Weekend Actuals 8/22-8/24 GOTG 17.2m, TMNT 16.7m, Stay 15.7m, Cops 10.8m

[FilmBuff]

Clearly comic book action films hold their sway. The discussion of the CBM's death continues to be exaggerated.Hoped for in some corners but exaggerated. GotG and TMNT ruling August.Them being of very similar target audience (family/teen) makes it even more impressive.In theory one should've wholly knocked the wind out of the others sails.

Don't tell baumer.

The first part is probably going to happen in the next few years.

Imo Guardian of the Galaxy has flaws but its the crowd pleasure of the summer handily domestic.

I was just about to say, that Sin City number has to be Paramount'ed. Why the hell would that film have the only sub-30% drop in the top 10 when the family appealing films like GOTG and TMNT couldn't even manage it?

 

 

Sunday was a school night. You'd expect an adult film like Sin City to have a better hold than a kid's film.

Pretty much, SC2 held up well on sunday pretty much everywhere, in Canada it was less than 20% drop sunday

LA -26%, NYC -36%, Detroit -15

WTF- the L.A. engagement of Roaring Currents sold the most tickets of any single movie at a single theater in all of North America?!Only The Numbers has weekend numbers for Roaring Currents, and they're just estimates. This weekend it made $480,000 from 47 locations, $10.2K PTA. Last weekend was $525,500 from 30 locations, $17.5K PTA.And I understand big cities and a lot of LA/Southern California venues, and McLean, VA is a suburb of Washington D.C., but what's with Moore, Oklahoma? Yes, it's a suburb of Oklahoma City, but still - why did THAT theater pull in so many ticket sales?And why does that theater in Calgary consistently have the top engagements in Canada?

I see that BoMojo tracked 687 movies last year...isn't it possible that there are plenty of movies for every taste?   10 SH movies would hardly be a dent in the total number of movies.   I'll bet there are far more comedies in that 687 than SH movies.  

 

I checked...there are 9 comedies....in the top 50!!

Would love to see Turtles win the weekend.

Lol, there is no way turtles will win anymore weekends. It's dropping harder than guardians, no reason for it to stop.

TAR Last weekend actuals 33 562,332 #23 cume is now 1,516,421 (really good mid week) , in LA only 3 theaters playing so hence one reason for CGV Cinemas to be so popular

 

as for the other lot of factors, one factor is competitive areas how many other  theaters near by playing same film (some areas two theaters right near each other might be playing same, in some places thats not allowed), how far between theaters, a theaters popularity over another (take Warren there is a 16plex 4miles away that takes nothing compared to Warren and another 9 miles away does better than the one 4miles away but still Warren is much bigger)

 

For YTD all films Warren in #20 and Calgary Scotiabank is #4 ,

The top 20 theaters all films YTD  consist of 3 in NYC(Manhatten),1, Paramus NJ,7 in Greater LA,1 Calgary,1  Toronto,1 Orlando, 2 Miami, 1 W DC,1 Boston,1 Fresno,1 Oklahoma City

Actually, big drops for almost everything from estimates it seems. Wonder how much of an effect that earthquake had, if any.

I was wondering what caused the drops as well. 9 out of the top 10 dropped from the initial estimates. It's unusual when all of the studios have consistent overestimates like that?

[TServo2049]

The earthquake was only localized to part of Northern California. Outside of Napa County, it wouldn't have affected moviegoing.Here near San Francisco, we felt it for about 15 seconds in the wee hours of the morning and that was it. It didn't affect the rest of the West Coast. It didn't affect L.A. or Seattle or Portland or Phoenix or anywhere else.

Unless it causes severe damage somewhere it's not really a big deal.  I grew up in the Bay Area and they taught us earthquake safety as far back as I can remember.  Now if that happened in some of the other areas I've lived, they'd probably be traumatized.
