Can AoU surpass 54M of TA?   

It's possible but I say no.  

[phoony17]

Booked tickets for a group of us for Friday night and had a squizz at Thursday and Friday night showings. Doesn't seem to be that many pre-sold considering it's a couple of days away.

[Ball Lightning]

Australia (at least from my personal experience) is really bad with pre-sales. They are definitely way higher than FF7 down here, but as I mentioned earlier, they mean nothing compared with the fast bulk of people who walk up and buy tickets. 

 

We've been struggling to push online and mobile ticket sales, even on crazy days like Boxing day and Anzac Day.

[DeeCee]

Australians enjoy queueing and prefer it over the first 10 minutes of the movie.

[JJ-8]

To be honest. I haven't even bought an AOU ticket as yet. Though I plan on seeing it.

I rarely buy this early. Usually at most about 1 or 2 hrs before online.

[JJ-8]

I am thinking 15m + officially (15.5m) but quietly hoping for 17m

The trouble for 17m is there is no holidays to support this year (Anzac day is on the sat this year. ). It's not impossible. Just not sure of it.

I usually buy online through Telstra Movie Tickets an hour or two before I go unless it's the first day.  It's cheaper plus there's no booking fee.  I usually arrive 5-10 minutes after the scheduled start time and laugh at the often large queues to buy tickets.

I'm planning for tomorrow night assuming all my plans come off that is  

[Jonwo]

I find it insane that there is 26 screen cinema in Adelaide. The George Street cinema I've been to and it's nice

[Robertron]

Went to Hoyts Bankstown for 830 previews last night. Wow it was busy.

[Lordmandeep]

Any sign to how this is doing.

[Ball Lightning]

Presales are unusually strong for tonight, many sessions are already half full. Definitely going to be huge, whether its a $13m+ huge or a $17m+ huge is another question that we won't know until tomorrow.

If it does not beat the first TA in Australian dollars opening weekend that is a bad sign for domestic imo.

It should easily do that as TA burned off $6m on the Wednesday and the weekend was $13.3m.  I'm pretty comfortable with $14m+ being a lock.

That is not how you should look. Probably have to extrapolate what TA1 would have done had it released on a thursday. I am assuming it would have been greater than 13.3m as it burned off 6m on wednesday. I would say 16m+ to call it even.

[DeeCee]

Yeah, putting that $6m in to the weekend would probably have made it around $16-17m.  That $6m on the Wednesday is also the main reason why I think it will fall short of the TA.

 

Any preview numbers yet?  I'll guess $762,000.

Yep looking at about 1.4m HUGE, if you think Bankstown was busy it just managed to make it into top 100 locs
