a2k Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I'm guessing a lot of people in Silicon Valley are buying tickets for it, Silicon Valley/San Jose may as well be absorbed into Andhra or Telangana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Oh really? Ok. I thought Tamil ones opened huge, maybe not. Tamil movies open decently well but Telugu do a lot better. OK Kanmani did well in the US this year, but nothing compared to a many Telugu movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 not really, that sort of analysis is so basic that is does a disservice to analyzing BO in context. A dollar isn't worth the same over time, it's silly to just say the unadjusted gross is the end all be all gross sorry. Yeah, does anyone really think JP4 is 80% more popular than the original JP film? That's how it looks when you compare 650 with 357 gross. The National Assocation of Theater Owners is nice enough to provide the average ticket price every quarter. It's foolish to ignore that data when we have it available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you getting these numbers? The all star cast of Rana, Prabhas and Sudeep is probably too much to ignore for people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Gopher, do you have some refined estimates for yesterday's numbers? Rth is pretty much on point. Crazy that MMXXL and TG are down the same amount from last Wednesday given their 5-day IMs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Disney Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Yeah, does anyone really think JP4 is 80% more popular than the original JP film? That's how it looks when you compare 650 with 357 gross. The National Assocation of Theater Owners is nice enough to provide the average ticket price every quarter. It's foolish to ignore that data when we have it available. I always use inflation adjusted numbers. It's the only way to try to compare movies from different time periods and to put a movie's BO into proper historical context.

baumer Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 JP played in about half the theaters that JW is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) Yes, there are other factors (population, how often people went to the movies in general, etc.) but price inflation is a good start. Theater/screen saturation is important to note too. These films sold more tickets from a smaller population, with fewer theaters and far fewer screens. I remember that in the days before megaplexes and Fandango, my parents were always wary about going to see a film on opening weekend, because of the risk of waiting in line only to find out the showing we wanted was sold out, and having to wait around for up to two hours for the next showing (depending on whether said movie was on two screens, or just one). I seem to remember us buying advance tickets for Batman Forever the morning of, and waiting in a massive line around the building just for ticket holders, before our auditorium opened up.) We did sometimes buy tickets at the BO for a showing two hours out, get dinner, then come back. Part of the blessing/curse of more theaters and presales is that films open bigger, but legs are that much weaker because there aren't as many people waiting it out. (Not the only reason, I know, the Internet and all, just interesting.) Edited July 9, 2015 by TServo2049 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 For the IO fans, this is beautiful-- MAKE NO MISTAKE, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS; A FILM ABOUT THE DAWN OF MATURITY, EVEN IF THAT DAWN IS REALLY JUST CONTAINED WITHIN A SINGLE MOMENT. BUT WHAT IS SO AMAZING ABOUT INSIDE OUT IS THAT IT HAS SUCH CLARITY WHEN IT COMES TO THE THINGS THAT MAKE US ERUPT OUT OF CHILDHOOD AND INTO THE WORLD OF ADOLESCENCE. FOR IT FOCUSES ON THE SIMPLY STUPENDOUS IDEA THAT WHAT MAKES US TRULY GROW UP IS THE IDEA THAT MEMORY CAN BE COMPLEX. http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2015/07/08/quick-takes-hulk-vs.-inside-out And for the JW fans, this is beautiful-- https://soundcloud.com/birdfeeder/jurassic-park-theme-1000-slower 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRing Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 JP played in about half the theaters that JW is. And far less screens but then screens were bigger then on avg though not nearly as large as the old screen palaces. It also sold approx 86,205,800 tickets in the U.S. or about 16.6m more than the current total of JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Minions may not be great, haven't seen it, but I'd like if it broke the Shrek's franchises records. I've had enough of mediocre superhero movies being forgiven for doing gangbusters and when it's a different kind of movie with similar reviews everyone hopes it doesn't do well.

Maxmoser3 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 BoxOffice.com Fandango reports MINIONS is out-pacing INSIDE OUT as 2015's top pre-seller among animated releases. #Minions i can't trust ticket sales anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Screens were bigger on average? I guess, but a couple older multiplexes still survive around here, and their largest auditoriums don't have any more seats than the biggest non-large-format auditoriums at the megaplexes. Most multiplexes' largest auditoriums in 1993 were about equal to or less than the biggest auditoriums at modern theaters, weren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
