And the villagers will rejoice about it. Disney will start their own country some day. They'll charge us to live there and we'll gladly pay.

Poseidon Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) By the way, Deadline stated, that RO does not have too many sales for CD. They are right, but this is due to the fact, that those tickets weren't on sale in many theaters. The big arclights don't even have it on sale now, smaller ones seem to just have opend them and thatfor have barely any tickets sold so far. So this means nothing at this point I guess.

I'm gonna say that is an exception. We were required to post times for 3 prints for 3 weeks, I'm sure most of the country was the same. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrestrial Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 11 minutes ago, Poseidon said: Well, all Event-Movies in December, and this is going back to the Lord of the rings-times, show, that those movies, Hobbit, TFA, LoTR had considerably lower bumpsmon CD than all of the other movies that day. I don't see, why RO should behave different. Generally speaking: I'd look not too focused to/on older films, even if under 10 years back. The weekday patterns changed too much based on the cheap Tuesday = it is a rather new 'thing', especially in how strong it is spread and still spreading (snowball to avalanche - cause and futire... I thonk you will get the drift) Generally 2: nothing is set in stone, or there would be no fun for all the prediction fans which kind of films where in the weeks before (which genre is saturated and whoch not), around the same time , weather, holidays, sports events, traditions, money, crisis (no falling towers after 9/11), so many things play into it. Including mass boycott (or so they hope) = in general even a possibility, who knows the future (I hope not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look at the number of movies that have opened on a Wednesday: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/days/f-th.htm?page=Wed&sort=daysinrelease&order=ASC&p=.htm Thats also true, I overlooked that and that's probably a bigger reason than the ones I mentioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if you look at Tuesday in the same chart...the only releases seem to be July 4th and Christmas, whereas there are plenty of random Wednesday openings without a national holiday. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/days/f-th.htm?page=Tue&sort=daysinrelease&order=ASC&p=.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were required to post times for 3 prints for 3 weeks, I'm sure most of the country was the same. Countryside Germany = one per day (always at 8 in the evening) = exception the midnight Wednesday to Thursday 'preview' (we start there Thursdays) During the atypical pre-release pre-sale days, the latest possible day to pre-buy was tomorrow's Wednesday big city = way more times of dates. Quote . Sing is projected to take in at least $65 million and $75 million for the Wednesday to Monday stretch (with Christmas falling on a Sunday this year, Monday is an official holiday so tracking services are putting out six-day estimates) Passengers, the high-profile sci-fi adventure starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt, is projected to post an opening of $45 to $50 million for the six days, although Sony is being more conservative with a $35 million-plus estimate. Assassin's Creed ... is predicted to earn $30 million to $35 million for the six days, but it could come in ahead of expectations if fans of the video game come in force.

Dementeleus Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Tele Jr woke up and decided it was very important to show RETURN OF THE JEDI to his abuelita.

filmscholar Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Wow, nice hold. Star Wars movies aren't traditionally frontloaded either and get past 3x's in their sleep. I don't see how anything else isn't icing on the cake at this point. Even with the competition coming up I think 400 Million is definitely a lock Putting it up there in "A New Hope, Menace and Awakens" territory. The spin-off is performing like an Episode which is great for future side Star Wars stories if done right. Again Star Wars is re-writing December Box Office. It's crazy to think what it will do once it's back in the Summertime, lol. Nothing coming out in the next week is really going to be a threat and the movie will take advantage of Christmas and New Years holiday. But about 18 Monday is a good number.

titanic2187 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 AS I recall, TFA pre-sales lied heavily on 1st day of release and christmas day, while R1 doesn't have much CD sales, this was due to marketing, in the early trailer of TFA, they keep mentioning "This christmas", leading a lot of general public to "believe" that the 1st day of release was CD, hence making pre-sales were go to CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably would have opened in the 130's. Just compare its opening day (on a Thursday with school in session) with the performance of Dead Man's Chest (Friday in July). December release with good WOM should have no problem breaking 3.0 multiplier and that should happen easily for Rogue One.

Dark 33Legend of the Sith Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Great number for Rogue One to start the Christmas season onslaught. This will be an interesting Christmas season to follow with Christmas Eve/Christmas on a Sat/Sun and the same with New Years Eve/New Years Some deflated weekend totals to go with ridiculous weekday numbers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrestrial Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Quote Of note, and this is why I brought all of this up, Sherlock Holmes 2 and Alvin 3 (Mission: Impossible 4 had an IMAX sneak before going wide on Wednesday) had better “second Mon-Thurs” grosses than they did “first Mon-Thurs” grosses, since those second weeks of theatrical play came about when all the kids were out of school. We shouldn’t panic if Rogue One’s first few weekdays are not out-of-this-world because they might be (relatively speaking) next week. http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2016/12/20/star-wars-box-office-rogue-one-nabs-okay-17-7m-monday-for-323-5m-worldwide-cume/#24f1085b1e32 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
