So Son of Saul fizzled out too. Guess I'll be finalizing my 2015 theatrical viewings with Room sometime this week

I would say either Creed or The Big Short

 

Well, my workout for the day is a "fighter" routine, so I'm going to go with that theme and watch Creed. Thanks for the suggest!

Good call

It's funny when you look at the per theater averages and realize there must be a lot of REALLY crappy theaters out there. Like my TFA showing last night at 7:15 p.m. had 50 people in it minimum, at $18 per ticket for IMAX, which is $900. That's one single showing and it's showing on two screens, a regular 2D screen as well. The average for the whole weekend per theater is $4,000. That means there must be some empty, crappy theaters in the middle of nowhere dragging down the average. Figure my theater is pulling just 150 people per day to the IMAX, that's $8,100 over the weekend for the IMAX screen. If the 2D screen is doing just $3,000 that's still well over $10K from that theater and it's not really a special theater.

Most theater screens are a lot smaller than that. The average screen might be at 100-150 people, but I'd bet on the low end.

 

So say you've got a small theater, 100 seats, 4 showings a day, so 1200 tickets sold over the weekend. If it had an $8 ticket price and sold out the weekend, it's going to get $9600. That's if it's sold out.

 

TFA is a 6 week old film. It's still popular, but it's not going to sell out. So this small theater may only have 2 or 3 showtimes a day. Say 8 over the weekend. And it's pulling in 40 people a screening, which is optimistic. So now it's $2500 for the weekend. It's still doing good business for that theater.

 

Also, pretty much by definition, IMAX is special.

It's really incredible to see that only one wide movie has a better PTA than TFA

Dunno about Ghost in the Shell, but it seems stupid to me to drop The Girl on the Train. That book is hugely popular. It is freakin everywhere.

You guys think SPECTRE will still get to 200 million?

Well, with $199.3M it has so far and a run that could close around late February or early March......i think so.
