Also wondering if opening the weekend or so before most schools close for the summer is a good date to choose. I wouldn't be surprised if some families are saying "next week," after school is out and initial crowds have let up. (Although let me say, a late Sunday night after opening, last showing of the night, is PERFECT if you want it quiet. My mom and I almost had a private screening; thought we would, but three others showed up before it started.)


As for holdouts... yeah, my brother-in-law is interested in checking it out for Bebop and Rocksteady. They only rented the prior film, but was asking last night if I thought it was worth a theater viewing. Very possible many are just waiting to see what others are saying.
