The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread (December 2021 - July 2023)
Starphanluke replied to Cap's topic in Numbers and Data
Transformers doing decent (or at least not a disaster) in the US but collapsing overseas was not on my bingo card. Interested to see what walkups look like this weekend. My audience last night seemed to enjoy it. I feel like it's almost certainly going to play better to middle America. Flash tickets around me are super stagnant. No noticeable review bump at all. Plus, some slightly more positive Indy reactions are rolling in. Wonder if they will move the needle at all. -

Ehh, it seems to me like things are pointing to somewhere in the $40-55m range (with the caveat that it's hard to gauge what kind IM it will have), but I'm no expert. Let's see what reviews/the review bump looks like tomorrow. -

...all the data in this thread over the past month? There is literally nothing pointing to a $60m+ opening. -

Nah, it's not hitting 60. Interestingly, almost all the AMC's in my city are keeping Spider-Verse on Dolby for the weekend, and giving Transformers IMAX. -

I could see that being the case. No matter where the opening falls, I don't see a case where legs are anything better than average. But closer to Fast X feels right. It'd be a weird move from Paramount if the theaters do the discount. Mario really proved you just... don't need to do the previews if you're opening on a Wednesday. -

Took a peek at Flash sales near me, and at almost all the theaters around the city, Thursday previews look solid but the rest of the weekend looks... dire. Indy sales actually seem fine for being so far off. I'm still confused why they started sales so early. -

Legit cannot get a read if this movie is gonna have $7m previews or $3m previous. It feels so all over the place. And then no clue what the IM looks like from there. What a weird one to track. -

Rest in peace, sweet prince :'-) Unrelated, our specialty IMAX 70mm screen here in town has sold... 0 Oppenheimer tickets so far. -

You mean Shawn/BOPro's forecast right? I don't see how the numbers so far could lead to the $68m that Deadline and Hollywood Reporter were touting. -

It still has next week to see some gains, but idk if a "surge" is in the cards for this one. The big question for the movie at this point is if it plays pre-sale/fan heavy (like the old Bay movies used to), or if it has a better IM with a better general audience play. And at this point, it's really hard to tell. -

Vague updates from a pretty big city in the midwest because I'm not a legit tracker. The Little Mermaid is looking pretty good. Strong through the whole weekend, not just previews (which is expected, as a family movie). Across the Spider-Verse, to my eye, looks to be around what like Ant-Man 3 looked like a couple months ago. Not an exact science, but I'm legitimately shocked how well it has sold. Skews heavily to Thursday, though, so I guess this one will have a bigger fan rush than the first movie. The growth from the first movie is going to be really impressive. Transformers is below both, obviously, but still trucking along. It has picked up some steam on Friday since the last time I checked. Fan screening on that Wednesday looks strong... well over halfway sold out. I'm impressed by it steadily moving more tickets, even as there are like 5 other major movies on sale. Still feel like it will be buried. I'll check Flash and Indy later lmao. -

Not big enough to be exciting, or weak enough to be interesting. It's just doing as expected, maybe a little under. Current comps point towards something in the $5-6m preview range, $40-50m opening weekend. Ish. Definitely doesn't seem like it'll hit the lofty $68m that Deadline and Hollywood Reporter touted earlier this week. -

Budget on Transformers is around $200m. Still too high, but not the death sentence $340m would be. -

Might be talking Transformers? But that budget is only $200m (still too high) I think. -

Something that I'm not sure about with this movie--do we have much information on how motivated TikTok users are to buy ahead, or do walk-ups? For some reason, Transformers has a HUGE following on there, driven a lot by young people with nostalgia for the Bay movies (which is wild). I believe that's what led to those early high trailer views. But it's so difficult to know how that translates to BO.
