    This is an oddly really good drop compared to past late September animation. -73% compared to:  
    Smallfoot -84%

    Ninjago -86.6%

    Storks -85%

    HT2 -84%

    Boxtrolls -85% 

    Cloudy Meatballs 2 -86%

    HT1 -86%

     

    Viewed another way its 27% hold is basically double what these did (near exactly double Ninjago's hold). Was there a Canadian holiday or something?

    Yesterday was Rosh Hashanah. Couple school districts out. See September 10th of last year

    Just took a spin around Sacramento for Maleficent 2, and you know what?  It's not that terrible for a film 28 days out.  I don't have many entries for family films that far out.  In fact, all I have is Pika Pika, which had been on sale for only two days at that point.

     

    Right now Maleficent 2 is running at about 94.3% of Pika Pika (5.38m).

     

    Now, lots of caveats as always.  Pika Pika started sales at T-29 and I'm using it's final number for the equivalent day, while Maleficent 2 has had tickets on sale for, what a little more than a week now?  So a little bit of a lead time for it. Also Pika Pika didn't do THAT terrible in its T-26 to T-14 time frame, and I don't have any idea if Maleficent 2 can match it on those days if early demand has already been burnt.


    Still, 199 tickets sold region wide a month before release for a family film isn't a disaster by any means.  Not a sign of a breakout either, though.  But, yeah.  5m previews might indeed be on the table.  Might take another look in a week or so and see if the direct comp against Pika Pika is holding or not.

    *thinks*

     

    As ludicrous as the comp is, Maleficent 2 is doing 2.26x Hobbs and Shaw (13.11m) at the same point in time, and they had similar pre-sale length.  Perhaps slightly more on point is that Maleficent 2 is doing 40.9% of It 2, which also had a relatively long pre-sale window, and that comps to 4.3m.  

     

    So comping somewhere between 4.3 and 5.3m at the moment?  Maybe?  10x that (which sounds right for a family film that has 7pm previews) and we get 43m to 53m?  Maybe 45m to 50m if we want to tighten the range?

     

    Maybe tracking IS on point after all.

    If anything, 4.3-5.3 would mean that Deadline is lowballing the tracking a bit. Have to think multi is at least a 12x in october

    re: TLK's internal multi.

     

    I have been harping on the fact that there were a TON of showtimes on preview night and how that might impact the internal multi for weeks now.  I think we can't ignore that when we compare TLK to films that didn't come close to the same number of showtimes on opening night.

    Not to mention that even though both are summer, July is a far cry from June

    Did TS4 get the double feature boost from TLK I expected for Aladdin? Amazing hold. Totally locked to beat TS3 now and maybe by a decent margin too.

    Not like either film needed it to hit the milestones, but toy story 4 did get the majority of them

    I know it's not an all time juggernaut. At best it's a slightly more successful BatB. At worst, it's Ultron 2.0. Far cry from the movie that was supposed to break the box office. 

    Youll end up as an outlier as well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    No, but 500 is far from a lock. Not gonna be nearly as big of a fail for me as all of the people who said 600+ and especially not those who said 800+ (and there were many). 

    Youve seen 1 day of actual numbers. You know pretty much nothing
