Of what I checked Nolan & Peter Jackson at 11.

Jackson was a good one. Also has 23 #1s from the 2000s from just 4 movies

All of the comps have come down and I believe that is due to the fact that there are a very small amount showings on opening day, less seats available then all the other comps I have listed. That being said I’d still feel confident in at least a $2m opening leaning closer towards a $3m (maybe even $4m) even if the numbers don’t point to that, the reason being this has more showings across Saturday and Sunday and seems like it will be leggy rather than front loaded even with the high amount of tickets it has sold for opening day. 

 

TLK at the same point sold 1831/5554(32.96%) which would be a $1.86m opening weekend 

 

Hobbs and Shaw at the same point sold 361/3560(10.14%) which would be a $2.97m opening weekend 

 

Joker at the same point sold 446/2756(16.18%) which would be a $1.91m opening weekend

So you guys may have noticed that no films have had the big theatres for their shows for the last couple of movies, well I just found out why. They have added VMAX (a baby version of IMAX) with recliner seats and daybeds and it seems like they are launching it with The Rise of Skywalker. So that’s 2 additional midnight screenings and a total of 10 additional opening day. 

 

Ticket prices are $23 for regular seat, 27.50 for recliner and $30 for single daybed and $60 for double, this should help the average ticket price here in Albany and has added a bunch of seats of the opening day and weekend.

They are not launching with TROS as it seems to have been playing with Frozen II the last couple of days, that is probably for the best as if any technical issues were to happen at midnight you would get some angry Star Wars fans. 

 

Also so will do a count in about an hour and have a 3 days til launch update.

VMAX has allowed for a nice boost to ticket sales particularly for Midnights and late night sessions. I don’t think either of the 3 day comps are particularly great but still the best I have, I’m almost certain TROS will be more presale heavy than TLK and F2. That being said still looking incredibly strong and I’d say around $4m opening weekend, which is about what TLJ opened to, looks about right at the moment.

Over 2000 tickets sold for opening day is incredible. A few more showings added for midnights means it is showing on every screen at midnight now, also means it has more tickets available opening day than TLK, although that film didn’t have midnight showings. Comps say it will go higher but I’m still feeling a little over or under $4m as this is likely more presale heavy than most other films.

now time for me to catch a flight, go home and have a nap and then go to see Star Wars at midnight! So if i don’t reply forgive me.

No point doing comps as the only 10 day comps I have are Frozen II and TROS both of which sold a bunch more than BOP has at this point. 3 day comp to Joker should be good in about a weeks time.

Yeah comps are looking pretty horrendous, selling well under 100 tickets 3 days before release is not a good sign. Hopefully reviews and late marketing can kick in and ramp things up.

Yeah comps are still looking horrendous, hopefully this gets great reviews and has really good walk ups tomorrow and across the weekend, because otherwise it’s going to really struggle to get over half a million for the weekend. 

 

Edit: just remembered it’s Waitangi Day tomorrow, so comps are even worse as this film is opening on a public holiday unlike the ones I compared it to.

Not exactly selling a lot but we are in lockdown in Auckland at the moment. Will probably get more difficult to work out how many seats are taken up whe a sale is made but will keep it up to the best of my ability as it helps show off the occupancy percentage of screenings.

Still slow going, added exactly then same amount of tickets sold as yesterday. I’m hoping it starts picking up in the next few days, although people may be waiting until Friday for conformation that lockdown ends on the 26th.
