Io is a beast...

@bluebomb how are io's chances looking for 9/10 mn?

Considering holidays are coming up

9m is about 60/40. 10% chance for 10m.

 

9M is locked (i think) 10M will depent on the legs

9m is certainly not locked. Inside Out's weekdays will be very poor as evidenced by Tuesday's 4th place finish. Since weekend showings are predicated on Thursday/Friday numbers, that won't bode well for Inside Out beginning next week.

 

The holiday could not have come at a better time though. Inside Out was starting to fade but the holiday this week will allow it to have a very solid hold this weekend.

Apparently, Undercover Duet was the #1 film on Tuesday in gross so Pixels true hold is somewhere in the -50 to -60% range. I'm not sure why Pixels has such high admissions though on the site.

Decent for No Escape. Excellent for Inside Out. It along with Hero were the only 2 films from last week who beat its final admissions from last Thursday with just its pre-sales. Terrible hold for Pixels. Not good for Love Detective or A Tale of Three Cities. Love Detective could see huge walk-ins though. Wonderful for Hero. Incredible start for PK. It sits at 67 people per showing with just its pre-sales alone. Great for Mission Impossible 5. Bad for Hitman.

Just OK for Pixels. 2m will be broken by next week. Inside Out has already passed 8m and is currently #14 of all time. 9m will depend on how well it holds up on weekdays. Weekends have been doing pretty well but its weekdays that is concerning right now. Pretty bad for Hitman to decrease from last week's 4-day opening. Mission Impossible 5 has blown past 6.6m and 6.7m will happen by this weekend.

No Escape absolutely crushed the competition. Walk-ins were a staunch 74%. Opening day reviews sit a very good 4.5/5. Playing on incredible word of mouth, Inside Out did not just shot up two-fold from last week but it was the only holdover of the top 10 to defeat its Saturday admissions. Ok for Love Detective. It's doing similar numbers to Undercover Duet. Opening day users have given it a 3.3/5...not exactly inspiring confidence. Pretty bad for Pixels. It only marginally increased from last week despite Thursday being a holiday. Awful for A Tale of Three Cities. No one cares for these types of films here. Early reviews have it at a 3.8/5. Bad for Undercover Duet. Very good for Hero. That is ghastly for Hitman. Nice for Mission Impossible 5. PK had a fantastic opening day. Showing in just 5 theaters and with 21 showings, it averaged 140 people per showtime. Superb. Early reviews have said that this is better than 3 Idiots and that made 3m in HK. It is unknown if any more UA theaters will pick this up next week but for now, a great start. Opening day users have tagged it with a 4.8/5 so far. Incredible score.

Thursday actuals

2. Inside Out - $141,268/$8,139,613

8. Mission Impossible 5 - $52,506/$6,665,139

Inside Out should be at 8.4m by the end this weekend. Mission Impossible 5 will pass 6.7m this weekend and jump over Interstellar and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for #25 foreign film of all time.

Good for No Escape. A Tale of Three Cities only jumped to 2nd place because it plays to the older crowd. Still not good enough. Awful for Pixels. The wheels have fallen off now. OK for Love Detective. Decent hold for Undercover Duet. Very good hold for Hero. This is exactly what I was worried about with Inside Out. Very weak pre-sales have seen it slip to #7. It will no doubt rebound a bit with walk-ins but will theaters want to continue showing this 5 days in a row with very slow sales just for 2 days of solid but not outstanding ticket sales? Excellent for PK considering it's a very long film and holiday is over.

Very good for No Escape. Excellent for Inside Out. 8.3m will happen by the end of this weekend at least. Not bad for Love Detective. Shockingly awful for Pixels to decrease week-to-week on a holiday. Bad for A Tale of Three Cities. MI5 will likely pass 6.7m this weekend.

Great for No Escape. Decent for Love Detective. Obviously the holiday will trade off a bit with Friday-Sunday this weekend so holds will be larger than normal. Although it had the best hold of the top 10 in admissions from Thursday, A Tale of Three Cities is not doing well. Major ouch for Pixels. 3m might not happen after all. Undercover Duet just pipped Inside Out for #5. Not a great hold for Duet or Inside Out. Very good for Hero. Remarkable for PK to drop just 50% from the Thursday holiday despite the long running time. Surprisingly decent for MI5. Teens were really driving MI5 over the summer so to see a near 50% hold in admissions is not too bad at all.

Really good for No Escape. Perhaps it could hit 17,500 admissions today. #2-#5 are only separated by 250 admissions but the trend here is what's important. Inside Out will be 2nd. Love Detective will be 3rd and Pixels/Three Cities will fight for #4/#5. PK continues to do well as it beat Inside Out at its own game: have the biggest increase of the entire top 10.

Superb for No Escape. Decent for Love Detective. Not great for Inside Out. 9m looks to be a stretch now. The only consolation that it can take away from today is that it held 10% better than yesterday (% wise) where it is tracking the best of the holdovers. While Hero had the best hold, it seems to be slowing down, dropping 6% more on Saturday than Friday. Terrible increase for Three Cities but that was expected. Pixels had another disaster. Bad hold for Undercover Duet. Love Detective is affecting its hold this weekend. Good hold overall for Hero. Yikes for Hitman. Good for Mission Impossible 5. PK is doing really well.

