Haha I meant Dunkirk 

 

Right now, both locals are only doing a single screen...I'll check their sales when I get a chance...

 

Now, as I posted elsewhere, they make last minute changes based on sales for the movies, so if they add to these original screens with extra showings or a full extra screen, that's a good sign:)...but we'll see how it goes...

 

For the record, they both have Valerian on a single split screen (2d/3d) and Girls Trip also on a single screen...for now...

To answer your question excel1, not too well at my theater (North Shore Cinema), it's still early but for Thursday night, it's sold 10 tickets in total, with all previews in our PLF. In comparison, with no PLF Valerian has sold 12, and Girl's Trip has sold more than both of them combined in the 7:00 showing with 36, and 44 total seats despite smaller auditoriums and less showings than both (V and D has 3 vs GT 2).

Pre-sales at a few theaters I checked look pretty terrible for both Valerian and Dunkirk. But at least they don't come out for 10 days. Apes comes out in 3 days and the ticket sales look very slow. Going to need some really good walk-ups Thursday evening.

What about big D

 

He wanted to go play laser-tag but Tasha made him stay home and watch Adam, Bree, Chase, and Leo.

I expect presales for Dunkirk to look bad in anything outside of IMAX and maybe 70mm screenings. If they don't have IMAX, it's probably not looking great.

 

Thursday night shows look pretty solid in the places I checked, but I expect that. More curious how Friday goes.

every tom cruise movie since war of the worlds has been the real test for tom cruise and every single one ends up okay or better when all is said and done.

Tom Cruise is one of the few actors alive who can bring in a quarter of a billion dollars for a sci-fi film. Or any film for that matter.

Heading into its second weekend against 20th Century Fox’s War for The Planet of the Apes, Homecoming is expected to ease 55%-57% for $50M-$53M; an average decline for a superhero tentpole that has opened strongly. Tracking currently has Apes notching a No. 1 rank in the high $50Ms to low $60Ms.

 

Doubtful..but walks up should help

If homecoming managed to drop to above $50m while apes could make to open to $65m or more, this will be a very rare occasion that two live action gross more than $50m in one weekend, hardly find any others pair of live action film that both gross more than $50m in one weekend

As far as I could find, it's only occurred two weekends for 2 live action films, one was Avatar's second weekend when Sherlock Holmes opened to $50m+, then the second is Iron man 3's second weekend when The Great Gatsby opened to just a smidge over $50m. 

 

If you leap in animation, you have a couple more including shrek 2's second weekend and Inside Out OW/Jurassic World 2nd's.

 

so having only happened at end of 2009, midway through 2013, and now potentially midway through 2017. Eerily consistent over the years (roughly every 4 years)

And if it happens then for live action movies all 3 will involve RDJ

Nice to see three quality films on top 3.

I saw a sale for Wish Upon pop up.  Was that someone here who just ordered that ticket?
