Hoyts finally breaking into the list!

[Robertron]

1-Event George St 17, Sydney   (KTSS)

2-Event Innaloo 16, Perth       (KTSS)

3-Hoyts Melbourne Central 11   (KTSS)

4-Event Chermside 16, Brisbane (KTSS)

5-Event Robina 11, Gold Coast  (KTSS)

6-Event Marion 26, Adelaide   (KTSS)

7-Hoyts Carousel 16, Perth    (KTSS)

8-Village Southland 16, Melbourne (KTSS)

9-Event Castle Hill 16, Sydney   (KTSS)

10-village Casino 13, Melbourne (KTSS)

This list just shows the pure dominance of Event on the market here.

Hoyts has such a bad reputation. But I guess it doesn't really help when - at least from a Sydney perspective - Hoyts is kinda just thrown in the dodgy parts of the suburbs. (Yes Bankstown, Penrith & Mt Druitt, I'm lookin at you guys)

And don't forget Village is part of Australian Theatres with Event, GU and BCC.

Apart from the Entertainment Quarter at Fox all the Hoyts I've been to have sucked. That includes Broadway, Eastgardens, Charlestown and Warrawong.

Charlestown is a shocker lot thought it would close once Reading opened down the road, the 2 big cinemas Eastgardens are ok

 

and the Event, BCC, GU confusing in itself some sites are Event some GU etc, like recently new complex opened in Townsville , new site Townsville Central is BCC branded, Townsville city is Event branded. Locals are confused with ticket redemptions etc.

 

Various complexes 50/50 (some % varies) Village & AHL the other thing is thast AHL (parent company) itself has a share in Village Roadshow

Holy crap. How does that 3m compare with the likes of Potter and Twilight?

It really does (and i used to work for them). I now work for an AHL company so I hear things about Event.. They run this shit well.

There's a new movie website linking all the theatres.

http://www.movietimes.com.au

It's pretty basic. I had a survey to complete and got a free movie ticket. There's Jupiter Ascending covered.

 

Rth, do you know what intentions the theatre chains have with this website.  Will it remain basic screening times or will it morph into a Fandango like site?

Rth, do you know anything?  Thanks.

[Ball Lightning]

This is definitely one of our biggest presales since I've started. Session on Thursday, Friday and Saturday night already have more than 200+ in them.

Basic session, get session data for a large number theatres as for ticket sales it all redirects to cinemas own websites (no plans to change that) for that. Where as Fandango does bookings themselves either through a ticket allocation given by theatre or direct access to theatre inventory 

[Wormow]

yaaaaaaas Village Cinemas Southland and FG making the top 6! 

[Ball Lightning]

I could easily see a $2m+ opening day with my site numbers. Roughly 20% below Mockingjay here.

[Robertron]

Insane numbers! We'll see if it can have the staying power it needs to compete with those, But a likely 10m+ weekend at tks stage.

[Robertron]

I wouldn't be surprised if it goes close to 4.5-5m on Saturday. This is going to be insanely huge.

Saturday is going to insanely big. I think 10m is a foregone conclusion at this point.

Did you go to Atmos screening in Vmax

Indeed I did. The sound was just stunning. Even jaw dropping. Hearing dire straits through that was just awesome. Very impressive sound system in there. Is that in use anywhere in brissie yet?

[JJ-8]

How did you get across the border?

I was in Sydney for A State of Trance 700/ Festival. Damn I had a good weekend!
