As I left, I saw this guy in his 30s with his wife with a sad look on his face as he said "Two to Sisters" The sex must be SPECTACULAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the normal increases and decreases that people are used to applying to get numbers are thrown out the window. The force is strong but so is Christmas shopping. We'll see which wins out. The pre sales data that was released indicated that only 55% of the pre sales were for this weekend and that the majority of that 55% was for Thursday and Friday. So that means imo, that Saturday and Sunday will get most of the business from walk ups. This is uncharted territory here. Can't wait to see where the journey takes us. 1 hour ago, Cmasterclay said: Look, when it comes down to sports, and box office in general, it's about isolating variables. The fight and the Derby were CLEARLY the only factors impact AOU's Saturday, and the Sunday hold confirmed that. This weekend, you cannot POSSIBLY isolate sports as the only intercedent variable having a statistical impact. There's so many other variables- shopping, travel, parties, church, and even baking fucking cookies- that can have an impact. It's just faulty statistical thinking to put all of the significance on ONE variable when there's so many in play Agreed. There are a lot of reasons why having a huge OW is unexpected in December and sports is just ONE of those reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeGuy2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Wait a minute... someone thinks Fantasy Football is going to factor into a slightly less than astronomical opening weekend? A "sport" that players need no more 5 minutes to set your lineup and let it all play out beyond your control? Because a fantasy football player who lucked into a matinee can't go 135 minutes without checking his phone? I have to laugh at that. Really really hard. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) So...in terms of dollars, DH2 did 3/4 of what TFA did. But how much in ticket sales? Potter had lower 3D shares. Did it sell 80% of the tickets TFA did on OD? Edited December 19, 2015 by Noctis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grey ghost Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 When I went to see TFA this morning (10 am) a theater worker said tickets were sold out till 6 pm. Is that normal for huge blockbusters on their first Saturday? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhawk the Hutt Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) Smithsonian IMAX is officially sold out for the rest of the weekend. Unreal. That's over $225,000 for 2 screens, by my rough calculation. Edited December 19, 2015 by Jayhawk the Hutt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potter did 45% in 3D, TFA was reported at 45% for previews but ithad a greater portion of that from IMAX/PLF and lower from RealD (Potter was about 9% IMAX/, negligible for PLF). Potter OD I have at 10.1M tickets. TFA I have at 11.7-11.8M and it will fluctuate until we get updated splits. Right now I've gone with the preview split of 25% RealD/10% IMAX/8% PLF. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
