Mojo says 574.1 but the numbers says 570.3 Not sure who to believe

Star wars is huge in my area, endgame is the only non-SW movie that looked like this. The cinemark has 8 shows listed for Thurs night, 5 have already sold out, 2 are near sold out (only first row seats left). The local chain has 6 shows listed, 2 are near sold out, and the other 4 are about halfway sold. All told about 75% of the seats currently offered for opening night at these two theaters are sold. (I don't have any actual comps bc I'm lazy. Sorry.)

This may have already been noted, I don't read every post here, but I just noticed that Cinemark has a note on their theater pages that they will not be having discounted Tuesdays between 12/20 and 1/2: https://cinemark.com/southern-california/cinemark-north-hollywood

Is there a way to see worldwide yearly that I'm missing?

The very best 19th minute of sales of any movie ever

@Porthos I meant the calendar view for a given movie's daily gross. This view: https://web.archive.org/web/20190116235616/https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=daily&id=dcfilm0617.htm Unless I'm missing the way to get there on the redesign. Edit, it's down for me now, I'll try again later.

No more calendar view for dailies All time records split up in multiple tabs, not sure if anything is missing yet Top grossing months isn't in any kind of discernible order. One improvement is the release calendar, you can go back to any month/year you want: https://www.boxofficemojo.com/calendar/2005-10-01/

Is there a thread for the boxofficemojo update? https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl252151297/?ref_=bo_rl_tab#tabs No more calendar view, at least not that I can see. All time records split into multiple tabs, not sure if anything is missing yet.

I come up with around 650 overseas, plus 325dom put it up there. Will need help to get to a billion. All rated R movies:

A drop from Ep8 in China sure, but I don't think it does worse than Solo. All in all I think it ends up right around 700m

FFH minus Ch = 935. Extremely likely to beat that number.

I could see Monday being over $8m

375 maybe? Around there I'd guess for now, and the strong Sat-Sun domestic 250+ seems like a good bet. 625+ worldwide.

I want to give you a like for bringing the numbers but also a sad face for zombieland not being over $10m yet.

I'm leaning away from 100m. I think the tracking is probably about right, around 80m

Give it a few days to recover from the late start. Friday or Saturday maybe I'd guess will be a decent indicator.

Over $100m every day through the 2nd Sunday: Cume Daily April 24, 2019 169 169 April 25, 2019 365 196 April 26, 2019 644.561 279.561 April 27, 2019 974.925 330.364 April 28, 2019 1223.64 248.715 Weekend 1 858.64 Week 1 1223.64 April 29, 2019 1342.69 119.17 April 30, 2019 1481.1 138.41 May 1, 2019 1669.95 188.85 May 2, 2019 1786.39 116.44 May 3, 2019 1915.53 129.14 May 4, 2019 2077.06 161.53 May 5, 2019 2193.74 116.68 Weekend 2 403 Week 2 970.22

This is a good article that is tangentially related this thread, and very much related to the board's interests generally: https://thehustle.co/why-is-movie-theater-popcorn-so-outrageously-expensive/?curator=MediaREDEF The cinemark ratio (1/1.8) is 55.5% which matches the detailed Harry Potter revenue sheet from that court case that said the movie lost a zillion dollars. Doesn't match the 70% quoted before. Also of interest: (not sure if there's a better thread for this)

Downton Abbey is doing really well in my area both on the 12th and the 19th. If it's representative I'm gonna say at least $2m for the pre-previews and anywhere from $4-8m for actual opening night previews.

Thanks but I'm about to give those points back to you with Joker

Aug 11 863.84 (+95.23) Aug 18 940.88 (+77.04) Aug 25 1000.78 (+59.89) Sept 1 1046.33 (+45.55) Sept 8 1071.01 (+24.68) I think $1115m or so, about 45 more.

To me it looks like a 50-75m domestic type of movie.

11.5+30.5+36+22

I'm not predicting any movies to hit a billion right now, but there are enough potentials that I think there will be at least one for the year. 750 - Mulan 800 - Bond 850 - Black Widow 900 - Fast 9 750 - WW84 850 - Minions 700 - Tenet Outside shot for one of the pixar or disney animated ones out of the three scheduled.

That $87M-plus estimated production is expected to only gas up between $17.5M-19M Downton Abbey which is on fire in pre-sales ahead of Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again! is only estimated to open between $15M-$16M stripper caper Hustlers is still looking great on tracking reports with an anticipated 3-day of $26M when it opens on Sept. 12
