wildphantom Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 There's no way this can be right. Can it? What's that? A 40% increase from Christmas Eve? I'll be amazed if the real figure is under $50 million. Makes no sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 So a 25% jump from Christmas Eve? Yep. Sure. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasanahmad Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 See guys I told you it was front loaded. For a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Lol @ anyone who actually calls this number bad or anything. We're now in the time of year where people can go to the movies anytime they want over a nearly three week stretch, and obviously this isn't a typical movie released in December. The numbers for the openers range from great (Daddy's Home) to decent (Joy) to okay (Concussion) to poor (Point Break). No real surprises other than Daddy's Home, which seemed like it could go either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayhawk the Hutt Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Well. I'll wait for Rth. But this would be extremely surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasanahmad Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Worst 2nd weekend drop in the history of Christmas weekend for a blockbuster ? Wow this is a bad drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superduperm Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Looks like we'll need confirmation from RTH. A lot of us are really skeptical about this number. I suppose it could behave like TDK (second Friday being below first Monday) but this is Christmas Day, one of the heaviest movie-going days of the year, and there's a chance it could be below Tuesday and Wednesday too? I'm sorry I'm just really skeptical. I'm not trying to save face or damage control anything, this just doesn't seem mathematically correct. Even $45M I could believe.

damnfine Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) Has to be an error sales are much higher than Monday Tuesday , at least at the cinema I check. Not that extrapolating from one cinema is that reliable but it does suggest a big jump Edited December 26, 2015 by damnfine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spizzer Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I'd be pretty surprised with that number. I'm guessing that matinees were around ~20M and THR is incorrectly extrapolating another 15-20M from evenings, using the precedent from the weekdays. Evenings should actually be 30-40M. 35-40M doesn't make much sense, no matter how you split it up, it would either mean matinee business is weaker today than yesterday, or that evening business is weaker than yesterday. Neither of those is feasible. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
