Sure, it can do 40K which will be like what $1.5M? $2M? What I am suggesting is take THU alone comps and add $2M to them for EAs. Right now those EA sales are comping around $5-7M if we do direct comps.

In last 10 days early shows have added 5K in MTC1, I don’t expect them to add much as most locs those 1-2 shows are already full. Anyways, I respect your opinion, I just stated what I normally do when the early shows are earlier than Tuesday or Wednesday. Normally we don’t get Monday ones but if we do, would mostly ignore them.

Came to thread to post this but this is the first comment I saw, so I guess..

BTW would suggest y'all to not include EA sales for Dune in comps. Yeah I was probably one who first recommended to add EA sales in previews for comps but that is when EA is 1 or 2 days before actual previews. Here its in previous week, 4 days before actual previews. That's 1. Skewing comps for full 4 days for a large chunk of sales. Take Sacramento for example, of 1.7K total sales, 600 are T-19 while 1000+ are T-23. 2. Too far out of actual preview to do big burn in previews sales, also just 1 show in most locs but would be very presales heavy.

That Reddit post did good job at putting a summary of this thread…

Netflix I think is making money but when judging the Apple TV films or other streamers giving theatrical release to their films, you can't do it like the traditional studio model but by how you will judge a Netflix film.

Those $200M price tags are common with streaming films. The only thing these films need to cover is their release cost, rest is pretty much bonus which they wouldn’t have got a penny of if those were dumped directly to streaming. That said, Napoleon did $220M. Thats pretty good number. KoTM did $160M, again not bad at all. Irishman made closer to $0 for Netflix with similar budget.

I think since they have a BIG day in the start, rest of day will remain low. That's kind of how big holiday on first day sales work and VD is generally pre-sales heavy. That said, Bob Marley being that low is just awful.

That Madame Web gotta be most off predict in long time I feel.

Yikes. That's a very bad final day. I know you were saying previous days were bad but kind of felt okay to me but today is truly a bad day.

So MTC 1 started late? My data is way way way higher. Color Purple comp for me is 45% though TCP underindexed for me and this may be overindexing.

Dune will also face same issue though probably not as bad as Oppy but Oppy also got a big push due to barbenheimer which wont happen here.

Before 2023, Indian films used to release of 30 odd cineplex locs and 7-8 Landmark. Now its gone to nearly 90 in Cineplex and 10-15 Landmark. Soon they may start covering 125+ Cineplex.

Previews pace is very good I would say.

and that's why I used T-7, by then its all common playground.

The only MCU title with direct Day & Date streaming in some form is Black Widow. That was 87K and ended with 247K.

Dune 1 was more presales heavier & frontloaded than 2021 MCU films iirc. Oppy is good comp though, Wonka naah. T-7 Dune was 40K in MTC1 & ended with 95K. Marvels was 56K & ended with 135K. Eternals, which had abysmal ending was 78K & ended with 185K.

This is bad. Should be selling much better in just IMAX shows.

Another addition could be adding EA and Previews gross. Sometime studios dont separate them, not a big issue at that time but in future there is lack of comp information.

Eh. Was just joking. Ofc you can dislike or find anything overrated. Its totally subjective. Fans are always confident of everything. Cant expect them to be reasonable. Always had my doubts on film like Dunki doing big in current times. It has done decent enough, so that’s it.

You are overrated

That’s a strech. Avatar 2 barely made 10M admits. Avatar 5 will open well under Avatar 2 IMO.

Its more like Avatar didnt open all that big in SEA

Are you including Early shows in these?
