I didn't think Valentine's day was till tomorrow?

I didn't think Valentine's day was till tomorrow?

Well observed.

[Asyulus]

Valentines is nearing.

[Cmasterclay]

It's the middle of February and fucking freezing out. It's not a summer or holiday midnight release where people have off and are comfortable to rush out to see it. It's a hard R, non-summer release that skews older and has a legendary Saturday coming up. Stop overreacting. And stop proclaiming victory, Neo and Ando, for goodness sake.

This should be the motto around here:

 

[GiantCALBears]

Sort of a meh # all things considered, only $3m more than AS Thursday previews? Not a particularly great sign. Saturday drop is really all that matters here.

[Asyulus]

I didn't think Valentine's day was till tomorrow?

Yep

[Ezen Baklattan]

1.4m for Kingsman would be above Exodus and Jupiter Ascending. A mid 20s 3-day weekend seems about right.

[The Futurist]

I know now why I still can t predict shit bo wise.

It s the fucking dollar man, using the dollar to account for bo is useless, worthless, an exercise in futility. People compare this movie with the first Twilight.

Hello ?

What s the fucking point ?

None.Twilight was 7 years ago which means 7 years of ticket price inflation.

Wait, it gets worse when you predict bo worldwide, you got to be an expert in exchange rates. If it weren t for the recent monetary turmoils, The Hobbit 3 would have been a B dollar grosser and all other blockbusters would have bigger grosses too.

Basically, you can adjust the dom bo and even there, it s no perfect science to have the exact, reliable number of tickets sold. Hell, we can t even answer to the question : who sold more tickets, The Dark Knight or Avatar ?

Adjusting the BO WW is just impossible so comparisons even from year to year mean abslolutely Nothing.

The Dollar is such a relative unit.

Sorry for the rant.

Probably around $80-90 million for the three-day. Pretty rough.

[cory]

Nearby Movie Tavern is sold out from 4pm on tomorrow but only 2 showings so far tonight. 

Obviously that kind of theater is more likely to be affected by Valentine's Day, but it's still cool to see.

Did the Futurist just get possessed by the cooky spirit of Ron Paul?

*groan*

Best to just get it over with before the jokers run it into the ground

8.6M IS A GREAT NUMBER FOR PREVIEWS

[GiantCALBears]

There are two weekend # threads mods. Laziness!!!

[Alpha]

Doesnt matter, it is being affected by R rating.

The density levels are high.

[Deep Wang]

Yeah, that doesn't surprise me actually.  Just like I had mentioned in the other thread, we only had 580 last night.

 

What I failed to mention, was that we had 490 presold througout the three day weekend, so it could end up holding a bit better than we were expecting.
