Aren't ads generated based on what a person's Internet history or searches are?

I don't think so. I mean I've looked nothing up that would relate to that film. In fact my most recent searches (past month) have all been medical school related. My fiancé got the same exact ad too. 

 

I think its IP based on location and then the video you're playing. For example, when I play a different video, I don't get that ad. The people who put the ads just assume that the folks who are watching a particular video, will be interested in that product.

What Google-related searches would even get associated with Happy Death Day anyway? "How to get away with murder" (and not just the Viola Davis TV show)?

IT #1 on Pulse again. Not sure how long it's been up there

I imagine any movie related search or click could get you more points in an algorithm toward a movie trailer instead of a car or fashion product ads, no ? No need to be about a movie in particular.

I have to see mother! letterboxed though ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[filmlover]

I feel like mother! could open anywhere between $10M to $25M. We'll find out this time next week when it screens at Venice whether Aronofsky has made an accessible movie or not.

Looking at what size auditoriums Disney Springs is putting upcoming releases in:

 

Home Again is going in their biggest while It is getting the second biggest size. They have one other auditorium with 353 seats, so I imagine It gets that one too.

American Assassin is in a 153 seat auditorium while mother! is in a 130 seat one. Both will probably get a Dine-In screen too.

Go Jennifer

I think the trend seen at my theater and Disney Springs will probably be common practice. mother! is still a horror movie and will make the bulk of its gross during the evening, so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to put it in a bigger auditorium even if it'll be in the Top 2 that weekend.

Also, I don't think American Assassin is doing Thursday previews. No theater has Thursday showings up for AA, yet there are mother! previews. Keep in mind only AMCs have tickets up now, but they all have tickets for both films on Friday.

Perhaps American Assassin isn't being screened for critics. Wouldn't surprise me, it reminds me of Abduction.

@CJohn Fall hours hath begun  The last showing for any movie is now at 8 PM on weekdays and Sunday (First shows are at 11 AM during the week and 10 AM Friday-Sunday). Leap has the 2nd Biggest only for its evening show because they needed to get another showing of THB in before close. Before the summer, the final show was normally at 8:30 Sunday-Thursday while opening was at 10 or even 9:30. The past month they've been opening at 11 from Monday-Thursday, and that's staying the same this fall from the looks of it.

AMC mentioned cutting costs was a priority they started end of July and will continue into 2018.  They mentioned this included fewer temp shifts, cutting some early showings, and then cancelling some corporate positions they were previously looking to fill.  Honestly it makes sense for them to be a little more strategic with expenses after getting stung this summer
