I'm guessing more showings will be added either today or tomorrow. It seems to be doing fairly well though. Doing better than Shazam! was doing at my theater around the same timeframe.

Good to hear. Thanks bruh

So kind of End Game to give some movies an hour to breath amid a roughly 4 week onslaught.

Unlike Shazam which in final week of release 

 

detective pikachu won’t get overshadowed by Endgame opening its pre sales

Too bad Crooked Sony is going to likely have tickets up for Far From Home, destroying Honest Pikachu. Sad!

It's simply DASTARDLY! 

 

Look for Disney to put Episode 9 tickets on sale the same day as Godzilla.

All I'm getting from this talk is that Fandango is probably going to break again tomorrow.

First count of today, only Thursdays-

Aladdin-67, 7 screenings (2 IMAX, 2 3D, 2 Regular+Fan Screening)

Detective Pikachu-136 (+10), 6 screenings (3 3D, 3 Regular) Final Week

John Wick-81 (+6), 4 screenings (2 IMAX, 2 Regular)

 

Holy fuck this Pikachu increase.  Also John Wick continues to show really good signs of breaking out.

Final count of today (Was doing something so a bit late), only Thursdays-

Aladdin-68 (+1), 7 screenings (2 IMAX, 2 3D, 2 Regular+Fan Screening)

Detective Pikachu-144 (+18), 6 screenings (3 3D, 3 Regular) Final Week

John Wick-77 (+2), 4 screenings (2 IMAX, 2 Regular)

 

Pikachu had an insane increase today which it really needed, hopefully this is indicative of a wider trend. Also I might be speculating too much but...tbh I'm feeling worried for Aladdin. While it initially had good pre-sales this slow down is...somewhat troubling. There's showings with only one or two tickets sold still. But anyways in total today Aladdin sold one ticket, Detective Pikachu sold an insane 18 tickets, and John Wick sold 2 which is less then my earlier count of 6. I possibly miscounted earlier.

I was about to say that Disney's probably gonna drop ticket sales for The Lion King on June 7 to sabotage Dark Phoenix but then I remembered they actually are releasing Dark Phoenix now.

Which gives them more of a reason to sabotage Dark Phoenix. 

 

Not that any studio needs to do such a thing for that movie.

Btw I looked at Saturday just out of curiosity and two of the digital DP showings are already incredibly close to selling out.

80M for Pikachu is happening guys

[keysersoze123]

it is doing better than what I expected. But I am expecting some front loading here. Could end up with < 3.0 multiplier. I hope it opens > 80m. You dont just want Marvel movies to do well.

In MY defense. I have been Winona Rydering everyone the last several weeks. And will continue to do so.

I just want a good premiere number. All the people are hesitant to watch movie because pikachu is talking to find comfort after WOM speards. Japan who was the most unwilling to accept pikachu talking. Adore the movie   

 

Then it should explode

Why is everyone raising their predictions for Pikachu? Did I miss something?

I don't have any good comps like Incredibles 2, so these will have to do.  Use with caution:

.4155x as many tickets sold as Crimes of Grindelwald 4 days before release.

NOTE: If a theater locally that is now selling tickets for reserved seating was selling them for the above movies, but as non-reserved seating for that movie, it is not counted toward the ratio of 'as many tickets sold' for the movie in question.  If a theater is brand new to the region and wasn't yet open for one of the above movies, however, it will be counted toward the ratio.  It will also be counted toward the ratio if it was playing in a different number of theaters locally.
