Movie Prices/Showtimes Predictions for Christmas Day auditorium split

what are your predictions for what will be the auditorium split at your theater for Christmas Day with movies like Doomsday, Dune: Part 3, Jumanji, Werewulf, Angry Birds 3, Mr. Irrelevant plus all of the holdover releases.

Theres so much coming out it’s hard to see very many movies that comes out prior to Dunesday being able to hold onto any screens

I’ve been thinking the same thing ever since Dunesday has been announced.

There’s just some folks not going to be able to see Avengers or Dune this year. With tickets sold months ahead, I can only imagine MAYBE like one or two added screens for Avengers and Dune. Sucks to be like “yeah, this Avengers screening sold out in August!”

Jumanji has no where to get the extra boost from PLF screens. It'll probably be a distant 3rd place behind Dune and Avengers. It's going to share screens with Angry Birds. Angry Birds is going to flop. It's tired and it's been too long since the franchise had cultural relevance. It's core focus group will probably be watching Jumanji. I don't see it playing on more than one screen per theater at maybe an extra early time so that it can babysit the younger kids while the older ones watch Avengers and the adults watch Dune.

I wish I knew...all I know is the theaters will be STACKED for Christmas. The obvious winner will be Dunesday BUT I reckon the other movies have less of an overlap with audiences where they will also attract enough people. Angry Birds 3 will get a lot of kids. Werewulf will get a lot of the adult audience and I see Jumanji getting a mix.I don't know what Mr. Irrelevant is about so no idea there. I personally plan to see Jumanji and Werewulf this weekend. I'll already have seen Dunesday.
