April 30, 2026 - April 30, 2026, the 80-90m option plunged from 64.5c to 37.5c, while the 70-80m option spiked from 16.9c to 38.5c, and the <70m option jumped from 1.6c to 13.2c. This was likely due to early Thursday preview numbers coming in softer than expected on the eve of release, prompting rapid downward revisions for the opening weekend box office.
April 29, 2026 - April 30, 2026, the 80-90m option decreased from 64.5c to 48c, while the 70-80m option increased from 17.9c to 28c. This was because the final pre-release tracking data was slightly downgraded, causing some capital to revise expectations downward into the 70-80m bracket.
April 28, 2026 - April 29, 2026, the 80-90m option rebounded from 24c to 53c, while the 90-100m option pulled back from 53c to 30c. This was because late-stage presale data closer to release made the market less confident in breaking $90M, prompting capital to rebalance the probabilities between 80-90m and 90-100m.
April 27, 2026 - April 28, 2026, the 90-100m option rebounded sharply from 26c to 53c before settling at 45.5c, while the 80-90m option dropped from 48.5c to 34c, and the 70-80m option spiked to 24.65c before plummeting to 10.5c. This was driven by a late-stage presale surge and increased theater allocations, renewing market confidence in a $90M+ opening and causing capital to shift back from lower brackets.
April 24, 2026 - April 27, 2026, the >100m option plummeted from 42.5c to 7.5c, while the 80-90m option surged from 22.5c to 43c. As the release date neared, more accurate theater allocation and presale conversion data indicated that breaking the $100M mark would be difficult, causing market sentiment to rapidly revert to the $80M-$90M rational baseline.
April 22, 2026 - April 24, 2026, the price of the 70-80m option plummeted from 23c to 4.85c, while the >100m option surged from 10.5c to 42.5c. This was driven by extremely strong early presale data, causing market sentiment to shift heavily towards higher box office brackets.
April 19, 2026 - April 22, 2026, the <70m and 70-80m options saw a brief rise, as some earlier conservative tracking (e.g., $55M) still influenced market sentiment.
