These are not showing up as reserved seating so I can’t track them yet. I will do a final number on Thursday before I go to my show at 6:45pm.

TFA pre-sales were 42.3% of Weekend while TLJ and IW were 39% and 23% respectively.

 

I am expecting Endgame final pre-sales to be around $120-130mn Approx. Assuming A:EG play like the two SW films than being Avengers film (actually that's obvious 😂), we have a range of $285-333mn. Midpoint of that $309mn is something that pre-sales tell to bet on.

 

Further, if we allot $120mn in TLJ territory and $130mn in TFA territory, we get $307mn and change weekend. @Thanos Legion I think you wanna read this.

Chaos. Riots. 😂😂😂

 

Jokes aside, I just went through 50 pages of tracking and theater reports. People tracking their theater’s full OW are coming in around 45%. Just Thursday? 65+%. You go In the weeds to the premium screens, your looking at about 90%.

 

Not to sound like a broken record: at some point the theaters are going to run out of seats. (At least good seats that aren’t first row or ADA.) Bless the hearts of people who think they can just walk up to this movie.

@TalismanRing What's your definition of a 'complete sellout' and a 'sellout'? Thinking of doing a count myself.

Complete sellout: literally 0 seats availabe

Sellout: complete sellouts+”near sellouts.” Differently people define that near differently, I think Porthos essential uses 6 seats or fewer remaining, Tele was only first two rows have seats left, iirc Talisman was using only first row left but I’ll let them clarify for sure

Not her, just jumping in based on what Tele use to say:

 

Complete Sell Out: No seats. 

 

Sell Out: first row only, or scattered seats. 

 

It is the idea that people don’t like/won’t seat in the front row(s) or a stadium theater, so they are essentially sold out. 

 

 

[XXR vs XXR]

EG picking up compared to yesterday, but today looks like it could be the first day that is below 1.5x IW equivalent (9314 for IW). Through 17 hours...

 

Sunday - 7414

Can't wait for all this Endgame thing to go away so we can properly track Pika.

12 days before Infinity War released, the Fandango number was 9314. So far, EG has been ahead in equivalent sales by at least 80% every day. Today though, it does not look like EG will be able to match this number. I think 50% is going to be the max (50% over 9314 = 13971). EG is currently at 7414 with 7 updates to go.

LOL! That's like saying "Can't wait for the weekend to go away so I can get to Monday". DP box office is going to be booooring compared to EG OW.
