@lab276 Saw WW84 at Gold Class George St yesterday afternoon. It was pretty quiet inside the foyer although the session was almost full. 

 

Would you ever go to the Boutique Theatre? I'm not completely clear on how it differs from Gold Class tbh.

Fantastic start for WW84 here. 4.5m USD or over 6m AUD opening weekend. That's a 2 day total because boxing day fell on a Saturday.  Compared to last year jumanji TNL did 13.2m over 4days (boxing landed on a Thursday) so not a bad start in comparison. Very hard to compare as not apples for apples but this feels stronger than the first WW of 6.8m over a normal 4 day weekend. Unless we get another covid outbreak I think WW84 Should top it's predecessors total of 25m here. All round great start. Pretty sure the overall box office is down due to lack of product but fantastic start for WW84 here

[JJ-8]

For those that don't know the Australian box office the next whole week after boxing day normally sees daily total near weekend dailies. So the weekdays could see another 4-6m before new years weekend.  I'm expecting WW84 to be over 15m after new years. I feel like 30m isn't out of reach here which is a total Warners would have been looking for in AUS even pre covid.

Does piracy impact box office in AUS? Usually.

[DeeCee]

It would include screenings on 23/12 and some Christmas Day sessions. 
 

Boxing Day was probably $3-4m. 
 

Hopefully Numero tweets shortly. 

[Fielding]

That's a fantastic result, and boy, do our cinemas need it. They're looking at $400 million in total for 2020, compared to $1.2 billion last year.

23rd was just early sneak showings for Australia and New Zealand and just evening sessions.
 

Boxing Day was the offical opening for both countries.

[DeeCee]

Yes. 1-3 sessions on the 23rd, nothing on the 24th and then sessions on Christmas Day in the afternoon. Christmas Day may not have been every state. 
 

There’s 1 large and 2 small cinema complexes closed on the Northern Beaches of Sydney due to the outbreak. 
 

I actually saw Wonder Woman at Hoyts Westfield Warringah. 

[Wormow]

6pm @ IMAX Melbourne on 27/12, pretty much full theatre.

[charlie Jatinder]

A$5.24mn weekend for WW84. Means 23rd was A$750k approx.

At last they've put the numbers up! WW84 looking very good 11m already and 6.5m for The Croods 2. As long as the current clusters can be controlled, and I feel sort of increasingly confident that they will be, they should play well through the school holidays.
