Friday was tracking to have lower pre-sales so this is great news! Good for Tales from the Dark. Great for Despicable Me 2 and Blind Detective. Nice for World War Z.

I'm not really sure what the real reasons are. I can only speculate. Broadway/AMC have an out. They're promoting their film and want it to do well so it's kind of understandable that they would give the biggest screens to their film. However, everyone knows that Monsters University was going to be big. To not at least give Monsters University the biggest screen is an injustice. I guess they're not in the business of making the most money after all. They would rather lose hundreds of thousands of dollars just to deny another film from grabbing it. I'm not sure about the other theater chains though. As for the holdovers, Despicable Me 2 and Blind Detective were kept around for another week because they did well last week but I'm surprised they passed up on giving 2 more screens to Monsters University to show diversity. They didn't do that with Iron Man 3 or The Dark Knight Rises or The Avengers so I'm not sure why all of a sudden they did that to Monsters University. World War Z/Now You See Me were kept on because of their good holds the past several weeks. Man of Steel only got showtimes because it's only in its 3rd week. I'm actually pissed off that theaters would do this to a big film. Disney should bitch about this to the theater owners till the cows come home because they did not deserve that kind of treatment at all. I still can't believe that Monsters University could have had a chance at 4m but lost it due to theater interference. That's a first. The fact that Monsters University did so well when theaters gave it at best 3 screens is a miracle. Iron Man 3 had 5-6 screens and only made 76,778 admissions on opening day. If theaters did this to Iron Man 3, The Avengers would still have the OW record and people would be aghast that Iron Man 3 was denied an OW record in an Asian territory.

I saw admissions go down at night so don't know what happened there. It should have made over 60,000 admissions today. That is still a great number for it though considering it got only 2 screens at most places. That means most showtimes were 90%+ full. Tales from the Dark Part 1 recovered well with good walk-ins. I still think it would have done better had they released this next weekend. Despicable Me 2 had a excellent hold in admissions. Let's see how much it falls in gross. Blind Detective did pretty good as well. World War Z did OK. Man of Steel got stopped in its tracks by Monsters University. Now You See Me did alright. Enormous drops for Midsummer Formula and Epic.

Pre-sales have been weak but walk-ins could be very strong. Great hold for Despicable Me 2 but I would hold off on the celebrating. There could be massive schedule change come this weekend. Monsters University might take away another screen. Decent for Blind Detective. Man of Steel dropped like a hot potato. It won't make the top 5 this weekend.

Yeah, Monsters University will be the biggest animation release of the summer. HK is generally a Pixar market but the last 2 films (Cars 2, Brave) didn't do well here.

Doubtful since Monsters University comes out this week. Then you have Turbo and Pacific Rim out the weekend after. The best it can do is about 2.8m.

Monsters University will have a high 3D ratio because there are very few places showing 2D. More than 80% of admissions will be from 3D. Monsters University is heading toward a 40,000+ pre-sales start and then ending with about 65-70k admissions on opening day.

There are several reasons for this. First is that some theater chains have heavily discounted shows at 9 AM and then gradually increase the ticket price after that show time. UA and Golden Harvest employs this pricing strategy. Since summer holidays are now in session, people do not mind getting up a little earlier to watch it. Second, some theaters are splitting their showtimes between English/Cantonese or 2D and 3D versions in the morning. Those that want to watch a certain show and want the discount have to see it in the morning. Third is that animation releases usually see very high sales in the morning. Ticket prices are high enough already in the afternoon or evening. A family of 4 saves 40% on ticket prices in the morning than watching it in the afternoon or at night. ________________________________________________________________________ Currently at Mongkok, Monsters University is outselling Tales from the Dark Part 1 10:1 on Friday night. At Festival Walk, the gap is much larger, MU is selling out faster than Tales from the Dark Part 1 by 40:1 in ticket sales on Friday.

firedeep, how much do you think MU will make OW and total?

It is making 10m.

Part 3 of Monsters University pre-sales Over at MCL, Monsters University is also having high pre-selling. At the higher traffic theaters such as Telford, STAR and JP, all have registered showtimes more than 60% full, closing in on 70%. STAR even has a weekend morning showing filled at 85% capacity. More rural theaters such as Metro are about 20-30% full, which is quite good already. Kornhill, meanwhile, is having really good pre-sales as well. Festival Walk Monsters University 3D Can.

Its 4-day of showings combined is almost 60% full. Wonderful news. Moving to Palace APM now and it is the only theater to release more than 1 screen of ticketing for Monsters University. * This is not the full day showings for Monsters University.

Sorry, this is for opening weekend only. I should have specified. Have you seen The Walking Dead?

July 4 Weekend Actuals1. Despicable Me 2 - $1,413,243 (opening weekend actual)2. Blind Detective - $825,251 (opening weekend actual)3. Man of Steel - $3,783,2644. World War Z - $4,945,0645. Epic - $794,3046. Midsummer Formula - $538,9927. Now You See Me - $3,308,744Badges of Fury - $121,208Searching for Sugar Man - $176,655A Story of Yonosuke - $10,960 (opening weekend actual)Everything increased from estimates. Despicable Me 2 had a very good opening weekend. Excellent for Blind Detective. Man of Steel is not doing that great. World War Z keeps on impressing. Epic brushes off Midsummer Formula for 5th. Midsummer Formula won't make even half of Suspect X. Now You See Me did great.

Pacific Rim IMAX: It's currently doing well here. So far, fastest selling showtimes are about 20-25% full. Ticket prices are the same as Man of Steel for some reason. Is Warner Bros. deliberately setting higher prices just so it can try and beat Monsters University? That's pathetic if it's true. There's no justification for any surcharge and it is under the runtime required for an extra surcharge. They can try and slap a blockbuster charge on it but as we've seen in the past, people will ignore films with high ticket prices.Warner Bros. has not been having a very good year so far. Outside of Cloud Atlas (which got a late release), The Great Gatsby and Jack the Giant Slayer (only OK), all of their films have flopped or massively underperformed.
