Deep Wang Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 It was one of those promotional things they do via Twitter. General public. Oof. If it were me, I'd go at least 3 hours early. I discovered in San Antonio while attending the early screening for Fast and Furious 6, there are people that only go to these. They were standing in line looking at lists of free shows to go to. They don't care what it is, as long as it's free. They planned to go see Epic for the love of God! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobo007 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 It's not like the people watching the fight can see the movie at any other point during the weekend, right? No way they would simply see AoU at a time that doesn't conflict with the fight. That's asking too much. i would think that 6:00 to 9:00 (west coast) showtimes are the peak viewing times. for AOU to break the record it would need to do well over 60 million on Saturday (generally the busiest day of the weekend). the question remains is: are there enough non-boxing fans as well as family and friends of people that don't care about boxing (as there will be legion of viewing parties) to sell out or nearly sell out the 6:00 - 9:00 showtimes which i'm assuming will be necessary to get to the 60+ million total. Spiderman 3 did well on the Saturday of Mayweather vs De La Hoya, but at 51 million it was far from saturated (there was still plenty of room for growth) and that fight wasn't as big as this one. i don't think that it would be unreasonable to expect a $15 million drop from the fight. or a better prediction would be that Friday and maybe even Sunday will have higher ticket sales than Saturday. actually that is very probably as people will likely plan to see the movie around the fight, but empty seats are still empty seats. AOU will still do very well, but the record is probably out of reach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim22 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 No chance in hell I can do three hours early. I might be able to do 90 minutes. If you are going alone, you may still get a good seat. More than one person 90 minutes in advance equals sitting in the front row, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I have no idea what the preview numbers for this will be. I say 28m? wow you were spot on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 If you are going alone, you may still get a good seat. More than one person 90 minutes in advance equals sitting in the front row, It's just me. I think I have a decent chance at a decent seat. Front row, I'm not sure my eyeballs could recover from the Mad Doctor's insanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecstasy Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I think it's Matt Vaughn's worst movie. But, it's not bad. Marvel should snag him for Black Panther. Matt Vaughn does R rated much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 The rule with those screenings is simple - if you leave really early, the line won't be bad and everyone will get in, even those who show up late. If you wait til the last minute to head out, the line will be enormous and you won't get in 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 No Mad Max in NYC? I dunno, I don't track these things. If you search "Mad Max" on twitter occasionally you'll see showings pop up. There were some in Houston yesterday, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
