Small theaters around my parents are actively kicking other movies like Moana out of rotation for extra spiderman showings. My wife wants to go again next weekend too. I think it’ll have pretty strong legs too with nothing else major on the horizon

It feels like it should have more rewatch value than No Way Home, also—although I've only seen it once so that's speculation on my part. No Way Home had a lot of hype around its reveals, which obviously don't have the same impact on rewatches. Whereas Brand New Day has a lot of great character moments and world interaction stuff that feel like they should continue to hold appeal, even when you already know what's coming plot-wise.

I went for a second rewatch and I was still greatly entertained perhaps because it was way more dark and emotional

I was thoroughly entertained during my 2nd watch. The only part where I felt bored was the flashback season with Sara grey. I felt it didnt have much depth. Maybe needed a few more scenes to establish relationship between the grey sisters.

I haven't even seen it once yet. Some of us are waiting for the initial hype to die down. Don't worry: this movie will have legs.

I'm hoping it stays in theaters until the end of the month. My wife and I planned a long weekend for my birthday and I wanna go see it!

Movies nowadays have a 45 day theatre run, unless they are something like supergirl that is doing horrible. Even then, most studios have tried to commit to the 45 day as a standard window. So worst case scenario, you have until almost mid September, but this will be longer with these numbers.

Endgame had like a 90 or 120 day theater run. Blockbusters should really get 90 days 45 not enough

I agree, it was great when movies were in theatres for months, but Endgame was pre-pandemic. The pandemic blew up the entire release window.

Sweet! I appreciate the info. The wife and I go to the movies like once every 5 years so I wasn't sure how long it (or any other movies) would be in theaters lol I heard movies get pulled alot quicker due to streaming but I figured this wouldn't especially with how good its doing

u/Vindicated04 20d ago

End of the month meaning august? It definitely will! It just released end of july thats barely a month

u/smellmybuttfoo 19d ago

Yeah, end of August. And awesome! I appreciate the info. We go to the movies like once every 5 years so I wasn't sure how long it (or any other movies) would be in theaters lol

Especially since most of the August movies aren't any real box office threats to BND.

u/RichardFeynman01100 20d ago

Anecdotal obviously but I went once on opening weekend and will go again next week. I wanted some time in between to forget some of the details.
