Lol are you trying to troll him because it might end up doing 1.25 instead of 1.18? Haha

Updated my table with estimates for the first two days of Fandango Pulse Numbers based on the Fandango AEG:AIW 5:1 comment. Obviously we now know these aren't total tickets sold but still useful for day-by-day comparisons.

This thread is a perfect example of the Dumpster Fire the Boxoffice part of this site has become. As one of the old BOM guard it makes me sad that as the old guard knowledgeable posters have left we have mainly added divisive fanboys and people who cant understand statistics and factual data. All the handwringing over nothing. Yall wouldnt have survived in the days of 300% increases on Fridays but consistently over 50% Sunday drops (and no huge swings on Tuesday / Wednesdays).

Can we do sunday evening? I work Saturday nights and sunay mornings?

Small curiosity, the "UCI" cinema chain (the largest along with "The Space") had made 10k gadgets available (one per ticket of course) for the preview of "Endgame". They are finished after 3/4 days

Easy 1.5mn. Baahubali 2 holds record at 1.007mn while 2nd biggest is 2.0, iirc, at 480k.

Okay, so @cookie my phone was on death's edge but now I'm back on home on my laptop and ready to reply.

Yeah this is exactly what Porthos was saying about Finding Dory and I2 being good comps. If you expected DP to be a IW/TFA level fanboy driven event then yeah this disconfirms that, but if you think it'll be an immensely successful family movie you're still good.

@CayomMagazine Chloe Zhao (The Rider) has replaced Jeremiah Zagar (We The Animals) as the director of the upcoming Rescuers reboot. He will, however, remain onboard the film as a screenwriter and producer for the film. Kelly Fremon Craig (The Edge of Seventeen, Notes From the Otherspace) has also signed on to co-write and produce the film. In regards to casting, Eiza Gonzalez, Adam Driver, and Evan Rosado have joined the cast of the film, the former two are reportedly portraying the villains of the film. Isabelle Huppert, Jean Reno, Audrey Tatou, Xavier Dolan, Rhys Darby, Jonathan Pryce, and Hugh Jackman have joined the voice cast of the film, which already includes Lea Seydoux as Miss Bianca and Glen Powell as Bernard.

@aabattery we need to educate the masses

How many active players do we really even have? Since each IMAX reservation is for two weeks, we'd need 13 players to all claim all four of their slots before we filled up. So I think sticking with 4 is fine.

I am cool with that but we should wait for Xillix to feel better.

Still crazy how walkup heavy FK was. For such a big franchise, lack of rush is amazing.

Yea

After only 5 hours of being on sale, the internet breaker known as Detective Pikachu has already sold 19 tickets at my theater!!

So now all is right with the world. Every movie recovered nicely. I will now prepare myself for tomorrow’s hysteria, when the inevitable drops occur.

No, what's going to happen is Endgame being the first movie to have a 3rd weekend over 100mil!

3 weeks before release

If nearly everyone has IMAX picks, I propose an opening on Saturday or Sunday. April 14: IMAX Window April 19: Extended Window

CGV 19:20 1. Birthday 14k 2. Hellboy 12k 3. Money 9.8k 4. Shazam 6.7k 5. Pet Sematary 6.3k 6. Us 5.9k 7. Five Feet Apart 4.5k 8. Fall in love 3.9k 9. CM 1.7k Hellboy cgv 79% / Pet Sematary 73%.

@cookie @4815162342 I finally caught up to where I left off on Voltron.

Where else do you want to spread your anti-Shazam! stance? It really gets boring

Excellent, excellent work @Menor I estimated a roughly 10% increase in tickets sold for Thursday and 3% for Friday to adjust for your sellouts. This gives us 877659 tickets sold across 218 locations. Endgame will be playing in close to 4500 theaters, but lets call it 4400 for the sake of being conservative. If the data holds roughly true, that means we're already at 17.7 million tickets sold for opening weekend. If you figure an average price of $10 lets say, we're looking at $177 million already. I think it's safe to say that at this point, Endgame has an accumulated total somewhere between $140m - $180m already in the bank.

I'd say that is very much correct. Hollywood simply doesn't really produce the movies anymore that work well in Germany. The genres that work the best here aren't really en vogue in the US right now, and they aren't necessarily all that interesting for the rising markets either. That isn't entirely their fault, doing something that works well in asia will get you more money than something that caters mostly to Germans. Many times the studios don't think things through though. At times you see them not even releasing a movie that would fit well in Germany, because it doesn't really garner a lot of interest elsewhere either. So instead of deciding things market by market, they just make general decisions for broad regions at the most. Apart from the issues of just not enough Hollywood-productions that cater to German tastes, the release-schedule is another big reason why things don't work. Stuff just gets thrown out there regardless of how big the competition is. Local holidays that would offer an advantage often get ignored. And delivering tentpoles when Germans actually want to go to the cinema (e.g. winter) doesn't happen all that often. I guess the latter is a consequence of studios trying to keepthe release dates as closely together as possible, born out of the desire to keep pirating down. Only Japan really seems to get a different treatment.

It's 10% now

My bad, my impression was that it was the week following that. So they kinda have to release them now then...especially since they don't want to do it Endgame weekend. Truth is if people really want to see this they'll see both Endgame and Detective Pikachu!

I mean yeah eventually Endgame won't be #1 at the box office that's just how these things go but a lot of people were saying it would cut off Endgame's legs and going off of the numbers we have right now ((Not to say that can't change later)) that's not happening.

I’ve thought of sending you a few different cold opens for Scavvies 3 next week so I can decide what character is going to have the central focus, but I can say right now to everyone that regardless of whichever Numbers ends up preferring the opening line will still be this: Take that as you will.

New season of American Horror Story is called AHS: 1984 ugh!

It’s astonishing that this thread is 40 pages in, and we still know virtually nothing about the film beyond the people who are in it.

Nice jump, I guess we’re expecting every film to increase more than usual after yesterday, moreso the holdovers.

i was ironic/joking ..... nevermind

A Shazam fan freaked out but many pointed out horror films 70% drop was not normal. Dumbo got slaughtered (no surprise, deserved), and after we saw CMs crap number it died down. Everything did bad except Unplanned which had a horrible weekend anyways.

There are some very funny moments here:

Sequel trilogy is quite the mess!

Animation looks stunning as always. I hope this gets an Australian release date. Radwimps back for the music too!

Why are we still listening to anything Grace Randolph says? She pulls information out of her ass

Family movies drop hard. Will jump big time tomorrow. 65% or more.
