That's the error in the total sales calculation. Ignore those numbers for now. Tickets sold should be correct. -

The even bigger issue for scrapers (I think Keyser ran into this earlier as well) is that "unavailable" seats in DBOX showings have to be dealt with separately, since all the regular seats are marked as unavailable regardless of whether they are sold. That usually adds several times the actual ticket count (I think I got 42k for BW before I fixed this error and it dropped to 19k, it's probably worse for smaller films). My guess here is that Keyser fixed that big error but not the "DBOX seats greyed out in normal showings error", since that affects the number by a much smaller percentage. That would explain the discrepancy in our numbers. -

MTC2 Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard (300 theaters) Tuesday: Showtimes: 1044 Sold: 1734/159529 Wednesday: Showtimes: 1956 Sold: 1961/322161 There is an issue with my calculation of total $ gross. So I will leave that out for now while I try to ferret it out. -

That could contribute to it, but I think the bigger issue is just that DBOX seats show up as "unavailable" in regular showings even if not actually unavailable. I had to subtract them out, then add back in any DBOX seats that were actually sold, but I may have been overzealous somehow. -

Most likely, either Keyser is double counting DBOX showings or my subtraction of the DBOX "sold" seats is subtracting too much. I tested it with my local theater but they are tricky to handle. -

Question to other trackers, have you guys been including social distancing blocked seats in the "Seats Available/Total Seats" number? -

So Cinemark has dropped social distancing seats right? That would explain why my script is coming up with zeros for those seats when I'm trying to test. -

Idk if In the Heights should be taken as some barometer of the BO if it has a disappointing opening as sales seem to indicate. I'm not sure where such confidence that it would've done well in normal times came from? Musicals can be hit-or-miss at the BO. -

Are yesterdays and today's numbers flipped or something? It went down 78 instead of up. -

Not before they open. My script still has issues.
