The Sunday/Monday cycle for Disney:

 

Pink we better get plenty gifs next week for Disney v Universal: Dawn of Meltdowns

[CJohn]

The year of opening weekends: Jan, Feb, April, June so far. December is as big of a guarantee as you can get and November seems very likely to me. September is a maybe.

Hotel Transylvania 2? Heh, I don't know.

After seeing the movie, I'm still not completely sure where they would go with a sequel.

 

Yeah I know ole boy wanted to use them in the military, but hes dead now. And what would BD Wong do with them?

After the events of JW, why would the military authorize dinos to be used? Unless someone just releases dinos on the human populous, I don't see where theyd go.

 

But I said the same thing after Fast 4, 5, 6, and 7, I had no idea whered they go with it, so I'm sure Uni is cooking up something.

My biggest issue is that it's going to be too similar to the next Apes movie and they might open the same year

[Lordmandeep]

I still dont understand why people stand in line to enter theaters? 

 

Never happened here even during epic openers. The inside of theater is filled with people waiting with tickets bought for next showing.

Showing of Jurassic World that we wanted to see was sold out, so now we have to wait like two hours. lololol

I really don't know how to describe this to you guys.

This is a very religious town. We don't sell out shows on Sunday morning. ESPECIALLY the very first show in our 2nd largest theater.

We've sold out every 2D show so far today. Both big houses and everything in between. Demand is so high now that our 3D show in the theater with NO A/C in June sold out.

If this pace keeps up, we will like hit another 6,000 people today, maybe even 7,000.

 

I know your theater isn't always the best to judge the rest of the country, but this is massive.  With this kind of attendance the record is going to be beaten comfortably.

 

Thanks for the update.

There were a bunch of people standing in line waiting to enter the theater since the other one was emptying. By the the line entered 85% of the seats had been filled.

[Incarnadine]

There must have been significant spillover  for other movies, the drops on some of the holdovers actually look pretty good.

 

Spy only dropped 45% even with losing 536 screens, PP2 dropped a mere 20.8% while losing 726 screens.

Insidious was the only real big crash in the top 10, even SA with -57% isn't too bad considering the behemoth opening of JW

[MovieMan89]

What a fantastic shot in the arm the box office has taken this year after this dismal doomsday looking affair of last year. I think Inside Out and Minions are both about to have very successful runs too.

[redfirebird2008]

Minions trailer got great reaction at my show today. That movie is going to be enormous as well. Universal has the world by the balls right now. Who would have thunk it just a few years ago?

I know. Good thing I went mid-afternoon Friday, my theater wasn't even full.

[Jandrew]

If it wasn't for the weak March, subpar April and May, a good number of bombs (4 in January alone), 2015 would be destroying every other year, and I mean destroying. But thanks to JW.

 

2015 - $4.842.4

2014 - $4.664.9

2013 - $4.531.8

2012 - $4.798.5

2011 - $4.536.9

2010 - $4.703.5

[Incarnadine]

Come on Rth.. Dip those actual numbers in fudge to put this over TA OW..  

Puerto Rico to the rescue!

[Lordmandeep]

Most people buy tickets online and come to the theater these days here. 

[JennaJ]

LOL, I just love how shocked people are by this. It just got reported on a local movie site and the reactions are so incredulous. LMAO

[Jandrew]

How in the world did SPY lose 530 theaters!?!? What happened to the 2-week contract? Surely that's a typo on BOM's part?

Edited June 14, 2015 by Jandrew

[Blankments]

There's nothing generic about F7 and JW, they might be a lot of things, generic is not one of them.

I mean, considering Universal made two out of the four best blockbusters this year, I'd definitely agree. Especially when the two non-Universal ones barely qualify as blockbusters...

[redfirebird2008]

Tele will be happy with this spillover:

 

Jurassic World is sold out so Mad Max it is. No complaints.

Yep, pretty sure it's in 3715 theaters not 3175.
