    Mods are too drunk clearly!

    It happens every boxing day, but a rainy day in Melbourne would mean hundreds of thousands of people around Australia who would be watching it would suddenly not have anything to do as play would be suspended.

    Well the test match did happen, the rain stopped falling before we opened and our admits weren't that amazing. I'd expect around $5m with our numbers today, but who knows how we translate to the nationwide number with so many variables. Daddy's Home was #2 with Alvin and the Good Dinosaur a bit behind here.

    So Victoria really led the way with Christmas day with Village Cinemas alone having a 30%+ market share for all films. So my sites results were sadly not representative of the nation and star wars only made roughly $600k for a $2.75m week to date total. This morning is also surprisingly quite, Alvin is barely pulling in anyone. Hopefully Star Wars can pull in the crowds this afternoon!

    I'd assume both would easily be records. We smashed our Christmas Eve/Day records at my site.

    Christmas Eve was $2.1m roughly. If we go by my site's numbers Christmas day would be $1.5m. With the pouring rain and the cancellation of the boxing day test, it's definitely going to be a crazy day for us!

    Today was around a 50% drop from yesterday for Star Wars at my work. Still our busiest Christmas Eve ever with Star Wars making more then any other Christmas Eve with all films combined (except in 2002). Tomorrow will be an interesting day, no idea how it'll play. It's 35C in Melbourne which might help drive families to the cinemas in the evening.

    So $100m would put it at sixth on the all time admissions chart? I'd say that's almost certain now with two more weeks of peak holidays coming up. How much does it need to beat Star Wars admissions?
  9. Ball Lightning
    Today was a pretty decent drop at my work from yesterday. I wouldn't be surprised with a $3m-$3.3m day today.
  10. Ball Lightning
    That's... Insanely crazy!
  11. Ball Lightning
    Last night was definitely insane! Still, just below $4m is mind boggling! I'd think a lot of that would have been spillover, so I can't see it being higher until Boxing Day. But I'd expect today to be around $3.5m, with tomorrow around $3m. $37.5m week $40m Christmas Eve $42.5m Christmas Day $48.5m Boxing Day $52.5m by end of second weekend It could get to $50m by the end of boxing day but it would have to continue to exceed it's expectations! $8m weekdays $2m Thursday $4m Friday $4m Saturday $3.5m Sunday $74m coming out into the new year!

    Rth said it dropped 1% in the US SW's thread, so a $6.2m Sunday. Beyond insane. I'd expect over $3m each day until Boxing Day except maybe Christmas Eve. So $42m total leading into Boxing Day...

    Now both Australia and UK have had flat Saturday to Sunday drops, next up is the US...
  14. Ball Lightning
    Now we just need America to follow what has happened in Australia where we had a flat Saturday to Sunday drop.... Drops are looking amazing for this in Australia at least!
  15. Ball Lightning
    It's going to be an absolutely insane next two weeks for us.. Particularly if we get another heatwave or two. My sites presales for tomorrow are already roughly 25% of today's admits. And that's a Monday. I'd say tomorrow's drop could be under 50%. Which would be crazy!
  16. Ball Lightning
    My site actually increased from yesterday in admits and in box office!! I doubt it would be reflective across the nation though, Melbourne's weather has been special.. Edit: Missed Rth's post, looks like my site was in line with the nation!
  17. Ball Lightning
    And I meant to say that was against boxing day, which was our sites single biggest day for any one film.
  18. Ball Lightning
    With presales we're now sitting around how many admits we had on Thursday excluding midnights, which for us is around the same as the Avengers opening day. With plenty of tickets to sell tonight it's going to be a massive day! 3D share is also currently bigger today. Definitely $6m+, I could easily see it doing over $7m. I would even say $8m is on the cards. Though to put it in comparison, today's total is only at 60% of the tickets sold for RotK but it's equal in dollars.
  19. Ball Lightning
    Our box office from today including presales is just over what we made yesterday.. And it's not midday yet!
  20. Ball Lightning
    $5.2m-$5.3m for Friday for a hefty $14.7m total. With a bigger result likely today, the OW record will be obliterated this evening. $9.4m $5.3m $6.1m $5.5m Total: $26.3m is my guess.
  21. Ball Lightning
    Yeah it was a number from early in the morning here, I'd say all the late reporting from the 3am sessions etc would bump it up!
  22. Ball Lightning
    $2.12m for midnights last night! Absolutely insane!
  23. Ball Lightning
    We are getting a lovely heat wave in Melbourne, Thursday through to Saturday (39C), so that should help drive sales even higher here! Midnights ended up 25% higher at my site then the HP7.2 and SW3 midnights did. Tomorrow already has a ridiculous amount of tickets sold. Over $40k for Saturday too!
  24. Ball Lightning
    But nothing stops Star Wars. Looks like they're opening back up!
  25. Ball Lightning
    Currently our presales for tomorrow (tonight included) at my site are sitting at 80% of our final sales for The Avengers on Anzac Day and getting close to the final ticket sales for the last Harry Potter movie. Opening day record is going down. Weekend presales are significantly less, but still very strong.
