north Posted just now So-just doing Montreal I was only being given 4 theatres for the area, If I want to do quebec proper I may have to do more breaking down, but I figured I would use Montreal, and throw in Halifax (Nova Scotia), Moncton (New Brunswick) and St Johns (New Foundland) Still in the early testing phases here, but this gives us an East of Ontario look.

Right now both Calgary and Toronto are showing much more sales in 3D/AVX/HFR/insert cool sounding bunch of letters here than the 2D shows, so far by a decent margin. Im sure when I check Montreal tomorrow it will be same. Be interesting to see how that trend continues forward.

There is a Lady/Gent who I believe covers Vancouver/BC? I didn't want to step on toes in that case. I'll happily do Vancouver if BC isn't being covered, I seem to remember there is someone who does (unless my memory is bad lol)?

Im starting with Calgary today, next will be Toronto tomorrow, and Montreal on Thurs. I will then come back to Calgary with a update from last take, and so forth with the other cities. Oh and now for the first time those lovely letters "HFR" are showing up on my seat counts (Im guessing this will be Hollywoods new toy when the movies proceeds to become a money tree) For my sanity I am doing Thurs ONLY right now, there will be no comps, just pretty much data. Fridays I will work on when are within a week or so of the opening (because Cineplex likes to wait till that time to drop majority of inventory). I am doing this for avatar only. If I actually am okay with this, I may carry this idea to other movies to get a more Canada wide look. Hopefully I do not end up saying:

Right....so, I had a thought (yes it hurt). I don't have any real comps for Avatar on my end...Like maybe MCU (?), but very little. So Im thinking of doing something different for Avatar. Im thinking (haven't decided fully yet), if I might just do 3 top ten theatre areas in Canada (Maybe like Toronto, Montreal, maybe Edmonton or Calgary-I won't step on the person doing BC's toes ). Won't be doing comps but will be doing the usual seat counts so theres more of a geographic overview of Canada. IF (thats a big IF) I do this, Im NOT doing essentially 30 theatres a day, at least not until like a week before opening I would try to alternate between 3 cities, one a day, (IE Toronto day 1, Montreal Day 2, Calgary day 3, Day 4 Toronto with change in how much sold prior). If Im stepping on anyones toes let me know. Still havent decided fully, but am leaning that way.

*laughing* ha! Suckers, up here in Ontario they wait until a couple of weeks before, so get a nice extra break *Logs into Cineplex. Avatar 2 tickets available*... .... Sigh.....So it Begins (in Canada)

9 am showtimes? Wow, thats...wow. Does anyone know if either of the inifinity war movies were that early? This is going to be so much fun.... Edit for the record, Cineplex up here in Ontario is merely showing "coming soon" so imagine Monday they might start popping in-but who knows for sure with Cineplex.

Im looking at these films that are being discussed right now, and their box office take, and its cool to be reading and studying these films. I just see that Avatar pre-sales coming over the horizon, and when it hits, the forum will hit crazyville. In the meantime its nice to see the quiet talk and discussion while we can. A calm before the storm if you will

Thank you so much for those numbers! @charlie Jatinder

Somewhere a Disney/Marvel exec is saying "Write those down! Write those down!!" AHEM....getting BACK to the thread (sorry for the slight derailment) Have to admit this particular film has been really interesting to see how the Box Office was going to play out, will be interesting to see the final numbers for the weekend.

*walking into the thread* Hey everyone how are the numb... "Its Magic!" "Its Porthos fault!" "Black Magic!" "Theres funny business afoot!" "slowly walks backwards out the door Homer Simpson style trying to be very quiet" I don't know what I just walked into-do I want to know??

Yea, SW/Toronto area is a pretty dense area and will def skew the numbers a bit (heck even looking at numbers between the SW theatres alone, there was some funkiness with some theatres really getting sales while others were pretty quiet. And SW/Tor is one area in isolation, now maybe if started doing East coast numbers and maybe West numbers..... Nope nope nope that way leads to true darkness as far as my sanity is concerned....

Again unoffical comps-is selling about 7000 more than Thor4, 3000 More than Dr Strange too-big boost for Friday sales recently it seems. I thought I posted this in this thread but maybe not-if so apologies for double post. Not going to try and estimate Ontario numbers....well I mean if you bent my arm fine 7.5 Mil OD for Canada incl Thurs? Maybe? For US I don't know, seeing the to and fro about what US numbers will do esp with a holiday....Im not that brave!
