Baby Driver's sales have definitely increased by a really big margin. Last night it had sold about 10% of tickets for the 7PM and 7:15PM showings at the two theaters by my house and now I just checked them 45 minutes and 1 hour and they're SOLD OUT

Alien Covenant: Certified Fresh

 

 

 

And even Alien could've gotten far if it wasn't for the divide between critics and audiences (may have to do w/the marketing of the film). It was on track to open w/mid to high 40's, after all. Same for It Comes At Night in a small scale.

Justice League will destroy the Tomato Law in November.

Yup. A critically panned film that will make a ton of money.

I can see $1B for it to be honest but CW numbers is its maximum.

Baby Driver is looking good to breakout this weekend. 2nd place isn't out of the question. Also, to those who have access to the old Box Office Buzz Thread, how does it compare to Tammy and Let's Be Cops, @grim22

DM3 is above Cars on Pulse already. Will likely be #2 soon enough. Looking for a huge gross this weekend.

All the PLFs in Orlando are doing DM3 during the day and Baby Driver at night. Also, Sony is pulling some good fuckery on Rough Night because it's losing next to no theaters. I can guarantee this has something to do with SMH.

My showing was about 90% full. Although it was the Drafthouse, and this is the exact type of movie that does well there, so I don't put too much stock into it.

[BenedictL11]

Baby Driver's final count for 7:00 showing based on seats I saw at AMC Century City 15 - 200 tickets were sold. Off to a great start.

[dxmatrixdt]

the last time 4th of July fell on a Tuesday was in 2006 when Superman Returns and Devil Wears Prada opened.  Superman Returns opened in 4065 theaters which was one of the top 10 highest theater count openings of that time.  Despicable Me 3 just shocked me with that 4500 count.  Only one movie is opening next weekend.  Spider-man.  Back in 2006 during Superman's second weekend only one movie opened.  Pirates 2 with 4,133 locations and it still holds #4 on the all time July opening weekends.  Warner Brothers has the top 3 slots, but Pirates holds the record for the post July 4th weekend.  Wonder Woman almost opened 10M higher than the post Memorial Day weekend record of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

 

 

....the fact that one movie opens next week maybe helps why DM3 is getitng so many theaters.

[dxmatrixdt]

when does the Big Sick go wide? 

Will the beguiled expand more after this upcoming weekend?

how many will the big sick add this weekend?

[AniNate]

Big Sick will probably be early-mid July. Can't see why to wait any longer.

The Big Sick is expanding into more big cities this weekend (probably around 50-60), goes into more markets next weekend, and will be wide on the 14th

The Beguiled will probably be in 800-1k+ next weekend. I don't see how the PTA collapses, and Focus could work out a one week deal with theaters.

Oh god, something I just realized about this week's showtimes at my theater: they're shuffling Baby Driver and The House around a lot to accommodate more Transformers showings. Baby Driver moves into their smallest auditorium at night  Additionally, The House goes into the biggest auditorium late at night after DM3 and Transformers has a 3D showing in the second biggest late after Cars.

They are so stupid. They need to be fired for this.
