The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

[IceFire9yt]

I would guess somewhere in between.  Its definitely going to be less pre-sale heavy than Captain Marvel, but there's still more of a fanbase element than for this than say, Dumbo.

I think there is something wrong with alkavely 24hr. Presales figure. They can't be that low for 24 hrs. 😱😱😱😱

They always reset once Monday rolls around, so they don't include the Sunday results rolled into it. What you're looking at right now is midnight to 8AM

If it's possible, JW2 and aquaman. I sound like a broken record.😅

I agree with half your broken record. 😁

 

I'd say AQM and AM&TW

 

It will skew younger but it's still a CBM from DC and it's also PG-13

[Matthew]

Don't want to come as negative or something. But so far presales for Monday looks low. Momentum is not like well reviewed Superhero movie. Hope it has good walk ups.

How’s PS doing compared to TOD and AQP on Fandango’s pre-sales? I want to see if it’s more likely going closer to $40m than dropping in the low $20m.

Well, over the last hour it's done 48% of Shazam.   But it's really too early to tell.

Thanks! Doing half of a SH movie is pretty good considering it will be more walkup.

 

How do I put a profile pic btw?

You require minimum number of posts, I don't know the number. It's like 10 or 20. Try it.

[MrGlass2]

Aquaman is probably the best comparison (because of early access) so to hit tracking, Shazam "should" get at least 6000 on Fandango today. No point in comparing it to cartoons just because the numbers are low.

The hype for Shazam has remained low. It seems that the huge audience that goes and sees MCU movies are totally ignoring Shazam. Which is kinda expected.

 

I think Shazam will come under Dumbo's opening weekend in NA.

[TalismanRing]

Shazam -

 

My local has 5 preview shows on two screens (300+). As right now it's sold

 

8 tickets over two 3D showings 

46 tickets over three 2D showings - (more than half from the 7pm showing)
 

Not usual CBM numbers, not even close to what I recall for AQM * AM&TW

 

The 4pm start time of Shazam is going to be the biggest problem as a comp when trying to figure out comparisons for previews.

 

 

[TMP]

All WB had to do was actually try to market this thing. It’s gonna be one of the best reviewed superhero films of the last 5 years, and not make that much money.

I think Warner Bros want family audience to see the movie on Thursday to develop a good wom. 

 

This movie fates totally depends on WOM. 

 

I wouldn't be surprised if it gets A or A+

Shazam! Is selling better that Dumb Dumbo.

And remember the 3.3M in previous.

I dont know where you get you data.

The trend seems to be that Shazam will not reach even a 40M opening in NA. These are terrible figures and the reviews have done nothing to make people want to see Shazam.

[That One Girl]

Shazam! should hit 50M or so.

[Rebeccas]

Presale data is going to look weird af after 8am tomorrow this week too. Very unpredictable for Shazam.

[Gavin Feng]

sometimes ticket sale isn't so helpful. I remember Venom is not strong in pre-sale but finally hit $80M by the powerful buzz. Hard to say if Shazam! is also the case.

The %s will be crazy skewed b/c of EG but that shouldn't affect the amount of tickets sold for Shazam by much
