Does it really matter?

 

Decades from now when your kids are trying to predict the box office for SUPERMAN REBORN: A 4-D ADVENTURE FEATURING AN ALL ROBOT CAST, they need to have an accurate picture of the Friday gross :)

You don't think this forum is better than the one on BOM?

 

Of course it is better.

 

Doesn't make BOM any less bullshit in their dealings.

This is silly. If you are willing to buy a cinema ticket before a film opens then clearly you have the intention of watching the film that weekend. I think the 12m figure should at least be included with the OW if not the OD. How many of you have booked and bought a ticket for a highly anticipated film and not booked it for its OW???

Well, the whole previews thing stole a 100M OW from Iron Man 1 :(

I think you should apply the money where it fits. Midnight shows count for Friday because, technically they started on Friday. Do Friday night shows at 7 PM count for Saturday? No. So if the film is starting on Thursday nights at 7, 8, or 9 PM, etc. then it needs to count as a Thursday gross.

I don't agree the general idea of calling 7pm Thu shows part of Friday either, but, we have to maintain some sort of standard while we're keeping perspective on things. This back and forth thing isn't a reliable trend. If MoS shows are excluded from Friday, so should be every other movie that has opened at 7pm or later this year. That includes TITE on Wednesday.

 

Of course, the studios won't be convinced of that... but that's a hopeless battle.

Sorry we won't see another deal like that. Walmart ended up giving tickets away.
People have this idea Walmart paid WB 12M. I want to know where are the sources to prove this.
Man of Steel Walmart Previews
It still made 9m in just midnight shows. And Walmart did sell some tickets.
Especially knowing they didn't come close to selling the million they purchased and many say WalMart screenings were barely half full. I don't like this...
notfabio was the source. Walmart didn't pay WB.
lol, let it go. It's going to be all be anecdotes. WB or Walmart aren't going to have a press release on this subject.
I don't care how you slice it. In your mind, just throw away half of the Walmart gross.
Again. Where is your source that Walmart didn't do good in ticket sales?
Well it will die because Walmart got stuck with a bunch of unsold tickets. This was told by a poster here who is a manager at Walmart.
No, tickets are purchased at your local Walmart actually
A poster here is a Walmart manager.
Right the consumers purchased the tickets from Walmart.  Walmart had to get he tickets from somewhere.
So a Walmart manager knows that all of Walmart didn't do well with MoS tickets.
Walmart was still hawking tickets on twitter yesterday. They didn't sell out of them.
The bottom line nobody on this site has access to Walmart Financial records.
Someone on this forum posted "Walmart paid WB 12M" without any sources and everyone believed it.
I'm thinking less than $100M, non including the WalMart $12M.
Walmart executives are st00pid ?
I'm assuming that's the price WM pay WB up front. Cause at my local WM, 2D is 8 dollars while 3D is 10 dollars. Ticket prices must vary across the country then for WM to make any profit off of them.
Walmart was still selling tickets yesterday.
Neither Walmart nor WB would want that getting out, and this isn't the type of story where it'd be worth pissing off a major studio to get it out there
We'll know whether this type of marketing works in the future if Walmart does it again. If Walmart bled on this deal, then you won't see them investing in films anymore... or not as much. 
i'm guessing the next 12 are made up of meltdowns, excuses, and walmart 
I think this Wal-Mart thing is a conspiracy that goes to the very top of the Obama administration.
This Walmart topic is becoming very tedious, just move on people.
This thread is just a free pub for Walmart.
So Walmart had 1M tickets to sell. If Walmart sold every ticket it would be about....?
So even if we would just ignore those Walmart Shows, 9m is an amazing midnight number.
I don't know who and how we put Wallmart into the discussion. The main post in this thread was from Nikki and she didn't mention Wallmart.
Make no mistake, the Walmart gross is WB's, no doubt about that.
Well damn.. this thread turned out more boring than I expected. Its all about fucking Walmart.
Walmart is always an awful topic of conversation.
Yes! Midnight was only $9M sans Walmart, it's fairly reasonable!
So basically hobbit numbers for midnight exclusive of the 12M Walmart?
The Walmart previews are skewing the results, this could still make under 40M OD.
I dont think their official site has the fucking word Walmart as much as this thread.
I can't even believe I am reading people SUBTRACTING the Walmart sales from gross on this movie? Walmart comes to WB and tells them "we're going to give you $12 million dollars (chump change for this MULTI-BILLION dollar company) worth of tickets if you let us sell advance tickets for 7pm showings day before it opens". People in here are ASSUMMING ALL SHOWINGS FROM EVERY SINGLE ONE WALMART ADVANCE SCREENING were empty. Just as walmart paid $12 million in fake money and no single human being went to see its advance screening....
Counting up all the occurences of the world "Walmart" in this thread.
I'm thinking that Friday could increase sans Midnights and Walmart
WB should have sell 208M worth of tickets to that Mr Walmart just to beat Avengers OW no matter if Mr Walmart sold those tickets to real people.
You're completely ridiculous guys, you seriously want to remove these 12m from Walmart?
Walmart is to this thread as the word fuck is to Casino
"No! No! No more Walmart talk!"
Walmartin right motherwalmarter!
Because the Wal-Mart shows occured exclusively on Thursday, Box Office Mojo will be recording those grosses on that day.
I would say Walmart probably lost in 'tickets purchased' at least 5 or 6 million dollars ... a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things.
That 12M from Walmart might be important if MOS needs it to make 100M OW.
 
Number of the occurences of the word Walmart (or other variations): 170
 
And they'll probably be more and more crys of Walmart in the future.
 
Make that 172. I used the word twice now.
