Porthos is false prophet

be around 3.9 today.

Hmm. Expecting 3-3.5M tomorrow. Not surprising, since we already knew, but yikes.

Did you check sales a day before? I thought you were checking just FrI

How are THU sales for both?

That’s a ridiculous jump lol Edit: hmm. There was T mobile offer but still insane.

You can do a tweet after some time in reply with “in India”.

Full day or half day doesn’t really matter on weekdays. I know sales after VD are shit but VD alone is absolutely incredible.

Generally, it would have dropped yesterday being Saturday, an increase from an already huge pace is insane. I know something gonna/gotta go wrong for this eventually but this is kind of annoying. I don't know why you aren't impressed by pace though. 7.7K is insanity. Barbie had 11K on SAT before release.

Avatar was also re-released under Fox banner. Disney keep the banner in tact, they simply own it.

Yeah, but the pace is still way too high.

That's a huge jump for VD. Not sure if there is actually momentum or MTC 1 is just catching up late start.

VD is good but FRI is poor. How is THU.

Huh? Those are some really high expectations. It will be great if it cross $1M weekend

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.
