12PM - 40K Meh pace. May be just 55K final but not a bad hold from 75K Culture Day OD, though tomorrow being holiday could have been better,

Seems like a meh day in MiniTC2 with pace coming back to pre Monday level against Oppy/Av2.

I used actual raw gross of Dune 1 and Dune 2.

Based on rest of Europe, it must. Prob 12+.

Comp with Dune 1 THU T-7: 184% -4: 182% -3: 188% -2: 187% ($9.53M, inf adj $10M) FRI T-7: 188% -4: 187% -3: 190% -2: 188% ($23.3M, inf adj $25M) Dune 1 had poor walkups on final day, Dune 2 has potential to improve there a bit, unless ofc it repeats as well

Abysmal walkups but not entirely surprising. CGV final may be 76-77K type for 160K OD. Weekend may be 850-900K.

90k previews

Kung Fu Panda 4 MiniTC2 T-9 Days Previews - 238/33625 (157 showings) Comps 1.83x Elemental - $4.4M 2.34x Trolls 3 - $3M 0.32x Minions 2 - $3.5M 0.76x Haunted Mansion - $2.4M

Oppy had 1592k 6 days weekend and 1050k ish 5 days.

Dune 2 MiniTC2 T-2 Days Thursday - 5282/56989 (223 showings) Comps 0.97x Oppy - $10.2M 0.51x Avatar 2 - $8.7M Oppy comp started dropping again though daily pace is up from last week when it looked like will drop to $9-9.5M type final. It still may but Oppy had very low sales on final day which this should be able to meet. In limited sample of best locs, tix sold are 74% of Dune 1 final number. The only IMAX I have has outsold Dune 1 due to 1 extra IMAX show. In comparison MTC 1 is 17% ahead of Dune 1 final. Either MTC 1 is way overindexing due to that 1 extra IMAX show or I am underindexing.

So it was indeed an anomaly. Good to see that. Still a pretty great opening but better to have it follow the trend.

Korea and China used to be very interesting markets with data heaven. Shame they have become nothing markets Post CoVID.

MTC 1 ATP is around 5% up from Dune 1. Can just take 5-10% higher ATP, its no big deal I feel.

I would go on to say, ignore everything else and just Oppy comp is what really matters. For those who have Dune 1, that's probably even better.

Last I heard for GB2 was Feb 26th, which is gone. G*K on March 5th. Edit: GB2 is 29th now.

From a preliminary run of MiniTC2, still seems higher than last week averages but not the crazy day it had yesterday.

Shit. Then its even worse. Culture Day is presales heavy IIRC. Will lower weekend forecast then I guess. Say ~200K OD. 200 + 125 + 175 + 375 + 325+ = 1200K if it does great on low end something like 180 + 100 + 130 + 300 + 260 = 970K.

Also been while since checked CGV. Guess 95-100K final CGV for 200K OD. Weekend probably 1.3-1.4M.

I didn't check Korea for a while but think Dune is much more likely to open than Wonka.

.

If yesterday wasn't an anomaly I can see it hit 100 on high end. lets see how it ends the presales.

323K final. Quit ordinary finish.

Dune 2 HOYTS T-1 Day THU - 7994/78646 FRI - 7122/78746 I guess A$1.5M+ THU. A$2M+ FRI. Weekend probably A$10M.

Kung Fu Panda 4 MiniTC2 T-10 Days Previews - 208/31414 (147 showings Comps 1.90x Elemental - $4.5M 2.31x Trolls 3 - $3M 0.30x Minions 2 - $3.2M

Dune 2 MiniTC2 T-3 Days Thursday - 4573/56913 (222 showings) Comps 0.99x Oppy - $10.4M 0.50x Avatar 2 - $8.5M Oppy comp stopped bleeding with pace reaching quite similar after being around 75% last week. Even Avatar 2 hit 65% mark after being in 30s for some time.
