Borf the Borf

Teaching my self python and various data scraping, organizing etc. Any recommendations for a grouping of theaters I can tackle to and start to contribute here that maybe isnt or is under covered?

AH ok for some reason i was thinking the theatre column was screens played on screen to for theater i Think lol.

So I am comparing it to the DS:MoM report. How did Dr Strange have 9,386 showings but less theaters? IIT was nt that much shorter was it? https://forums.boxofficetheory.com/topic/30019-the-box-office-buzz-and-tracking-thread/?do=findComment&comment=4330831

IT had one but they didnt count the preview in OW.

Intresting in FL all the retirees on fixed income live for stufff like that. Funny it prop raises there ticket average from the discounted tickets they would normally but, not enought to matter but still.

Do appple bee passes just get accounted for at full price?

Tampa area theater , all showings number taken at 5am. I ma new no comps or anything, I will post final results.

Like philly had really low numbers? Well these are the local headlines as of this week.

I think in retrospect the most over looked part of this will be how adverse older demo still is to large, indoor compact gatherings in current/post/whatever covid period we are. People reporting the liberal areas showing lower numbers thinking its about contents of the movie where as it might be more inline with political orientation and attitude to covid. This is on top of a group that always doesnt liike big crowds when compared to others. The trend could be around for a long time. Then you have the huge skew towards IMAX/DOLBY showings. This comes in with another issue and the older demo and that is bedtime. Each theater will either have 10pm+ showing to maximize screen time it would account for 25% of available seats for that screen. I think this will continue to hurt it over weekend and widen the gap from the superhero comps that could keep higher numbers into the late night screenings. EDIT: Too clarify about "risk adverse" and covid , I am referring to a potential customer who would go to a theater at 25% capacity without a 2nd thought but views a packed house as much more risky.

Was going with more a 'The Cable Guy' vibe personally

Kinde jealous this guy getting a private screening at het 10:15 show, should I go spoil it? Edit:

Whats MIkey Law? I have tried googling no luck

Mid Day Showings Imax Tampa Area update from quoted post at 3am (~14 hours ago)

3pm IMAX runs from the Tampa Area + Sarasota T-0 update from prior t-12h

Is it Are you talking about preview as bein Tuesday - Thursday? I think that is causing a lot of inflated comps. They basically padded the previews with there screenings etc., use Thursday True take and ask if the early screening help via word of mouth etc. or actually take away from a normal run with Previews starting at 33pm on Thur.

yea i am new and definitely not extrapolating on anything based on a first pass. I do think the 120 and anecdotal evidence on older movie goers tells me there is much less a rush to get in this weekend and older demo is ok waiting for a less crowded IMAX experience. Most my questions would be technically related to scrapping and automatizing it, try to short cut learning selenium which i need to anyways. Hah Here is Vets: edit: adding dolbys

Theater 2 from above's regular screening for TG2:M as of 4:30am T-10.5 hours. 3 "DOlby Cinemas" not tallied Like this at them all though

This data prob isnt of much use to yall without a histories and comps but gotta start somewhere. I am seeing a heavy skew with the IMAX showings vs vs Regular screenings. Dont really know the implications but I with the 120 theatrical run I think they are expecting people to waiting around for IMAX screenings/repeat viewings. Any ways 5 Tampa area IMAX screenings numbers as of 3am Thursday T -- 12 hours. Collected by hand, I will learn selenium this week to automate some collection. And if there is intrest I will update 2pm and right before Mid showing. Handicaps and companions account for variance i was using HTML to ID aby "Can Reserve" and "Not available" and those seats categorized differently.
