NTTD is still 3rd. BFI numbers are the authority on UK box office, numbers reported there are by distributors.
comScore numbers, which are missing some locations are
NTTD - £96,703,485
NWH - £96,523,193
It is highest pre-sold movie from Bollywood. Hollywood is a lot more pre-sales heavy. At same time DSitMoM had 85K tix sold in PVR and 188K in PVR + INOX + Cinepolis for opening day while Brahmastra was 50K in PVR & 95K in PIC. Overall sales were 285K while Brahmastra was around 120K.
NWH was even higher.
We actually do nothing in normal course as the numbers reported are actual sales.
e.g. this was PVR sales today morning
There are some who scrap BMS and other websites data. There you would have to remove these. e.g. Today morning, there were 82,858 tickets sold in PVR on 1,142 shows in BMS scrapped data. There are around 32K blocked seats in those 1142 shows.
I never believed that boycott were the reason. The films were just not good. I didn't like trailer for Brahmastra either, so thought it will join the list.
So I was wrong. Brahmastra is recording very good advance sales. ₹2.5cr (₹2.1cr NETT) pre-sales for OD so far and ₹5.2cr (₹4.2cr NETT) weekend. Final pre-sales ₹20cr (₹17cr NETT) for weekend possible.
OD looks like ₹30cr+ (₹25cr NETT+), weekend if film is liked can be ₹110cr (₹90cr NETT).
Ok, one thing I forget was that as every cinema was selling $3, the chains which have higher ATP generally will be under indexing, like AMC. And something like Harkins, Marcus would over index. So all of these numbers shall be lower. By how much, need to see.
Super Pets seems like overindexed a lot in Harkins. Nos. I am seeing point towards $2.5-2.75M. Similarily BT. Top Gun seems about right. Also NWH.
