100-200k in daily numbers doesn’t really matter, especially on weekdays. Any sort of underreporting on weekdays is generally corrected on next Friday, sometime next day. Disney quite often.
Actuals aren’t really actuals to the last dollar
Spider-Verse 2 MiniTC2 T-24
Previews - 1580/66044 (263 showings) $23,406
Comps
1.55x Eternals first day of sales - $14.9M (adj for infl. ~$15.5M)
1.30x Black Widow first day of sales - $17.7M (adj for infl. ~$18.5M)
0.54x GoTG 3 first day of sales - $9.7M
Eternals started as a $12-13M previews & ended up around $9.5M, so that comp should be around BW as well.
Feel good for $15M+.
Oh you mean before pre-sales expectations?
I thought it was regarding reading Day 1 presales. I was actually expecting GoTG to start lower than Ant Man, so it wasn’t surprising. Not sure if I said that here, def said on Telegram group.
I think Day 1 sales for GoTG turned out pretty accurate. I remember my initial range was 17-20, reviews weren’t all that great to really push it in the end, but it ended up around 18.
This is one of the few films I hadn’t had to change my forecast even once from Day 1 of sales.
