The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

[Boxofficerules]

Any Strangers: Prey At Night news? Not seeing much buzz at all but felt that way about Insidious 4 (although that was a sequel to a recent series).

A Wrinkle In Time 

North Shore Cinema

3/8/18 (4 days before previews, 5 before release)

Mequon, WI

 

7:00 - 6/301 - USCR

9:45 - 0/301 - USCR 

 

Running 28.5% ($14.5M OW) of Coco, 37.5% ($10.5M OW) of Wonder, and 85.7% ($25.4M) of Daddy’s Home 2. However it is worth noting it has Ultrascreen for previews so results may vary but overall doesn’t look good.

This morning's MT.com...

50.2% Black Panther

10.5% Red Sparrow

6.9% Death Wish

6.8% Game Night

6.2% Peter Rabbit

[Morieris]

How many new releases are this week, only the four?

 

Currently, one of our theaters - the biggest - is getting all four, two are only getting Wrinkle, and one is getting Strangers.

 

Really hope our Regal gets Gringo and Heist...they can push out Maze Runner and 12 Strong, I'm surprised they've held on this look. Good for them. Get out.

[TwoMisfits]

MT.com - good early sign for a Wrinkle of Time to already be showing up...

47.7% Black Panther

10.1% Red Sparrow

7.7% Death Wish

5.9% Game Night

3.9% Wrinkle in Time, A

Death Wish	17	1050	1.05%
Red Sparrow	89	1366	3.44%
Wrinkle in Time	167	1582	10.56%

 

 

In case I don't have the time to do comps tomorrow, Death Wish is currently 47% of The Foreigner ($6.2M), 21% of The Commuter ($2.9M), 54% of 12 Strong ($8.7M), 11% of Den of Thieves ($1.7M), 35% of 15:17 to Paris ($4.4M), and 57% of Annihilation ($6.3M)

 

Don't have many good comps for Red Sparrow unfortuneately.

Wrinkle in Time	454	1582	28.70%
Strangers	0	1672
Tomb Raider	2	1560	0.13%

 

Wrinkle in Time got a huge boost over the past few days, and in terms of family films is above every other film's 3-Day ticket sales except Wonder. Strangers and Tomb Raider just started sales today, so that's why there are little to no ticket sales. Gringo and Hurricane Heist aren't coming to my theater.

Gringo is gonna do so bad this weekend. I won't be surprised if it goes sub-$4M tbh.

Was initially hoping for $10m for Strangers but it doesnt look possible. Seems like there is zero promotion. I’m not even seeing anything on social media and I follow all the big horror sites.

Mequon, WI

 

7:00 - 24/301 - USCR

That is big jump for Winkle and a great one too. Now it’s 41% ahead of DH2 ($41.8M OW) and 50% ahead of Wonder ($41.25M OW). However it’s 47% behind Coco ($27.1M OW).

WiT definitely shows signs of a higher OW than the likes of JC/Tomorrowland. Sticking with 50m+. 

[TwoMisfits]

MT.com - even on discount Tuesday, WiT moving up to #4...

38.8% Black Panther

11.8% Red Sparrow

8.8% Death Wish

6.1% Wrinkle in Time, A

5.4% Game Night

My theater (which is now back to a 20 screen theater with the refurbishments done) is putting Strangers in one of the smallest auditoriums with 50 seats. Ouch.

[DAJK]

But guys... what about Hurricane Heist

Our biggest theater is getting it so far, but it's SO far away...our Regal got Hostiles so I'm counting on them to get this.

 

Can't wait to be the only person in the theater on Friday

looooooooool at Gringo and Hurricane Heist being put in the smaller auditoriums. When a flop horror movie is being favored for a bigger auditorium, you know something is wrong  

I'm a bit surprised Game Night now has most of its shows in the smallest auditorium, but it's been performing really poorly the past few days. I guess it isn't skewing to seniors

Fuck it, imma say Hurricane Heist blows past predictions and does something stupid like 10M like Hostiles did.

 

Gringo gonna do sub 5M

 

Strangers I'll say 11M
