Record?

Neo. We had 5.3m record back in 2003 (LOTR)

Anyone know what the record is away from public and school holidays?

TA - Anzac Day

All LOTR and TH - Boxing Day

HP - school hols.

I think it might be twilight new moon is the record holder - with about 5m

I wonder if the solid blocks of NRL and AFL on Saturday will have much of an impact.  The NRL has 5 live games from 12-10pm and the AFL has 5 games from 1:10 to 10pm.

Thats right T:NM 5m (inclu 1.7m midnights)

 

AOU be over 2.9m day (4.3 cume wed night  prev) ,FF7 3.4m (inclu mid, + wed prev 3.8m), FSOG was next 2,5m

 

TA 6m OD public hol

IM3 3.4m OD, day before PHol

[DeeCee]

No records coming folks.  

 

THU 2.9

FRI 3.5

SAT 4.0

SUN 3.6

 

14m for the weekend.  It won't catch FF7 and will be about 20% under the TA final gross.

[Ball Lightning]

Tonight and tomorrow will be where the walk-ups really increase.

 

I'm thinking this:

 

WED: 1.4

THR: 2.9

FRI: 3.5

SAT: 5.1

SUN: 4.0

 

Weekend+previews total of $16.9m, weekend total of $15.4m. 

 

This is not during any school holidays so the Sat and Sun number will be significantly higher. Saturday we already have 20% more tickets bought then we sold for the Wednesday previews.

[DeeCee]

FF7 had a THU to weekend multiplier of 4.4 and had the Good Friday public holiday plus Monday was a holiday as well.

 

Apply the same to AoU and you get 12.76m.  I'm thinking $14m might be optimistic.

[JJ-8]

I had hoped for more but that's not bad for a school day.

Agreed the biggest day will be sat. I'm wondering if it may bump even higher than 5.1m though.

Thu Actuals

 

AOU 760 2,949,125 cume 4,353,840(wed night 8-9pm)

(highest screen count by 2 , prev DH2 758,BD2 657)

FF7 307  206,644 -74%

Cind 205  85,554 -82%

[Ball Lightning]

Presales for us tonight are huge. We had less sessions last night and tonight's are already 30-40% busier. Could easily see a Friday number approaching $4m.

[JJ-8]

So ok.

Wed (pv) 1.4m

Thurs 2.9m / 4.4m

Fri will bump but sat should be even bigger with Sunday falling in line with fri is my thoughts.

Say, (projections)

F 4.3m

Sat 5.3m

Sun 3.9m

16.4m OW possible ? (17.8 including pv)

I'd say the range 14.5m to about 17m if it somehow explodes sat. So it's currently sitting in the expected range but stands a chance to expand.

[Ball Lightning]

If we compare my site numbers on Thursday compared with presales today we're on about $3.5m so far with sessions all day very full. Should easily be a $5m+ day!

[Rthmessiah]

Fri looking at over 3.3, it will be interesting 2c sat dump, matinees strong atm

1.5M higher than DeeCee said? How good is that?

[DeeCee]

Friday is under my pessimistic prediction.  It will be interesting what kind of bump it will get on ANZAC Day.

I am looking at a large cinema that shows seat reservations and I would say nearly every session today so far has been sold out. Should be pretty big

[DeeCee]

ANZAC Day last fell on a Saturday in 2009 and before that in 1998. Neither of those times featured a big new release.

Insane day at work! Avengers is roughly at 3500 admits including presales for tonight. We did around 1000 on Wednesday for comparison. And the first Avengers did 3900 on Anzac day.

3D share is much lower though, going from 60% to 25%, but we've had about half of the surcharge increase in prices so it shouldn't be too big a factor.

[JJ-8]

So it may match the first films OD on the sat. Is that possible. 6m sat?

Sounds good. I hope the rest of the cinemas in the country are in line with yours.   

[FilmBuff]

So freaking huge!
