T-7 days:

JW2           122 tickets sold [0 sellouts/111 showings |  9272/11263 seats left  | 17.68% sold]

Pika (JW)      66 tickets sold [0 sellouts/66 showings   | 5701/6526 seats left     | 12.64% sold]

FB2           123 tickets sold [0 sellouts/94 showings   | 11165/13377 seats left | 16.54% sold] 

Pika (FBj)     66 tickets sold [0 sellouts/66 showings   |  6181/7039 seats left    | 12.19% sold]

Pika (JW) is the number of tickets sold at the same theaters I had tracking info for Fallen Kingdom

Pika (FB) is the number of tickets sold at the same theaters I had tracking info for Crimes of Grindelwald

For clarification, the number of tickets sold is just for that one day, correct?  Whereas the number of seats left and percentage sold is cumulative?

Final count for today, just Thursdays-

Aladdin-55 (+6), 7 screenings (2 IMAX, 2 3D, 2 Regular+Fan Screening)

Detective Pikachu-113 (+4), 6 screenings (3 3D, 3 Regular)

John Wick-63 (+9), 4 screenings (2 IMAX, 2 Regular)

 

In total today Aladdin sold 6 tickets, PikaPika sold 4, and John Wick sold 9 which is imo insane. 

Morning count, just Thursdays-

Aladdin-55, 7 screenings (2 IMAX, 2 3D, 2 Regular+Fan Screening)

Detective Pikachu-117 (+4), 6 screenings (3 3D, 3 Regular)

John Wick-66 (+3), 4 screenings (2 IMAX, 2 Regular)

 

Pikachu's really picking up and John Wick's not slowing down from yesterday.

Good lord BOP is still uncertain about Detective Pikachu's range so they just put a lowest range to good range with chances of going higher. Is this movie really that damn difficult to track?

 

Right now BOP has DP at a range of 55-75M OW. Pikachu's Domestic Total is now predicted at 220. I think it's gonna end up a bit higher then that around 80M OW, we shall see though. 75M OW for this is not bad but I hope it's higher. It's still the highest opening for WB in recent years.

 

Aladdin also dropped a lot and is now at a 66M OW with a 186 Domestic Total

That is correct.  

[Porthos]

Not gonna lie, can't say I like those early morning hourly Fandango numbers for Pikachu (and I felt this way before I saw the tracking update from BOP - I checked it out before checking any other threads this morning).

 

Yes, it's Friday when EG will proportionately be sucking up the cap.  Just...

 

Well, I'll see what it looks like locally tonight.

I don’t know if it’s the same for you guys but Pikachu is almost solely selling tickets for Thursday. Friday and Saturday seem rather bear. I’m preparing for a lower internal multiplier. 

Aladdin is doing ok, Wick 3 also rather impressive.

It’s the same for me but to be fair it’s always like that for family films at my theater.

I'd think Aladdin is even more family oriented than Pikachu but I could be wrong

My Thursday has been pretty flat since I last reported but its Friday and Saturday are where its selling at my theater in the last couple days. 

[Nova]

Also I'm with @HouseOfTheSun in that John Wick is still killing it at my theater. 

[Mulder]

John Wick's gains at my theater have been really impressing me. 

[YM!]

I’ll do Wick 3 this week as I will have comps as well as Aladdin

 

Tomorrow and/or Sunday is about PikaPika.

DP is selling well in my theaters on Friday and Saturday. Also, DP still has a more family-friendly Fri/Sat ratio, and Saturday matinees make up 46% of DP's Saturday sales compared to 39% for Aladdin.

Thu	2273	1165
Fri	1556	655
Sat	1544	546

They changed Pikachu's range from 55-75 to 55-79. Wow. They're really not sure about this film, it's that much of a wildcard.

I checked the actual Pulse data stream.  It's stuck at the beginning of the 1pm PDT hour.

 

Hence my real comment about fixing the blessed APIs.

Makes sense.  4pm EST is when all those shows started filling up on the East Coast

Really thinking more and more it's an overflow error somewhere.  Just seems logical as a culprit from what little I know/remember about computer programming

 

Just a wonder/miracle it didn't break for any of the other 200m OWs previously.
