The 9 AM shows at Palace APM are bit busier than the 11 AM morning shows because seniors get an early morning discount. Afternoon shows are slow but night sales is really helping offset the low ticket sales from the afternoon. Cold War 2's doing better business 2 days out than Captain America 3 but that came out on a Wednesday vs. Friday for Cold War 2. The only real question for Cold War 2 is how will it fare at locations other than Broadway/AMC.

More Friday schedules are coming out and at MCL/GH, both have opted to show Cold War 2 on 2 screens. The disparity between Broadway/AMC and MCL/GH will be stretched further with UA expected to give it 2 screens as well. Thursday adm.

Also with the one-two punch of Cold War 2 opening on Friday and Finding Dory sneaks starting on Saturday, they will deliver huge blows to every holdover this weekend.

Early Friday schedules Note: The number of showtimes in parentheses for holdovers is from Wednesday. Broadway/AMC Palace APM New Holdovers Leaving Cold War 2 - 29 showings The Handmaiden - 1 showing (▼ 3) The Secret Life of Pets (3D Can. - Wed.)

This type of scheduling is only reserved for the biggest of tentpoles usually superhero movies. Pre-sales don't match the supply that Broadway/AMC is giving out on Friday. I'll need to see other theater chains first before giving out a full assessment. I definitely see Cold War getting at least 2 screens and I can see it getting 3 screens at theaters that have more screens, however handing out 5 screens to Cold War at other theater chains won't be happening. Due to this surprising development, there were massive holdover cuts on Friday, most shocking going to Independence Day 2. Some theaters have completely axed Independence Day 2 on Friday and it looks like Thursday will be its last day in those theaters. The Secret Life of Pets gets nearly full day showtimes although it gets severely slashed at night. The Legend of Tarzan drops down to 1 showtime at some locations. The rest of the holdovers will only get a couple of showtimes at best if theaters decide to hold onto them for another week.

Out of the top 5, The Secret Life of Pets had a very solid decline. The Legend of Tarzan had a correction with Friday's low increase. Moviegoers checked out of watching Independence Day 2 and had the worst hold of any film on Saturday besides 2 family friendly/animated kids films. Sharp decline for Alice 2 on Saturday though what must come up on Friday must come down the day after. Now You See Me 2 is slowing down.

This might be the biggest last weekend of June apart from the last two Transformers films that released during the same weekend in past years. The Secret Life of Pets surprised with Independence Day 2 dropping the ball last weekend. In fact this summer season has been anything but kind to most films. While there have been some very decent totals from X-Men: Apocalypse, Jungle Book, Now You See Me 2, there hasn't been a film apart from Captain America 3 that blew all the doors down and is a major hit compared to its own expectations. The Secret Life of Pets hopes to change that but it will face insurmountable obstacles the next 2 weeks. Cold War 2 opens next Friday and it is widely expected to command 2 or even maybe 3 screens. Finding Dory will begin its HK onslaught with sneaks starting next Saturday. From the looks of it, most places will be giving it 1 screen for the entire day which means The Secret Life of Pets will be out of 3 screens at the least. It will need an undeniably strong hold if it has any chance of pushing past 6m. 5m is possible but it really depends on next week. The week after Finding Dory, Central Intelligence and Three will all fight for screens and with Finding Dory alone rummaging for 3-4 screens, there really is no room for The Secret Life of Pets to survive in that hostile climate. 1.8m is a very good start though and should not be overlooked. Independence Day 2 crumbled under the weight of expectations. For theater operators, the expectation was that Independence Day 2 would be victorious in winning a 2nd weekend but poor word of mouth sunk in and it never recovered even with this week's holiday. 5m is probably going to happen even with the dried up admissions in the next few days but it is a very poor hold especially with the holiday falling on a Friday. The Legend of Tarzan tried to be the other foil but it never really took off with The Secret Life of Pets dominating families and couples while Independence Day 2 played to the male crowd. That being said, it performed in line with expectations. It won't have any time for legs as its the #3 movie this weekend so theaters will be looking to cut its showtimes heavily for Cold War 2 next weekend. Alice 2 and Now You See Me 2 both saw mediocre holds. For Alice 2, it surpasses 2m while Now You See Me 2 beams toward 4m. Sunday adm.

