Nah, it is just trending exactly to WW there as well. Roughly same time on Tuesday before release and adjusting for competition, they are neck and neck on both Pulse as well as on MT

 

 

 

 

 

How is it comping with tasm2?

It better be #2 by tomorrow...

 

Will probably be #1 by tomorrow mid-day or so. Thats when most movies hit #1 depending on the competition around them.

A different era of online sales, and we didn't have Pulse updates back then. Basically a fruitless endeavor comparing them. I'm sure Fandango might give us a comp saying "SMH is outpacing TASM2" or similar tomorrow

Not by much 

The top 5 in terms of four day (May 26-29) was ~$150M, the top 5 in terms of the four day (actually a five day( June 30-July 3)) is $165M with the Monday are much higher not to mention today is a holiday. And since it's a five day holiday weekend, Tuesday is going to be higher than the Tuesday after Memorial Day openers.

Oh yeah, DM3 and Baby Driver were and are way bigger than Pirates and Baywatch were...not to mention this is a Tuesday of a holiday in summer, not a Tuesday after a holiday in non-summer...

[excel1]

More importantly, what are we expecting from Dunkirk when tickets go on sale this week?

Thats a small difference.

I think either this week or next week.

Still Tuesday is definitely going to be bigger by a wider margin compared to the Tuesday after Memorial Day.

[YM!]

In fact the Tuesday of DM3 and BD put together is going to be bigger than the top 5 from the Tuesday after Memorial Day.

Unlike the Tuesday after Memoral Day, today will have small dips. 2006 had drops of 20-25%, and I would anticipate those will be less now with the strength of Tuesdays today.

 

To make a finer point, the top ten of May 30 made $15.6M, today the top ten probably made at least $25M.

Also notes from North Shore Cinema:

- Presales for Girl's Trip have arrived but no Dunkirk or Valerian

- Apes is in Ultrascreen DLX 3D that GV2 and Homecoming got rather than Ultrascreen DLX that P5, WW, C3, TF5, and DM3 got.

Spider-Man: Homecoming (Thursday previews)

 

North Shore Cinema (all showings in Ultrascreen 3D for now)

Mequon, WI 

7/6/17 - (5 days before release)

7:00 - 124/301

9:55 - 21/301

Spider-Man: Homecoming (Thursday previews)

 

North Shore Cinema

Mequon, WI

7/6/17 - (2 days before release) 

7:00 - 143/301 - USCR3D

7:15 - 24/139 - 2D

7:40 - 8/163 - 2D

9:55 - 26/301 - USCR3D 

10:15 - 7/139 - 2D

10:45 - 3/163 - 2D

 

Considering that the final showtimes were listed today with literally 2/3 of the showings posted four hours ago, the presales are pretty solid for the 2D showings. Solid increases for Ultrascreen DLX 3D showings.

$35M seems about where I expected Dunkirk to start at. For better or worse, this is still a war movie with no box office draws that will be a testament to the director's drawing power. Reviews are gonna either make or break it. Ditto Valerian, which always looked too odd to really catch on with the masses.

Someone might as well start a VALERIAN Under FIFTH ELEMENT club, see if you can get the negative nellies to bite.  

 

edit: more specifically, the OWs.
