He wanted no spoilers in his theater That reminds me of this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladels Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I think everyone is being cautious because previews number is skyhigh. With 125-130m Friday If it plays like DH2: 231-240m OW THG: 281-292m OW Marvel: 312-325m OW Avatar: 369-383m OW I'm thinking 260-270m OW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we talk about it, are we going to spoil it for you?" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Just realized if the upper end of these numbers hold up then TFA might make $200 million in two days. That's fucking insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avengers made about $62M on Friday subtracting previews. How are you getting another $66M on top of the ~$189M that Avengers made without previews if the Friday was only up $5M? Your low end with Avengers legs would be $204M + $57M = $261M, not $312M. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedarpoint1111 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I feel so left out. Thinking about watching these movies now... The theatre I go to has every showing sold out until tomorrow 11:45pm. I have never seen that before ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 The best reaction from Star Wars to me that says it's gonna play well is that my little brother liked it. He says "it was okay" to every movie I go with him to, but after this one he was like "Miles ahead of the Prequel Trilogy" and that it was "great" The only movie I've seen with him that I heard it's good are comedies, and he hates action oriented stuff, and he loved it.

I've been wanting to catch them for a while but the only legal way to watch them is to purchase them and I didn't want to do that without seeing if I liked them first. In fact I was surprised they were nowhere to be found on TV this week. I'm seeing TFA with some friends who are fans tomorrow and I have decided if I enjoy it as much as they say I will I'll go blind buy the other movies.

I know a couple of people that are doing the same thing. I'll wait until they see it to see if they understand anything before I bite the bullet.

spizzer Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Old fashioned Saturday sellout report. All 2D shows at Tysons tomorrow morning and afternoon are ~70-80% full (only front rows available), as well as all ETX shows. Evenings for 2D are a bit lighter right now, IMAX is literally 95-100% all day. 3D's a similar case to 2D, but not as consistent ($17.59 for a 8:45AM ) Regal Gallery Place has a number of 2D sellouts throughout the day. Only 2 sellouts at Regal Ballston but 37 shows there so hard do so, plus Tysons/Hoffman/DC screens are pretty close by. AMC 1 in Uptown DC has sold out 1 of 4 shows. AMC Georgetown has sold out all 5 IMAX and a 3D and 2 2Ds. Hoffman's all done for IMAX but nothing else though there's 38 shows. Nothing at Regal Majestic but there's 50 shows there.. AMC in Columbia Mall looks strong in the mornings and is sold out for all IMAX. AMC Potomac Mills is sold out in the morning for all 2D and waning up there for matinees/afternoons. Arclight Bethesda (42 shows) weak mornings, but looking like 65-75% full from 10AM - 9PM for all shows across formats. Weaker late evenings for now. To summarize - both showtime count and business look like all time highs for a Saturday in my area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really curious to see if Saturday has an increase minus previews and if so how much. OD was already great with previews like DH2 and rest of proper Friday like TA1/JW, it was hybrid of those 3.