Cold War 2 will march to a bigger opening day pre-sales number than the original and all signs point to a very strong opening weekend. If it matches Cold War's walk-in admissions ratio, it will take in more than 2m OW next weekend in just 3 days.

Cold War 2 will get some IMAX 3D screenings beginning on Friday. Pre-sales have looked OK. Theaters have begun pre-selling for next week's Finding Dory previews at some UA/GH locations. At UA, one theater is reporting a showtime over 45% full with only 1.5 days of pre-selling. GH locations are reporting strong ticket sales in 2D and a decent amount in 3D. From these early indications, it will challenge Minions for highest grossing animation OW of all time.

Kids films saw the biggest declines with Angry Birds shedding more than 60% of Friday's pre-sales. Every wide holdover registered a decline of over 50% week-to-week but the good news is that walk-ins will account for more of today's admissions so this will work out better for the openers than most of the holdovers.

I'm still going to see it even with the mediocre reviews. Hopefully it's better than what the critics say. Thursday Actuals June 30 LW TW Movie Last Thu. (USD) Thu.

Independence Day 2 had an OK opening weekend. It's not the massive opening weekend that most expected from ID2 when it was first announced but it's bigger than 2012's OW and in line with The Day After Tomorrow's OW. Interest wasn't super high as the muddy trailers featuring world destruction did not generate much reaction with the general public. For Alice 2, Independence Day 2 did not land the knockout punch for all the other films so Alice 2 in general had a good hold considering the circumstances. Now You See Me 2 is very close to the original's total and it will pass it by Wednesday at the latest. The Conjuring 2 had a very nice hold. Angry Birds has clawed back from the dead from its opening weekend. 2m is on the way.

Beautiful episode to end this amazing show.

Doing pretty well. Up until June 12, it made $131,709 so far from a maximum of 5 theaters. 1 more theater will drop this tomorrow with Independence Day 2 entering but most will keep it with the same amount of showtimes that it had on Wednesday. Independence Day 2 is looking like a huge disaster in the making with very slow 3D ticket sales at most locations. It is doing worse than Star Wars 7 did at its weaker theaters. Lower ticket prices will keep this below 3m OW for sure. I think it will pick up eventually but early pre-sales are not encouraging. OW prediction: 2.3m There's a chance that it might miss 2m if ticket sales do not materialize. I also wonder if theaters will switch over to 2D this weekend? Even worse news for Independence Day 2 is that it will shockingly lose IMAX showtimes to The Legend of Tarzan the following week.

It's not going to make a lot of money since it will release on the last week of summer. In general, it's hard to peg down Japanese films because they get such varying degrees of release but I think this will make less than Attack on Titan and probably less than 1m total.

I guess the $10 surcharge at UA and $5 uptick at Broadway clinched it for the caper flick. At first glance, the only feeling that I got when I saw the top 2's grosses were ambivalence. Now You See Me 2 winning Thursday can be seen as only a mild victory. It was expected by some to have a sizable lead on Thursday so to win by only $25,000 feels like virtually nothing. On the other hand, Warcraft losing despite the built in fanbase + China + fantasy action adventure is disappointing. Reviews may play a role this weekend with Warcraft leading the charge with a 4.6 while Now You See Me 2 tows behind with a 3.7 but there has been no evidence to support Warcraft gaining admissions over Now You See Me 2. It looks like Now You See Me 2 has increased its lead over Warcraft this weekend while Warcraft has faded. Angry Birds butted heads with its soft opening last weekend and resurgence this week. Though animated movies with holidays on their 2nd weekend are known for strong 2nd weekend grosses, Angry Birds has morphed into a bomb or mother bird this week. It will easily pass 1.2m by Sunday. The Jungle Book had a nice increase but it will only be temporary. Last weekend's hold foreshadowed what will happen in the upcoming weeks. It won't be having great holds and will leave theaters in about 3-4 weeks. The Conjuring 2 had a great start. It has already made half of The Conjuring's opening weekend total with 3 days still to accumulate money. The Conjuring 2 has had great reviews and it should relatively well the next few weeks. X-Men: Apocalypse passed 6m and is looking to surpass Days of Future Past's total (6.54m). It may end up falling short with no holidays left and Independence Day 2 on the horizon. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 knocked off $500,000 from its list but its total is a massive failure. Brother Bajranji has been doing extremely well the last couple of weeks and should continue its run well into July.
