    Tomorrow at my theater for Coco:

     

    10:30: 62/78

    11:45: 29/69

    1:30 3D: 2/78

    2:45 3D: 0/69

    4:30: 35/78

    5:45 3D: 0/69

    7:30 3D: 8/78

    8:45 3D: 0/69

    10:30: 4/78

    Total: 140/666

     

    I don't have any good comparisons, but this looks pretty strong considering that 3D is the only option for peaks hours.

    Jeez, this might be one of the few theaters that prioritize 3D like it's 2010.

  2. Last update for Coco and Event Picture Roman Israel, less than 1.5 hours before showtime.

     

    Coco 675 2327 29.01%
    Roman Israel 9 1491 0.60%

     

    Coco's 7 PM Tuesday show is nearly filled, while Wednesday has a sold out showing at 6. Every other day's doing pretty good as well.

     

    I'll likely give further updates on both movies on both Wednesday and Thursday morning.

    How many theatres is Man who Invented Xmas supposed to release in this weekend? Anyone know what the expansion plan is, and when it is?

    It's expected to open in 500 theaters this weekend. I assume expansion will depend on PTA.

    Coco 297 2327

    12.76%

     

    The needle for Coco hasn't moved much, with most of the tickets being sold for the Wednesday show, but these additional tickets were sold on a weekend day when most people aren't buying tickets to upcoming movies, so I don't know if it means much.

    Coco 485 2327 20.84%

     

    Just a day before previews, and Coco jumped to over 185 tickets. Don't know if that's good, because I have zero comps to work with, but that seems like a fine number, and I want all of the movie's naysayers to eat crow, so I'll just say that looks pretty good. :lol: 

     

    Also tonight, Roman J. Israel had gotten showtimes posted for this weekend, but no tickets have been sold yet. I assume presales will kick into high gear for the event picture of the Thanksgiving season tomorrow.

    The logic of everyone on these forums:

     

    Disney does another franchise film: “Wow, this looks amazing!  400M+ domestic!”

     

    Disney does something different: “This looks like a flop.  Tomorrowland numbers at best.”

    Yeah...because that’s what always happens when Disney does something different. Tomorrowland, Lone Ranger, John Carter, Prince of Persia. The last time Disney did something different live-action tentpole wise and turned out a success was...I guess Into the Woods.

    Star Wars 2573 4330 59.42%
    Fifty Shades 29 1921 1.51%

     

    Coco and Star Wars have gained a decent amount over the past three days, while Fifty Shades has stayed relatively stagnant, save for a few more tickets sold on Friday. Ferdinand and Greatest Showman also got showtimes posted this past Thursday, but neither has sold anything yet.

    Justice League and Wonder are still doing super solid, gaining 100+ tickets each. Coco also saw a decent amount of growth. I don't know when I last looked at Star Wars, but it definitely felt there was a sizable increase, and having presales over 50% (though its schedule still isn't finalized) is very impressive. Hail Ridley! Fifty Shades is brand-spankin' new, but it's severely frontloaded at the moment (as to be expected). 18 of the tickets are for Thursday, while Friday and Saturday have two each.

  7. Can't beat around the bush with this one. JL's opening was bad. Like, atrocious. While we can make plenty of reasons why it underperformed, (Poor reviews, the See It/Skip It stunt, lack of character familiarity), it's clear WB's attempt to recreate the MCU has been a bit of a hurdle. The upside though is that Aquaman, Wonder Woman 2, and possibly even Shazam will likely fare much better critic-wise and audience-wise, and Justice League likely won't have terrible legs. Its reception seems to be better than BvS, and it has the Thanksgiving frame to keep it safe. If its legs are less than 2.5 (effectively a <$240M gross) I would be surprised.

     

    Thankfully, Wonder is the true savior of the weekend. Props to Lionsgate for recognizing they had a mini-Blind Side on their hands, and it's refreshing to see a breakout live-action family film. I think the last live-action PG family feature hit that wasn't from was...Paddington? Regardless, it's certainly wonderful to see the film be such a success in a year dominated by mostly SH and horror flicks. As long as the film can co-exist with Coco next weekend, which is likely, I'll be very happy.

     

    Thor: Ragnarok's drop isn't very good, but understandable considering Justice League was playing next door. It's still set for $300M, which is great for both the Thor franchise and the MCU and Marvel Studios, considering they managed to release three $300M grossers in just one calendar year.

     

    Orient Express and Daddy's Home did okay enough, considering the mixed-ish WOM on both. Hopefully one of the two, or both, can cross $100M.

     

    The Star...didn't do terrible. After how much we ragged on it, this is a pretty solid gross, especially for something low-budget and geared towards a more niche audience than most other animated flicks. It'll probably leg it out during the Christmas season, and be a decent success for both Sony, Sony Animation, and Cinesite. HAIL OPRAH!

     

    Bad Moms has been holding super well, and while Bad Moms 3 and Bad Dads might be off the table, I think the brand itself will still survive through other means.

     

    Lady Bird did great as usual. Love it when A24 goes Slay-24 in the specialty market, and this will likely be A24's biggest grosser, unless Franco and Rogen have anything to say about it, which is even more impressive. HAIL SAORISE!

     

    Three Billboards also did pretty decently, while Roman Israel was sadly a flop. Maybe Denzel can get Oscar #3 next year.

    I haven't unfortunately. Hopefully @EmpireCity has. Could definitely see a big jump though with so little new competition over the holiday.

    Do you know how many theaters Man Who Invented Christmas will be in next weekend? I keep hearing differing statements about it going limited or wide over Thanksgiving.
