Notes on Comps:

  1. SALTBURN opened limited, so you can see the social totals but the obo was $0.3M an not in the averages.

  2. DUNE TWO was strong and opened well for Sci-fi but Zendaya was not promoting until after the opening.

  3. Note that all RelishMix DOTS Meter blue strong openers are at the top of the list.

  4. DUNE in green, exceeding norms and is top.

  5. Note that KING RICHARD opened during covid but was strong.

  6. CREED is a franchise pic, so not in the averages.

CAST #4 (BOLD = Activated):

Cast activation levels are at 9.1 of 10 with Zendaya posting stories to her followers on IG are at 184M and posts with likes and views in the 3-8M range each.

CAST #3 (BOLD = Activated):

Cast continues at 9.0/10 with Zendaya posting stories by no new posts this week. Followers on IG are at 184M. https://www.instagram.com/zendaya/

CAST #2 (BOLD = Activated):

Cast Activation Level:

Cast reach has grown by 1M and exception posting and views on Zendaya’s IG page. https://www.instagram.com/zendaya/

While Zendaya has 184M fans on Instagram, her other social channels are abandoned and there is a clear opportunity to reactivate, especially with her as a producer on this project. Especially on her YouTube channel with 4M fans, to post trailers and BTS clips would be simple as super cost-effective. Joshua Connor is activated on Instagram with 471K and Jake Jensen on Instagram at 130K and both are activated but only on Instagram. Mike Faust is non-social.

CONVO:

Index (out of 10, 1 being most negative, 5.0 is mixed and 10.0 most positive)

Convo on Challengers is now at 5.8, up from 5.4, up from 4.8, up from 4.2 — leading up to opening weekend, continues to run mixed leaning positive with comments, suggesting, “This is either gonna be the BEST or WORST film of 2024. No in between.” On earned and owned materials, men and women both, are taking shots at the Tom Holland Spider-Man element, which is playful and not critical, just an obvious note to play with for fans.

“Saw it last night !! I’m with zendaya on art ‼️”

“Movie of the year right here. Absolutely loved it”

“i loved it”

“The best movie 2024 of the year”
