Eric Prime

Sony's following the Jumanji route with this one, so if you have a Prime account, and don't have anything planned for June 30, then...see it? I guess? Link for those interested: https://www.amazon.com/adlp/hotelt

Detective Pikachu, Uglydolls, Minecraft, Dora the Explorer, Playmobil, Angry Birds, Sonic, He-Man. Studios are really bringing out the big guns next year.

@CoolioD1 Tell your brother I think he has a great beard.

Jurassic World 2 1166 3616 32.25% Comps (the following are final totals before their preview, not at the same point in time): 641% of Blade Runner ($209.8M) 128% of Thor: Ragnarok ($156.7M) 83% of Justice League ($77.9M) 583% of Jumanji ($210.9M) 540% of Ready Player One ($225.4M) 69% of Deadpool 2 ($86.8M) 108% of Solo ($91.2M) 46% of Incredibles 2 ($83.4M) Now I'm a touch concerned. I thought there would be a bit more of an uptick in ticket sales, but it only went up about 181. Not stagnant, but it should still be doing a bit better.

And nothing of value was lost.

Limited or wide?

Rob, I don't know why we have to keep telling you this, but no one wants your motion capture movies.

TOG.

Looks good.

Moving to February 1, 2019, aka Super Bowl weekend.

Oh yeah, it's also expanding on November 16, then goes wide on November 21.

Release date after the US midterm elections. Cute little decision Sony.

Jurassic World 2 985 3616 27.24% A couple more showtimes were added. Comps (the following are final totals before their previews, not at the same point in time): 541% of Blade Runner ($177.3M) 108% of Thor: Ragnarok ($132.4M) 70% of Justice League ($65.8M) 492% of Jumanji ($178.1M) 456% of Ready Player One ($190.4M) 58% of Deadpool 2 ($73.4M) 91% of Solo ($77.1M) 38% of Incredibles 2 ($70.4M) Bit more reassuring, but still tricky to determine. Ragnarok still seems like the best comparison atm. In terms of tickets sold in total, it'll beat out Solo tomorrow. Could be on track with getting close to Deadpool 2's 1685 tickets.

Gotta fight the trolls with their keyboards

It's Discount Tuesday. What did you expect? EDIT: @george and wondy spidermanpoint.jpg

Jurassic World 2 722 2877 25.10% Comps (the following are their final totals before their previews, not at the same point in time): 397% of Blade Runner ($130M) 79% of Thor: Ragnarok ($97.1M) 51% of Justice League ($48.3M) 361% of Jumanji ($130.6M) 334% of Ready Player One ($139.6M) 43% of Deadpool 2 ($53.8M) 67% of Solo ($56.5M) 28% of Incredibles 2 ($51.6M) 🤔 Obviously these aren't perfect correlations, because these comps had three more days of ticket sales, but it's one that's really hard to determine either way. Thor: Ragnarok seems like the safest comparison in terms of walk-up driven franchises, but with the latter three all being summer releases, it does make things seem bleak. But ofc, it's too early to tell.

@Porthos

You better see Nutcracker 5 times in the theater buck-o.

Hey, at least my Mamma Mia club's in good standing.

I was doing my presales thing and I noticed that on June 30, Hotel Transylvania 3 has a 3 PM showing on that day. Does anyone else have that happening at their theaters? Sony did advance previews with Smurfs and Jumanji last year, so it makes sense Sony would do it for this film. Also, it hasn't sold anything. When you try to buy tickets, it actually leads to a 404, I assume because it was just added into the site's database.
