• AMC Burbank in California was the top theater.

What they're saying: Andrew Brooks, executive director for sales and marketing at Santikos, tells Axios that Warner Bros. expected a healthy turnout locally and supplied promotional materials like T-shirts and comic books for Santikos theaters.

• "Knowing what the cast meant to so many, knowing our community and that we're so cultural and vibrant, it's a big win for us. It's such a great story and I don't think (the interest) is over yet," he says.
