Not surprised to see AMC Burbank at the top. Though I was mainly just checking for Thursday previews, they were selling a LOT of tickets. Even though I didn't track a lot of sellouts, their auditoriums were very full, and most seat a good number of people as well.

 

ArcHollywood/El Cap/Chinese together must be MASSIVE.

Speaking from experience.  Starting school later in the morning is a bad idea.

What experience is that?

[JonathanLB]

Wow I am kind of surprised by the AMC Burbank to be honest. I used to go to that theater all of the time, especially before my neighborhood flagship Regal L.A. Live theater was finished. I just am surprised because there's nothing at all special about that AMC Burbank. Like it's just your average suburban theater, but it's absolutely enormous, that's probably why it's #1. The more famous, well known theaters simply don't have that much seating capacity compared to their, what, 30 screens or something? Crazy. I have been to most of the L.A. area theaters on that list anyway, which is cool.

 

I wonder what the top Portland area theater was. I honestly wouldn't even be able to guess, like I would want to say Lloyd because of the large IMAX screen but it's only an 11-plex, and my Bridgeport theater has 18 screens, biggest in the area, but it didn't seem THAT busy to me compared to TFA.

AMC Burbank has been substantially remodeled in the last several years. In addition to their big LieMAX screen, they have a Dolby Cinema auditorium that supposedly is top-notch (I haven't visited yet).

Sometimes it's just a matter of location. AMC Gulf Pointe in Houston is a trashy place from what I remember, but it's located at the intersection of some major highways and toll roads. Seems like the place is always pretty crowded.

My high school had a split day so that the lower years went in the morning and the upper years went in the the afternoon and only overlapped for 2 periods on the middle of the day.  In theory it might sound like a good idea but in practice I never did anything much in the morning once I was in the upper years.

I'm assuming AMC Burbank has more capacity in terms of seats compare for the Empire 25 even though the Empire has six more screens. I wished I'd gone to see a film the Arclight Hollywood or the TCL Chinese Theatre when I was in LA but was pressed for time and ended up seeing Sully at the Pacific Theatre at the Grove. 

 

Im surprised the Scotiabank isn't higher, that cinema is bloomin' huge.

Monday at my theatre now looking closer to 18-21. Hopefully that means good things for the rest of the weekdays.

I'm surprised nothing from the Chicago area ever pops up in these lists

Well no kidding, that's when you should be SLEEPING! I never took classes before noon in college because that's sleep time. Not everyone prefers to get up ass early in the morning you know Actually it's a fairly high percentage of people who don't like getting up early ever. Everyone's body is different, it's called your chronotype. It's old mythology based on industrial era thinking that you can just "force" yourself to go to a different sleep schedule and feel the same. No matter where I was in life, I have always defaulted to 4 a.m. to noon as soon as I got the chance. Even if I was getting up at 6 during the week I'd still get up at noon on weekends. The problem is forcing everyone into narrow paths just because "that's how society functions," which is less and less true as the years pass thankfully. While we have to -- as a company -- have a few employees who keep the same hours as businesses with which we deal, I try to make sure hours are flexible for our editor so that if he wants he can avoid getting up early. The last thing I want is for creative people to feel constrained by work times that don't make sense for them or their bodies, then they're taking longer to finish projects because of me forcing them arbitrary to work at such and such hours. 

 

Like most things in life, though, we're stuck with these nonsense hours because that's "just the way things have always been," no other logical reason. There are so many examples of idiocy in the way hours work that it's almost unbelievable. I think if an alien came down to earth and saw the United States, they may have the same questions I do -- WHY is the bank open only during business hours when EVERYONE IS WORKING?! Why are tons of customer-centered businesses closing at 6 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. when the vast majority of people work all fucking day long and can't possibly go to these businesses without taking time off work? It makes no sense.

That city doesn't really have a big, centrally located multiplex, "Top Engagements" are somewhat rare.

great Sunday/weekend hold for Moana. Are kids out of school in the US starting this Monday? it would have more decent weekdays than usual till the Leviathan arrives on Wednesday. 

speaking of which, @WrathOfHan I thought you would like to read this review and the comment section  http://www.avclub.com/review/animated-karaoke-bash-sing-aims-cute-lands-irritat-246730

I'll gladly defend Sith for a long time. It has its flaws, but the action is a lot of fun and it features some of the saga's best tracks.

 

Tele's number in the mid 17's would seem more likely based on your theater's over-performance during the weekend.

I read the review earlier and was saving the comments for later but never got around to it. Thanks for reminding me
