This was a pretty disappointing Wednesday jump. If this was gonna break out big, it should have sold more tickets. But hey, maybe things will be better tomorrow?

No use for comps with seats sold this low

Seems like Dora could underperform this weekend (unless walk ups are really really good).

As expected super flop city. It's a toddler show they made a movie for teens about. Makes no sense.

All movies counted today at ca. 11 am EST.

Dora:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 109 (total tickets sold for Thursday) / 110 (total tickets sold for Friday, 7 showtimes)
Boston (AMC Assembly Row 12): 30 / 34 (5 showtimes)
Boston (Boston Common 19): 38 / 19 (5 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 104 / 61 (10 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 9 / 18 (4 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 17 / 30 (4 showtimes)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Center Point 11): 12 / 15 (4 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 78 / 71 (5 showtimes)
LA (AMC Bay Street): 51 / 22 (5 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 119 / 79 (5 showtimes)
Total tickets sold in 10 theaters till Thursday for Thursday: 567 and for Friday: 459.
It's a family film and doesn't look frontloaded but still, that's a bit meager. Saw that boxofficepro.com also lowered their prediction to 22M OW.

Scary Stories:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 140 (total tickets sold for Thursday) / 141 (total tickets sold for Friday, 6 showtimes)
Boston (AMC Assembly Row 12): 59 / 62 (4 showtimes)
Boston (Boston Common 19): 48 / 38 (5 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 75 / 19 (4 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 53 / 35 (4 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 22 / 25 (5 showtimes)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Center Point 11): 28 / 21 (4 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 190 / 152 (5 showtimes)
LA (AMC Bay Street): 106 / 76 (5 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 375 / 185 (5 showtimes)
Total tickets sold in 10 theaters till Thursday for Thursday: 1.096 and for Friday: 754.
Compared to yesterday it increased by nice 70% and 59%.
Crawl had on Thursday 417 / 334.
With all the positive presale reports here and the pretty good reviews I also think around 20M should happen.

The Kitchen:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 79 (total tickets sold for Friday, 6 showtimes)
Boston (AMC Assembly Row 12): 60 (4 showtimes)
Boston (Boston Common 19): 29 (5 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 34 (4 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 5 (4 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9 → Barton Creek instead): 27 (5 showtimes)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Center Point 11): 7 (4 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 119 (5 showtimes)
LA (AMC Bay Street): 53 (5 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 106 (5 showtimes)
Total tickets sold in 10 theaters till Thursday for Friday: 519.
Compared to yesterday it increased by 39%.

The Art of Racing in the Rain:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): no showtimes
Boston (AMC Assembly Row 12): 21 (total tickets sold for Thursday) / 16 (total tickets sold for Friday, 4 showtimes)

Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 6 / 21 (4 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 7 / 9 (4 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 9 / 16 (4 showtimes)

San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 44 / 69 (5 showtimes)
LA (AMC Bay Street): 13 / 2 (5 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 14 / 16 (5 showtimes)
Total tickets sold in 9 theaters till Thursday for Thursday: 128 and for Friday: 176.
Compared to yesterday it increased by 32% and 49%.
