Am not suggesting it as a comp per se just noting that TLM had really strong presales despite those garbage trailers. Guess missed opportunity.
could have done billie or close with better lead like Zendaya.
As I posted y’day, walkups were incredible.
In fact the final 3 days have been awesome. A week out there was genuine chance of it ending sub $40M but turned out strongly in final days to looking like high 40s and with great walkups now $52m+
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes MiniTC2 Final
Thursday - 8917/50526 (183 showings) $115K
Very strong walkups. Considering where sales were a day prior, even 7K would have been a good result. This would normally mean $5.5-5.75M THU. Based on MTC1 nos. probably $5.5M likely.
So lot of complains about low opening of Fall Guy. Just watched its trailer. Couldn't get a single laugh. $28M seems right about what it should open to. Anyone expecting higher is their fault.
ATP of $20 for THU? Seems VERY HIGH. Civil War actual gross was well short last week vs tracked and checking on that, ATP there was $19 T-1. Wonder if something off there.
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace MiniTC2 T-3 Days
Friday - 1840/21533 (116 showings) $22K
Saturday - 2962/23072 (121 showings) $44K
Surprised by SAT being so ahead in sales. Wonder if this is universally the case or just MiniTC2.
Comps (FRI)
1.57x of Avatar gross - $5.2M
1.73x Titanic - $4.7M
Depending on how wide the release is, can see $3M+ FRI, may be even $4M.
