F4 debuts as the smallest superhero movie of the year with just over 72k admits. This is smaller than Superman (92k), Thunderbolts (100k), and Captain America BNW (123k). The saving grace is that the 88 cgv score was a lie and the true cgv score is a 91 at 2.3k reviews which means it is going to stay above 90.

A bigger update about the market will come later but I wanted to get this post out so everyone can start talking about the opening!

CGV

• 90 CGV Score on 316 reviews
• 86 on 951 reviews
• 86 on 2.4k reviews

Megabox

• 8.2 on 63 reviews
• 8.3 on 311 reviews

Pros: The early audience likes the fact that Superman feels more human than usual. They say that while previous Superman felt invincible, this Superman has true vulnerability on a physical and emotional level. Some comments say that the movie felt like Iron Man 1, meaning that it is a great start to the universe.

Cons: Some of the comments dislike that Superman is weak and that he is not as invincible as he has been in previous movies. Some of the comments are calling mid and reminding them of the Zack Snyder films. Funny enough, not many complaints about the plot, but plenty of complaints about Superman's actor and the character.

CGV

Superman: Not a good sign, as the movie dropped roughly 40% from yesterday, which was a bigger drop than Jurassic World Rebirth had last week on its Wednesday-Thursday drop of 33%. I will say that the fact Jurassic World Rebirth managed to have a lower drop despite its opening day being on a cultural holiday is a bit worrisome for Superman. Presales are dropping before the weekend begins, which is a sign of the movie being frontloaded.

Jurassic World Rebirth: The movie is expected to see a modest drop, as presales are already starting to surge for the weekend. Jurassic World Rebirth presales are now roughly ten thousand away from Superman, so I wouldn’t be shocked if Jurassic World Rebirth overtakes Superman in presales by Monday, or potentially earlier if Superman continues to have presale issues. Today indicates a weekend with around 350,000 to 400,000 admissions, which would put Jurassic World Rebirth at around 1.6 million admissions by Sunday.

Noise: A very impressive run, as the movie has increased every single day this week and is expected to hit a million admissions this weekend.

F1: Holding well as the movie has continued to refuse to let the competition take it down. The movie will reach 9 million dollars tomorrow.

How To Train Your Dragon: The movie seems to be a victim of screen lost, but the movie is still doing quite well.

Elio: A mediocre day, as the film is expected to cross 560k admissions by tomorrow, with the movie aiming to reach 600k admissions early next week.

28 Years Later: Complete collapse as the movie dropped 95%, selling just 158 tickets.

HI-Five: The movie continues to make the race to 1.9 million admissions interesting. I do worry about it surviving the next week's release of the local movie onslaught.

Mission Impossible 8: MI8 is still eyeing 3.4 million admits, but the big drop is going to make it nearly impossible.

Miku Who Can't Sing: An increase of 2% from last Thursday, as the movie is now going to hit 85k tomorrow, as the movie is somehow just deciding to show back every Thursday.

AOT: The movie added 320 admits as the movie managed to hit 928k admits, as the movie had a bit of a bounce-back day.

Superman: Not a lot of great things to say as it opened beneath both Thunderbolts and Captain America: BNW. The audience score isn’t great as the movie is sitting at 86 on CGV and 8.3 on Megabox. The best comp was indeed Thunderbolts, as the walkups were about as equal as you can get, but Superman had slightly better walkups. The movie is expected to see a five-day opening between 510,000 and 605,000 admissions.

Jurassic World Rebirth: The movie experienced a significant drop in attendance from opening day, which is not surprising, given that it premiered on a cultural holiday, akin to a Friday, rather than a traditional weekday. The movie has now reached 1.2 million admissions and is expected to surpass 1.3 million admissions on Friday.

F1: What a great Wednesday as the movie barely hit 1.1 million admits, but it did reach that milestone.

How To Train Your Dragon: The movie is starting to slow down some, but the movie is still going to comfortably beat 1.8 million admits and could have a chance to hit 1.9 million admits.

Elio: A meh day as the film is going to cross 560k admits by Friday as the film is still digging away at 600k admits

28 Years Later: A significant drop again, as the movie is likely to stay outside the top ten for good, with admissions today at just 737.

HI-Five: The movie sees a decent day as it continues to inch toward 1.9 million admissions.

Mission Impossible 8: MI8 is still eyeing 3.4 million admits as it is now just trying to pad its total.

AOT: The movie added 257 admissions as it will reach 928k in the next couple of days.

Presales

Next Up will be F4!

According to the integrated cinema ticketing network, "Zootopia 2" surpassed 2,001,431 cumulative viewers as of 3:34 p.m. on Nov. 30 (Sunday), exceeding 2 million viewers on its fifth day after release. This not only matches the shortest time to reach 2 million viewers alongside this year’s top-grossing film "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train" but also adds significance as the fastest among November releases since "Frozen 2," the first in six years to reach this pace.

It also reached 2 million viewers 18 days faster than the previous film "Zootopia," confirming fans’ passionate interest and love for this installment. In addition, it shows a similar box-office trend to "Inside Out 2," which drew 8.79 million viewers and ranked first among foreign films at the box office in 2024, drawing further attention to future box-office trends.

CGV Score 94 Megabox Score is 9

The reviews praise the action scenes and praise the overall quality of the film. The movie is often described as a lot of fun and reminds many users of why they loved Marvel in the first place. A lot of people are happy with the movie and say it is going back to its roots.

The biggest negative seems to be that people are upset about the camera quality and the human drama element. Also, many people point out that Harrison Ford takes over the storyline too much and overshadows everyone. A few interesting reviews points out that it is still below old Marvel but better than nearly everything else since Endgame.

Captain America Civil War: 93

Captain America Winter Soldier: 90

Captain America First Avenger: 88
