I just like surprising runs, high or low. At this point I'm watching closely to see how low things will get 😛
Maybe 54 Sat with current presales? We'll see.
OD looks around 55 RMB at this point (around $7.8M, just divide by 7 basically). So, yeah, if the Maoyan drops $40M would be missable. Atrocious, and other OS is not good at this point either. Unfortunate that what seems to be the best of 4 T2 sequels is paying for the sins of the first 3 -- but a good reminder that very very often with movies that are recieved poorly, the followup takes even more of the hit than the movie itself.
TLJ works even better 😛
But yes, the fact that SW is what came to mind first is a baaaaad sign.
I think the fundamentals of Termintaor can still be salvaged, but only if let sleep for a decade+ and preferably directed by Cameron.
Feeling a bit too busy for this with Survivor still active for me and some other stuff going on in my life. Planning to follow along as an observer and then join the 2020 summer games in earnest.
If it followed this exactly nationwide:
Joker 1.52M (-38%)
Mal 1.11M (-49%)
Would be better weekly drop than Mon/Tues for Mal, worse for Joker (but still a better weekly drop than Mal, 38% vs 40%).
The crazy thing is that 6 would already be a new yearly record. The 9 we've got very likely is a crazy 50% increase from that, and full 180% of the previous record. I don't think we'll see another year show the same growth in record number of movies past 1B, ever.
Interesting snippet from this roundtable (great btw, highly recommend the whole thing): https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/hollywood-reporter-executive-roundtable-7-major-studio-chiefs-1250718?
Just came here to post this. GREAT read. Also it's kind of wild to me that by "7 Hollywood studio chiefs" They mean the majors, plus Amazon and Netflix.
That netflix guy seems to really appreciate the storytelling power of the MCU, more than some of the traditional studio heads.
I get 97%.
Seems like you went 39% gross bump over ~97% sales bump, times a 180% sales bump. But actually the way to look at it is that Joker sold around 197% the tickets for 139% the gross, for about 70% yesterday's ATP for Joker. Multiply that by Mal doing 280% yesterday's sales gives roughly 197% yesterday's gross. With mal selling a different % of kids tickets ATP ratio may be a bit different though.
Of course, usual caveats about generalizing from a subset of theaters apply.
