Friday Midday: Early numbers show Warner Bros/DC’s Blue Beetle with $9.8M today and a $25M opening at 3,871. This is higher than what others are showing given the expectation that Latino and Hispanic audiences will show up tonight and during matinees. Remember that Blue Beetle has all the PLFs, Imax and premium upcharges working in its favor.
Warners can boast second place in the fifth weekend of Barbie at 4,003 theaters with a $6M Friday, -40% from a week ago, and a $20M-$21M 3-day, -39%. On the high end, Barbie gets to $566.7M by EOD Sunday.

Do Latino audiences really get wet just because someone with brown skin is in a movie?

Apparently not wet enough when you compare it to how high BATMAN opened with Robert Pattinson?? I feel like the general audience simply doesn't care for DC movies as much as they did MARVEL?? The FLASH was a colossal Bomb, and you know WB has to be nervous about Aquaman 2?? I'm also leaning toward the idea that the general moviegoer is tired of comicbook movies after INFINTIY WAR & END GAME?? I mean that was 10 Years invested in one MARVEL movie after another with IRONMAN 2008 to get to the final movies and that's not something we'll ever see again, not even with DC.. I also think JUSTICE LEAGUE Bombed because in the eyes of the average moviegoer, it was an AVENGERS wannabe, even if it came 1st in the comics??
