me in the boat of "it's fine... for a GA walkup based movie that inexplicably has pre-sales 42 days out" (June 7).)
  
• TheFlatLannister ($4.27M THU comp. Not really seeing breakout signs tbh. It's still very far out so maybe something closer to release date. Looks like lots of folks that wanted tickets bought on day one. Probably won't see an acceleration until final 7 days (June 7). With a long presales window, this is actually pretty good? Nothing crazy, but still much better than even I anticipated (June 6).)
  
• vafrow (It sold two more tickets on EA, but I expect this stays quiet for a while. Still need to set up sheets for it, but screen allocations seem plf heavy (June 8). Not much to really interpret. It's a similar first day to Fall Guy, which had 2 tickets sold, but no EA sales. It's hard to expect much this far out (June 7). Both Twisters and Minions are up for sale on MTC4. Twisters looks like it's going to get a fair amount of Wednesday EA showings (June 6).)
