Tuesday Actuals: JW 24.3M | DOWN GOES TDK TUESDAY | Not the Spielberg, Cameron, or Nolan thread!

Definition of insane price? Just curious, ha.

$15-$25 for IMAX

[redfirebird2008]

Is a regular 2D adult evening in Texas $13.50? Because that's what I paid for JW in Dublin, California (near San Francisco). My state could well have the most expensive movie tickets in the country...

 

2D Regular is $10

2D RPX (Regal's version of IMAX) is $12.97 in the evening. Huge screen with really nice digital projection and badass sound, plus nicer seats. Feels like a much better deal than $10 for a much smaller screen and worse sound.

[Fancyarcher]

The biggest news is Jw gained another 20 million on Jurassic park III on mojos showdown. It finally seems to be pulling away.

 

A landslide victory.

[TServo2049]

I know RPX, I don't do it anymore (at least not at Hacienda Crossings) after a horrendous experience at opening night of Pacific Rim where the sound was cranked so high it made me nauseous. And I have very good hearing, but I just cannot tell the fine differences between Atmos and normal 7.1, that sounds fine to me.

I always try to go for the 400-seat auditorium (the one that was not converted into an RPX).

IMAX (LieMAX really) is $15 here. Sounds better than $25 though. The Houston IMAX I used to visit was around $17-18, though it was a legit 70mm IMAX.

Lets hope yesterday stays above 24M before thinking about today.

Yesterday the actual went up from Rth's refined estimate. It's definitely staying above $24M. Honestly, I half expect the actual to be above $25M.

Only bad experience with RPX sound was with Amazing Spider-Man 2. Zimmer's score was annoying as hell during the Electro parts of that movie. JP4 experience was great last weekend. Sound was not cranked too high.

Hacienda has a legit 70mm screen. The problem is that the current digital version of IMAX looks like shit on a screen that big. Gravity had jagged edges galore.

I saw Interstellar there in 70mm, it looked amazing, but until they get the laser projectors I am never going to another non-film IMAX screening there. (And even then it will only be for native-2D films, unless they ever offer 2D screenings of 3D films, preferrably ones that don't involve just turning off one projector like the one 2D screening of Man of Steel I saw. I hope I get the chance to see the Infinity War movies in full 8K 2D laser IMAX using the maximum projectable resolution, but I know it's probably a fool's hope...)

I pay $19 for IMAX 3D showings and it's the only format that doesn't have matinee discount prices.

If you want to get a reminder of just how under-predicted this movie was, listen to the Movie Moan Podcast prediction for it.

 

Shawn predicted 170m total! That's insane in retrospect.

 

Just blows my mind how much this one over-performed already.

[PDC1987]

Lets hope yesterday stays above 24M before thinking about today. 

Dropping below $24 million would be a shock considering rth and Gitesh both said it was about even.

[DAR]

Keith just made a showdown including The Avengers, JW, and The Smurfs 3. WTF?

 

 

This is just my observation, but I don't think he has his arms around how this whole thing works. 

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Get all the money you can, Rexy!

Yeah I don't blame you. I wonder if they will put in the laser projectors for all IMAX screens (including LieMAX). I was actually pretty impressed by the digital IMAX projection quality for Interstellar. Part of that is probably because those IMAX scenes came straight from the highest quality film stock in the world.

 

But I also went to see the Interstellar at a different theater with its own premium large format called EPIC (Experience Perfection In Cinema) and it sure as heck seemed like the IMAX version had much better color and contrast, especially during the wormhole sequence.

Tuesday is out discount day. Regular day 2D is $11, 3D is $14.50. Tuesday a 2D is $6 and 3D is $9 but with either you can add popcorn and drink and altogether it's $12.

[baumer]

About 25% from Tuesday.

 

MOS fell 20%....just saying.

[jb007]

MOS fell 20%....just saying.

Actually I'm hoping for 15%.

[cory]

I go for LieMAX whenever possible. The sound on standard screens is so poor these days, and if I'm stuck with a 3D showing on a regular screen it's just not very fun.

Jurassic World had some wonderful surround effects, probably the best I can remember at a theater. At home it's a lot easier to notice.

SO IN CONCLUSION, The drop will be anywhere from 15 - 25%, anything below 15%, will guarantee 100M this weekend IMO. However, less than 20% doesn't rule it out.
