Tonight at my theater:

 

The Meg:

7:00: 53/113

9:45: 4/113

Total: 57/226

 

Slender Man:

7:00: 3/78

9:30: 0/78

Total: 3/156

 

This is BIG for The Meg. It'll easily outsell Skyscraper.

Clearly the old folks of your area saw the ads and must've thought Jaws was getting a re-release.

At my (second) showing of Hereditary, an old lady in the back said “Oh, this must be tongue in cheek!” at the end of the trailer lmao

I'm just impressed she didn't die of a heart attack while watching Hereditary.

Pulse – 5 minutes of counting:

The Meg: 97 tickets sold. Comparisons: Skyscraper 56 tickets sold (but later in the day), Sicario2 44 (also a bit later in the day), The Equalizer2 82 same day and daytime (but The Meg is probably more frontloaded (?)).
BK: 28
SM: 11

And MT (not much change):
#1 CR 16.4%
#2 M: I6 16.1%

#3 Meg 11.6%
#4 MM2 7.1%
#5 HT3 5.5%

That whole group of old ladies actually enjoyed the movie and just thought it was a little slow

Meg is gonna be crazy frontloaded, so it definitely needs to hit at least 30 for the weekend.

Why would it be frontloaded though? It doesnt really have a fanbase and its not a franchise movie. Or are Shark movies usually frontloaded? If i remember correctly The Shallows (2016) had pretty good legs.

Because someone wants it to be true).

BlacKkKlansman	123	1925	6.39%
The Meg	258	2032	12.70%

 

Klansman Comps:

946% of Marshall (28.4M)

47% of Orient Express (13.4M)

410% of Roman Israel (18.2M)

154% of The Commuter (21.1M)

79% of Den of Thieves (12.1M)

332% of Hotel Artemis (10.7M)

118% of Superfly (8.1M)

 

 Of note, my theater's giving half of Klansman's showtimes to the second-largest auditorium. Doesn't seem to be working out too well for them, since only two showtimes have gone above 10 tickets. In fact, Thursday and Friday are taking up about 80% of Klansman's tickets sold, so don't be surprised if this film's frontloaded due to Lee's fanbase, at least for OW

 

Meg Comps:

142% of Blade Runner (46.4M)

28% of Thor: Ragna-Rok the Dragon (34.7M)

18% of Justice League (17.2M)

230% of Tomb Raider (54.4M)

119% of Ready Player Juan (49.9M)

15% of Deadpool 2 (19.2M)

24% of Solo (20.2M)

19% of Jurassic World (28M)

39% of Ant-Man 2 (29.4M)

62% of Equalizer 2 (22.4M)

62% of Fallout (37.7M)

 

This seems very, very good. I'm not fully confident in it crossing 30M just yet, but I feel like 25M is the minimum for this.

 the 7 p.m. blackkklansman has really well tonight. Between the rave reviews in the hype I can definitely see this film breaking out
