Holy shit. 5x?

With this many pre sales, don’t be surprised if it ends up internally frontloaded like a SW movie.

I fully admit that I argued that lol 

 

A month ago I was thinking $250m OW / $625m DOM / $1.85b WW

 

Happy to be wrong though

On one hand, this is what happens when you basically cut the pre-sale sales window in half.  

 

On the the other hand, Daaaamn.

Fantastic morning start for Little!

Hellboy disappointing as expected.

Missing Link sadly seems a little low, but I guess it might pickup later / be more walkup heavy.

After is doing... okay I guess? No idea what expectations are here for that

Completely agree. What some users have been extrapolating from MT is absurd. The extrapolations from actual ticket sales is more amenable.

 

Tickets bought in person aren't accounted for (and we know that walkups are definitely a thing in NA, unlike some other countries), MT, as we've seen multiple times before (particularly with foreign movies) is not representative of the whole NA. Also add to that that I'm pretty sure MT splits CA and USA up, whereas the users here are using compiled data. 

When I say $65mn, that's after accounting all that. If I was simply taking MT ratio or Fandango pulse, it would be close to 85mn.

 

e.g. during FSS EG was 38% of Shazam, which would give around $18mn, I took only $13mn.

 

Besides, I always said, its for general idea not the actual numbers.

So after just perusing Fandango, waiting until Pikachu tickets go on sale, I noticed a couple of things. John Wick has tickets on sale...well, it seems to be only a handful of theaters, since there's only one theater in my area availalbe, but I checked akvalley, and they seem to have gone on sale this past Monday. I'm a little unsure of tracking this one just yet (depends on the demand from y'all), but that's cool I guess.

 

Also, Secret Life of Pets 2 has showtimes posted, but not available for purchase yet. I don't know why they would have them posted so early, but whatever. I'm definitely tracking that.

SLoP2 was ridiculous in the UK. Tickets were available for it even before Endgame...

[Stewart]

Pikachu tickets are now available to purchase!

[XXRDJisDoctorDoom]

@Deep Wang First Colony finally got a decent slate up for Thursday. Went from 6 to 19 showings yesterday. Still only 8 screens being used for it.

[MrPink]

No Dolby for Pikachu at my theater, I will wait. 🧐

No idea, after 10 mins I checked a few theatres and nothing. On Pulse they're coming up as frequently as Us at the moment. Though it'll take time for people to realise they're available.

 

I'm currently seeing maybe 10 a minute? Perhaps 5k for first day, depends on rush really.
