It’s probably not a shocker that February is generally a slow month for movies. Every few years we get a Black Panther, Thor Ragnarok, or Deadpool movie in February, but those are the exceptions. This year (2024), February had some lackluster movies, to say the least. Movies like Drive-Away Dolls, Bob Marley, Lisa Frankenstein, Argylle, and Madam Web. (Those last two were cinematic abominations.)
And then, on the first of March, came DUNE part 2. (Technically, opening day was Feb 29th, but we’ll go ahead and give that to March.)

If that doesn’t count as Worm Sign then I don’t know what does. The first three days of March saw 1/2 the total of all of February—27,674 movie views for February and 15,362 for March 1-3. March is on pace to quadruple the traffic of February. I don’t think we’ll get quit that much of a traffic boost because the worm sign will fade away throughout the month. But there are a handful of notable movies left to release in March that will bring significant traffic.

about the RunPee app.
Brilliant idea with great information
I’ve been using RunPee for a few years now and it’s basically a requirement of going to the movies for me. The best part of course are the “pee times” that give you cues, synopses and times for when you can pee without missing the most important parts of the movie. There is also information about the credits- length, extras and if there are any extra scenes at the wayyy end. Super helpful to just know that it is or isn’t worth staying. There is a timer function that will buzz your phone when it’s a good time to pee. I also appreciate that the app is very conscientious about it being an app you use in a theater- dark background, all silent alarms etc. I will always enjoy the experience of the theater even if I could watch things at home- but I’ve even used it at home to check for things like after credit scenes or other information too.

I’m not suggesting that any of these movies will come close to the numbers generated by Dune pt2, but I’ll bet a few of them kick the crap out of February’s best movie Argylle.
Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
HA, worm sign. I love it and you’re right. Time to get my hooks and take a ride!
