Posted by Porthos,

Really depends on what you're looking for, but usually the most important takeaway for just a casual glance is the comp.  More on that in a bit.   But even that is highly dependent on a movie being either in a similar genre or having a similar pre-sale pattern as folks will buy tickets at different times during a pre-sale window thanks to a very long list of factors.   Add in that movies will have different promotional schedules during their pre-sales (review embargoes, TV ca

MODERATION:   Hi, everyone. It’s 6 o’clock in the morning. I have not gone to bed yet. And I am tired. And I know it’s going to be a very long weekend. Here is the new rule.   This thread is for numbers and data. Please post your theater updates. Please post your comparable data. And please talk about that comparable data here.    If you wish to do a deep dive on why you think that data might or might not suck, then take it to the respective thread of the movie in ques

Eh, First Man just looks boring. The Martian, Interstellar and Gravity (other Fall sci-fi/space-themed openings) all had great hooks (stranded on Mars/saving humanity by traveling in the deep of the universe/a 3D-suspense-spectacle that had to bee seen in the cinema).

 

First Man just doesnt really look that exciting. The quality of a film doesnt mean that much for the box office, anticipation and demand dictates the numbers (see: Blade Runner 2049).

That's kinda the kicker...my spouse and I could go for free tomorrow (dual vets), and I still can't get up the desire to go...I've seen so many good NASA "space program" tv shows and movies...so it's like seeing a remake that's not a remake...I mean, how much more new ground can be found for the topic?  Hidden Figures found some...I don't think this movie did.  To me, it's like remaking Robin Hood...again...and again...and again...it better be the best thing on Earth to get me to pay to buy a ticket again b/c there are SO MANY other possible concepts and movies out there...

Pretty sure he cares more about making good movies more than he does about setting the box office on fire.

In another bad sign for First Man...my 2 locals are booked...only 1 of my 12s even booked the movie, putting it on 1.5 screens (6 showings total with an above average screen and a smallest screen) - and that same local put Goosebumps on 2 screens...

 

PS - The local that passed on First Man kept Venom on 4 screens and A Star is Born on 2...guess they see the holdovers as the 2 winners for the weekend...they did put Goosebumps up on a screen:)...

My area is safe, so everywhere around here is still open. I was looking at showtimes in Tallahassee and theaters up there are closed until Friday.
