Porthos

Hustlers crossed 100m this weekend, making it number 22 on the list. Maleficent 2 looks pretty likely unless the bottom falls out. The Addams Family has a decent shot as well now, I think. Gonna depend on drops, but it's still looking to sneak over it. Downton Abbey, on the other hand, is gonna need a lot of help as it keeps looking like it'll just miss in the 97-98 range. But maybe it'll get an expansion/boost somewhere along the line. Gemini Man is DOA.

That's also what the report button is for.

Counter: Is there such a thing as a good cell phone provider?

Looks like it works like this: Wireless: everyone on unlimited data plan. FIOS and 5G home: new customers. Disney is NOT fucking around with its D+ service!!! edit::: For people who pre-ordered: So folks who have Verizon who bought the three-year plan at a discount suddenly saw it turn into a FOUR YEAR bargain!!!!!

In case people don't feel like Googling it, or didn't already know, yes this is a real park. Sadly, not an amusement theme park, as one might guess from the baseball next to the logo: MCU Park - home to the Brooklyn Cyclones

On the formatting there, that is.

FWIW, TROS (CM/EG adj) is 131 tickets behind the T-1 mark for TLK locally, so that seems broadly in line with your results there.

I'm still not sure if I'm going to roll over these five+ hours of sales into tomorrow's figures and call that my "Day One". By rights I should, following the precedent set by a few other movies I've tracked with late in the day starts. But man, I dunno. We'll see what it looks like tomorrow. Also, and ironically enough the very last theater I had to check, there was an instant sellout that I think is a glitch. It's for a theater that doesn't get all that much traffic, but it's theoretically possible that someone bought out a 10:30pm showing. At the moment I am not counting it, if only because I couldn't pull up the seat map. If it does continue to show as sold out, I'll probably follow the Endgame precedent and count it as a sellout but without trying to figure out the seats. Though I think I might be able to in this case. As always play it by ear. (Yes the sellout I have shown is legit. It was the local TrueIMAX showing)

Now for a ton of different reasons, the comps are all out of whack. EG had 24 days of pre-sales and TROS... has a few more. Even so, not too shabby. A direct comp-for-comp look against Captain Marvel, even spotting it a day, is asanine. At the same time, it's the only one I have with the same amount of days of pre-sales. Infinity War is interesting, not so much for the comp, though at 42 days of pre-sales, it's within spitting distance at least. No, it's more for the 5+ hour comparison with the 14+ hour comparison. IW sold 541 more tickets on its second day of sales (ie everything tomorrow), so TROS still handily beats it. And while I don't know what to expect locally tomorrow, it's still gonna grow some. Then there's poor Solo. I'm throwing that in for one reason and one reason only. SW comped to SW, even if one of them had 21 days of pre-sales and the other had 59+. More to the point... Final Number of tickets sold for Solo locally at stop of tracking: 5789. Total Number of tickets sold for TROS (adj) after five+ hours: 7158. If we do something of a comp, that would be 17.43m in Thursday sales ALREADY. Now, that's something of a blunt instrument. But I think it shows a decent idea of how it's already done. We'll see what the trades say after 24 hours of sales.

I know I said I wasn't going to do a full update after "only" 5+ hours of sales, but....

YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF MY IRRATIONAL FEARS!!!!!!

@Spaghetti learning the lessons well, I see.

Tickets have been on sale for three hours. The trailer dropped 75 minutes ago. It's 2019 so server capacity is greatly increased. I'M STILL HAVING OCCASIONAL CONNECTION TROUBLE TRYING TO LOG INTO FANDANGO!!! == Okay, not all the time. But I keep getting the occasional ERROR 500 message on Fandango. ... Makes me feel good, to be honest.

*coming up for air* Go ahead and laugh at me when I turn out to be wrong, but as I eye my seat maps this is gonna match IW's first 24 hours at the very least. I'm not even checking most of the PLF seats as I already know them and this thing is selling like hotcakes. Not EG level hotcakes, so don't get me wrong. But very very very healthy. I think I will go ahead and do an informal no-comp five hour check tonight around 10:30 or so my time and report the tickets sold so far.

Yes, but... Atom gained Cinemark but lost Regal in the meantime. Did add a bunch of other minor chains though. This is the bigger factor, in my mind. Tickets went on sale at 5am Pacific time. Even so, and even with those considerations a very strong start, IMO.

Just got to find the right servers. I AM ONE WITH THE SERVERS AND THE SERVERS ARE WITH ME

Got all my auditorium numbers, hit the Fandango wait room once (thank you being near West Coast servers). Now the long, tedious, process of building the seat maps. 👍

REGAL IS LIVE!!!!!!!!!

Hope you didn't put yourself in the poor house in the process! That is to say, congratulations. Prob should continue this in the CC thread, but I wanted to give a quick reply. ... Keeping this on topic, I'll consider this a great omen for TROS tonight!

Sure, but they're greyed out on Fandango right now (meaning you can't select it at all), but not on Regal. I'm basically mentioning this to folks who want to knock out auditorium numbers early. I just did about a third of the Sacto area thanks to this, for instance.

If anyone is tracking Regal theaters for TROS, you can check the auditorium number it is playing in by trying to purchase a ticket. It won't actually let you purchase yet, but this is a way to pre-get the auditorium number in case of fast sellouts as it is on the ticket purchase window. Not a huge concern for most, but for folks checking multiple theaters, it might help. Thinking @FlashMaster659's theaters for instance.

He's not very good at this whole non-denial denial, is he?

Stupid question, but is your scraper smart enough to differentiate between unavailable seats and actually sold seats? Because I know some theater chains don't differentiate between the two.

=== It's got a lot of potential. But I think we should hold off comparisons to one of the most popular TV shows of all time (at least until GoT's final season). (yes, I may be a SW Shill and Apologist. Doesn't mean I can't be a conservative/cautious one at times )

The other thing about Maleficent 2 is that our resident daily trackers thought there might be a mid 9 for True Friday at first before it continued strong through the day and did end up over 10m for True Fri after all. And the Sat bump was very respectable. On the other hand, AWiT (to pick a film Disney literally had to drag over the 100m line) was already showing weakness by this point. I know it's folly to over-interpret two days of data. There very well could be a finite pool for Maleficent 2 that it has already almost burnt up. On the other hand, maybe it will have decent legs. It still is a family film. It is calendar theme appropriate. It seems to be getting positive WoM from those who've seen it (again unlike AWiT). Not a hit by any means. But probably too soon to write it off.