Marvelous opening for No Escape. Playing in just 31 theaters, this will garner a possible $25,000+ PTA. Love Detective opened to nearly the same number as Undercover Duet. When you look at the weekend number for Inside Out, it is pretty good but of course the holiday inflated its weekend number and the trend does not look particularly rosy for it. It will have to play well on Sunday/Monday to restore theaters' confidence in it. While I think most theaters were being particularly generous this weekend, they won't be come next Thursday if it continues to have virtually non-existant weekdays and mild weekends. A Tale of Three Cities opened to the 2nd highest of most theaters but it did not register with moviegoers. Period dramas never ever do well on holiday weekends...just ask The Flowers of War. Pixels got off to a poor start on the Thursday holiday and dropped like on a rock this weekend. Huge crash for it and the chance of making 3m is gone.

[Bluebomb]

As of this moment, PK is a couple hundred admissions away from Thursday's admissions and will pass it before the day ends. The success of PK this weekend can be attributed to 3 Idiots back in 2011.

3 Idiots HK run in 2011

Now it is unlikely that PK would come close to 3 Idiots' gross if it only continues to play in just 5 theaters, however, if this expands to other UA theaters next weekend, this has a shot at catching 3 Idiots. The user rating through opening weekend still sits at an astonishing 4.8/5 and will continue to play well with audiences throughout its run. It will have a bigger opening weekend than 3 Idiots and its PTA will be in the neighborhood of $24,000-$26,000 this weekend.

Great opening for No Escape. HK could turn out to be a top ten market for it. Kind of underwhelming for Love Detective. Inside Out spends its 7th week in the top 3, one of only 3 8m+ grossers to achieve that feat (Avatar, Titanic are the other 2). 9m is pretty much dead at this point. A Tale of Three Cities bombed. Pixels had its lights turned out this week ending any hopes for 3m. #7-#10 will be very close as estimates put them within $5,000 of each other. PK will begin with around $120,000 (+63% 3 Idiots opening weekend showing in just 5 theaters).

I'm surprised by the PK run so far in HK and China. It really didn't seem like a movie which would travel well since the themes are so Indian.

I'm surprised by the PK run so far in HK and China. It really didn't seem like a movie which would travel well since the themes are so Indian.

PK's Chinese name includes the word 'star' or 'stars' which was also in the Chinese name for the South Korean hit drama My Love From Another Star. People went crazy over that here and so some of them have gone to see this movie because of that. The themes are Indian but the crux of the movie is universal. That is why it is resonating here and in China.

Decent for No Escape. Excellent for PK. What started out in 10th place last Thursday has already soared to #4 on Tuesday. Much better hold for Inside Out today. While every other holdover in the top 10 improved their hold by 2.5-7% from Monday, Inside Out bettered its hold by nearly 20% showing how family oriented/young teens this film is.

Thursday schedules

Maze Runner: Scorch Trials gets 2-3 screens almost everywhere. Other new openers include Lady of the Dynasty, All You Need is Love and Boychoir. Lady of the Dynasty will get major showings in less tourist-y areas. All You Need is Love is getting picked up by MCL and by a few other theaters. Boychoir gets showings at all GH locations and a couple others.

Big major holdover winners this week (besides last week's winner) are A Tale of Three Cities, Love Detective and Inside Out. A Tale will get shown for another week at Broadway/AMC and about half of the other theater chains that showed this last week will show it again this week. Love Detective remains on pretty much every theater while Inside Out will see most theaters retain it for another week. Though Inside Out has performed poorly over the past week since school has begun, it is in its 8th week while the rest are in their 3rd or 4th week. Biggest losers include Pixels and Hitman: Agent 47 and Undercover Duet. Pixels is gone from UA and GH while Hitman will see its theater count drop by more than half. Undercover Duet remains strong at smaller scale theaters but UA will cut this in half on Thursday and MCL has axed this from 3 of its theaters.

PK will only add 1 theater on Thursday, the UA Airport IMAX. I'm unsure if any more UA theaters will pick this up at this point because the other 3 theaters with IMAX from last week have moved PK to their IMAX screen on Thursday and the Airport IMAX is only an extension of them. Perhaps this is a test run for the rest.

PK's Chinese Title is "我的个神啊"（Oh My God）.

PK's Chinese Title is "我的个神啊"（Oh My God）.

 

That's funny because PK is very similar in plot to another Bollywood movie actually titled Oh My God.

PK's Chinese Title is "我的个神啊"（Oh My God）.

HK Chinese title. (来着星星的PK)

 

Tuesday actuals

1. No Escape - $86,542/$975,709

2. Love Detective - $37,804/$392,950

3. PK - $23,659/$169,521

4. A Tale of Three Cities - $22,443/$253,713

5. Undercover Duet - $18,279/$759,919

6. Pixels - $15,815/$1,979,089

7. Inside Out - $14,532/$8,334,239

8. Hitman: Agent 47 - $9,658/$1,430,178

So PK came in 3rd on Tuesday. Amazing.

Friday schedules

Everest will begin showing this Friday in IMAX and a number of locations in 2D/3D. As a result, some holdovers have taken hits with showtimes on Friday. Due to Everest being shown in the IMAX screen, PK will be relegated to regular theaters during the times that Everest is showing in IMAX.

How's MR2's OD compared to THG movies?

Well, OD hasn't finished yet but it seems like it's in line for an increase over the 1st Maze Runner. None of the Hunger Games movies have made more than Maze Runner on opening weekend or total.

Very strong opening for Maze Runner 2. Almost every holdover suffered due to the holiday last Thursday. PK was an exception, however, and held superbly, down just 45%. Soft openings for Boychoir and All You Need is Love.

Good for Maze Runner 2. Slow for Everest but I doubt people know about these special screenings with Maze Runner 2 going on right now. Mediocre for No Escape. Great for PK. Nice for Love Detective.
