filmlover Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 It seems like everyone's forgetting that it did see some screen cuts this weekend because the theaters had 5 other movies they needed to make room for. Like, here it's gone down from 7 screens (5 of which were in the big houses, of which there are 6) to 5 (3 of which in are in the biggest auditoriums). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk You are not alone on that [emoji38] I predicted like 10 million range for all of them except the big short which I think I predicted less than 10 million.

Yeah, but when I was looking through some data earlier, I noticed that kids movies generally didn't have huge increase s from the 24th to the 25th.

Still same number of theaters, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 1 minute ago, spizzer said: 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. Actually, around me most of the sell-outs for movies today have been in the afternoon/early evening. I guess it makes sense to load up the car and go to the movies right after opening presents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theendsnotnearitshere Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Ex Mrs. Bigelow must've offered some unobtanium to Disney in order to soften TFA crushing his silly movie's record by delaying it. That's the only logical reason for this shit to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Just now, superduperm said: Still same number of theaters, though. Yes, but the maximum capacity it can reach is not the same as it could just a day or two ago. But that's because theaters had obligations they needed to fulfill (even though Star Wars still has the 1-2 biggest auditoriums on lock). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Every second that 35-40 number is in the thread title, is another second I feel like I'm going to throw up. Revolting. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the biggest holiday if the year, even compared to Christmas Eve, the matinee business capacity is just larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to admit it but it's public record. I put the decimal in the wrong place on the Hateful 8 so instead of $2.5 million it's $25 million. I think we can safely say that I lost the derby worse than you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
