The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
Menor the Destroyer replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
Dune at MTC2 is at 56030/261888, $745765. Will probably final at 58k. Definitely slowed down in the late hours (runtime also might contribute to that). Will finish around 90% of Bond, though with MTC1 doing better, I will stick with ~5m. Friday final PS is looking like ~52k though I won't have full numbers tonight. Running about 70% of Bond pretty consistently, so I think 11-12m seems likely for true Friday. Hopefully MTC1 is better. -
Thinking about it, probably my only major issue with the movie was that the score got really overbearing at times. Felt like Zimmer was trying to blast my ears out in some of the scenes. The visuals were excellent, and I felt like some scenes could have just let them breathe a bit with a more understated score.

It was moving at 3.8k per hour last I checked at MTC2 which is pretty good and on par with TSS (which had better walkups than Bond). I think at the very least it won't miss what I put in the afternoon and could go higher. -

We'll see. I am using Bond as a comp which also skewed toward MTC1 (though not quite as heavily). -

Afternoon update: Dune is at 39270/259745, $537532. Think it's headed for a 60k finish, which would point at right around the 5m range I think? Let's see where MTC1 lands. -

Yep. Google Trends to predict the OW is only useful when you're really far in advance and have little other data. When we're this close and have specific presale data, it's useless. For example, people would likely search "Bond" rather than "No Time to Die", and while Google's Topics usually capture that sort of thing, it isn't perfect. -

MTC2 presales are looking to be closer to 70% of NTTD, so using the MTC1 comp alone may overindex. That said MTC2 may be underindexing more than MTC1 over, especially with little IMAX in the chain. -

Morning start is 33617/259745, $463866. Decent start, it's pacing similarly to TSS. If it can keep matching TSS walkups, will finish ahead of Bond. -

The BW comp is ok I think, it's been 10 days vs 13 so things will have normalized. But for SC if you bring it back it'll have 4 days vs 11, still seems a bit too skewed. -

Sorry, had to step out last night, so posting the #s from last night now. These are 24-hour paces though, just posted late. Dune MTC2 Thursday: Showtimes: 1814 (+105) Seats Sold: 28837/257650 (+5262) Total $ Sales: 400990 (+70846) NTTD Comp: 4.7 million Not too bad of a jump here. It kept pace with Bond's jump for today. Hopefully it can at least have slightly better walkups (Bond's were not good at all). Friday: Showtimes: 3540 (+130) Seats Sold: 36896/532456 (+7350) Total $ Sales: 476207 (+90566) NTTD Comp: 12.3 million Not a great jump here. I am dropping my 14 million prediction for Friday to 11.5 million. OW in the 35-37 million range. Eternals MTC2 Thursday: Showtimes: 1966 Seats Sold: 25542/320507 (+1879) Total $ Sales: 364671 (+26480) Black Widow Comp (Ontario adjusted, no ATP adjustment): 9.2 million Friday: Showtimes: 3713 Seats Sold: 17453/620366 (+1288) Total $ Sales: 234432 (+17520) Black Widow Comp (Ontario adjusted, no ATP adjustment): 20.7 million Keeping a good pace after the social bump. Hopefully it continues. -
I mean this list is self contradictory, if Chani is Padme then Paul is Anakin, but your first statement is saying Paul is Luke (completely different characters regardless of surface level similarity). Same thing with Jedi and BG, you can find similarity but what they actually do in the narrative is quite different. The CHOAM and Trade Federation comparison also seems rather thin to me, again considering their respective roles in the story.

Classic Conversation Thread
Menor the Destroyer replied to Water Bottle's topic in Box Office Discussion
Feeling good. Hopefully the Astros don't choke this. -
The OT has politics that is almost completely uncontroversial in the West, at least on the surface. There is a Vietnam allegory but it's extremely hidden. That's why it wasn't noticed. There was outcry in TFA even from the trailer when people saw a black stormtrooper. There were calls to boycott Rogue One before the movie was even out because people thought it was "political" to have a diverse cast. Besides "politics that fits into the universe", in practice, usually means "politics that I agree with."

TSS probably ~40 without HBO Max (based on the UK opening). Dune has a more committed fanbase, so spitballing would maybe add 30% with no Max? Would need to open in the high 50s to justify the 75m without Max. -

Safe? Definitely not. The presales aren't that far behind BW, and it should have better late bumps since the characters aren't well known. I would be quite surprised if it didn't open higher than BW. Also with the BW comparison, remember BW had an awful Sat. Eternals is opening during the school year and is theatrical exclusive, will have a much better weekend trend.
