I posted this on the TFN forum, but Variety just published an article mentioning the 4th quarter average ticket price was $8.70.

 

I know some people are throwing out $10 average ticket prices for TFA based on anecdotes, but I call BS to that. TFA was a large portion of the 4th quarter box office and when you consider that it had STRONG matinee showings for two weeks in a row, with a lot of children's tickets, it's a bit unbelievable to suggest the average ticket price for its run will be above $9.25. I think it's fair to say it's higher than the 4th quarter average, but that's also speculation, not supported by any actual factual data since we don't track ticket sales.

 

If TFA hits $925M I think it's more than fair to say it sold 100 million tickets.

@Daxtreme what do you think, did the deletion of the distributers, also the deletion of the different ways to show time-in-release (days vs weeks), plus adding color marks... help?

 

One thing that I do not find a solution:

if I forgot to add an empty line above, in between... chart(s) there is no chance to get anything later on in between, when copying out of charts (using 'format'), including via edit.

@Daxtreme what do you think

 

Yes colors definitely help! The confusion mainly came from the fact that you posted disjointed numbers from different days (monday vs week-end), and like 1 or 2 movies at a time xD

All due respect to Variety (reporting NATO's numbers, presumably), but spizzer's and red's breakdowns are probably more accurate than a generalized average.

I tried to be fast, as the actuals got released (and they in between didn't update both charts), as ppl were waiting partly since yesterday (not all were aware about a 4-day weekend means later than usual actuals)

I do not like that BO.com and The-Numbers do not offer an alternative 4-day view, but they are way faster than BOM, so...

Fortunatedly such kind of weekends are not that often happening. For BO presentation. For workers... please more.

I would say 950M gets you 100M admissions.

[tokila]

Well Rev's lifetime gross passed TFA's 3rd weekend yesterday. Kinda mind blowing if you think about it.

[JonathanLB]

Perhaps, it seems like a guessing game, that's for sure. I really wish they would track admissions. 

 

I believe TFA will have roughly 100 million admissions, though, and what other movie has ever had 100 million admissions in a single theatrical release besides Titanic (128M or something?)? Not Gone With the Wind, that's for sure, it had a limited first run. Star Wars landed at 99.2M in 1977. I can't think of much else on that chart that hasn't been re-released to get to its adjusted total.

Woah, The Met Live in HD made 2M?

Maybe they know and will release something, if/when it reaches that milrstone?

 

(I'm never sure about the correct use of if and when...)

ET hit over 100M in first run.

I'm impressed too, 3-day weekend chart, on 900 places, if they'd gotten 100 more, BO.com even would have listed them in their 'top' chart.

 

Still wondering why they list that, but I nowhere can find Sherlock (BBC) BO details for it's limited US release (at least 2 days, each I think at 500 locations)

I knew about one holiday, but Tuesday is a holiday in two states. They are normal holidays, as in school's closed?

 

Here during a holiday the 'cheap day' isn't active, means the Sunday rules count.

 

A slight chance to influence the Tuesday's outcome?

 

Jan 19	Tuesday	Robert E Lee's Birthday	State holiday	Florida
Jan 19	Tuesday	State Holiday	State holiday	Texas
