Word of Mouth: Positive reactions fueled further attendance, especially in domestic markets.
Pandemic Dynamics: Disney's strategy of releasing the film in theaters with minimal digital early access—contrasted with Black Widow's simultaneous streaming release—may have helped draw audiences to theaters.
