Also watched One and Only Ivan tonight. Thought it was really good. Tugged on the heart strings at the right times. Probably a bit slow for younger kids, but was a great watch for us.

I thought we alreeady knew that actually - maybe it wasn't confirmed.

Rewatched BATB and TLM before watching Howard, followed by Waking Sleeping Beauty. Loved both! These docs are great compliments to each other. Frank & Ollie is next.

They added 10 showings since the other day for New Mutants at Disney Springs for next Thursday. Hope they made the right move with Mulan, because New Mutants is selling tickets at a better pace than anyone envisioned

Edit: Tenent “Early Access” screenings on Mon, Tue, Wed (8/31-9/2) are all pretty much sold out as well

I’m interested to see how much these movies gross over their first weekend or so. I know looking at availability of seats in theaters near me, there are barely any seats actually sold at this point. In fact, I can’t find a single seat sold at either of the closest 2 theaters to me for the Friday or a Saturday showings of New Mutants. I’m wondering if the a Disney Springs theater will sell out much quicker mainly because with the parks closing by 7, people want something to do at night. Especially looking at the fact that they’re mainly only showing it in the evenings.

With California and New York theaters not reopening any time in the near future, its not going to do enormous numbers, but I think it’ll make enough (~$25-30M) to justify opening in theaters. They needed it to. Its been too long and it starts the clock of when they can release it on PVOD for anyone not willing to go to theaters just yet. If this movie gets reviews that are even remotely encouraging, people on the edge will go. Californians are literally driving to Vegas to see it.

Also weird to look at the UO City Walk theater and see they’re basically not roping off any seats, and they haven’t sold a lot of tickets either. I think that’s pretty telling that people probably feel more comfortable at DS with the roped off seats.
And it’s surprising as we actually prefer the theater at CW to DS during normal times.
I’m going to guess they’ll sell more as it gets closer.

Maybe its just an oversight and they havent been informed of the mistake? I cant imagine 10 miles away Cinemark would have a free for all setting. Thats what I hope, at least. I think people get turned off by having to “pay” for parking, even if its validated with the proof of the movie ticket. I’d love to go to City Walk to just walk around, and maybe go to a movie, but having to pay for parking always makes me rethink it

Oh definitely, the parking fee for just CW isn’t worth it. We’ve got the APs so we get parking for free.
I‘m hoping it’s an oversight too and as the weekend gets closer they’ll rope off some seats.

My daughter like the book. She said there is a book the one and only Bob as well.

Remember parking is free after 6pm

I watched the one and only Ivan thought it was good but not great. Worth a watch imo. Seen a couple of other people here thought the movie was really good.

 

[dclpluto]

Watched Mulan. Haven’t seen it since it came out. Now more excited for 2020 Mulan. Don’t know if I can hold out or not. I might have to bite the bullet and pay the 29.99 plus whatever else fees comes with it.

 

[jkh36619]

Im in the opposite camp. The animated Mulan is way down on my list. No way I'm paying $30 bucks for it. I'll watch it when its a part of my D+ regular programming.

Yea I'm curious too. See people mention or talk about how much theatres seem to be filling up for movies but a big part is this limited seating. The AMC by us reopened last week but for at least the first weekend they were only selling 18 tickets per theatre. They are now showing 30% occupancy or less and as soon as you purchase a ticket it blocks out every seat surrounding it.

Disney Mulan is on the top page now. Really good trailer watched it three times.Going to be really hard to say no to it.

 

[dclpluto]

See some people talking about movie theaters opening back up. I’m from a no fun state New Jersey not opening up here. Enjoy for those of you that can.
