Should this say "Sold T-9?"  

Edit: I think not, thinking about it more the -10 refers to today but the -9 is forward looking, so it makes sense they'd always be 1 different. Feel kind of silly for never noticing that before though.  

Edit 2: I thoroughly confused myself, but now that a second look has been taken I will assume everything is correct 😛

Sold Day 2

Unclear to me whether this is Day 2 or Day -9, labels seem to disagree with each other.

Better day out of Sacramento today.  The spread across the theaters in the region was more in line with what I expect.  Still not a patch on CoolEric258 out of Philly, but the It 2 and DP2 comps rose significantly, as one would expect.

 

Not that it matters too much given the disparity in length of pre-sale windows but Joker also outsold the Day 2 of Fallen Kingdom, if only just (JW:FK Day 2 - 180 | Joker (adj) - 189).

 

Still haven't seen enough data to draw large conclusions, but my hand is drifting away from the panic button for now.

Fixed.  I was putting in my initial comp sheets from my drafting thread and hadn't caught all of the things I needed to change.  Thanks for the heads up.

Comp

0.577x of Dora 2 days before release (721K)

2.222x of Racing in Rain 2 days before release (1M)

 

Outpacing Dora seems good here, although it's important to recognize that Dora started two hours earlier, so it's not a perfect comparison. But 20M+ is still likely, although anything above that seems like a stretch, which could arguably be slightly disappointing, but...eh, it could be worse?

In Russia, Abominable ticket sales are going very well. All Thursday tickets sold out

[lorddemaxus]

I'm wondering if the talk of mass shootings could affect the OW. If the talks spreads to the mainstream then I think it would maybe prevent people from booking tickets for Thursday instead of the whole weekend being affected because the Aurora shooting happened during Thursday previews.

I will say what I said to @Porthos. The last 24 hours haven’t exactly been a slow news cycle. More than likely the story will get lost in the shuffle, and the parties who know about WB and the theater’s decision will have already made up their minds either way.

Up to 9 showtimes for Thursday Previews at Scotiabank Montreal. 3 IMAX, 3 Regular, 3 70MM. 

 

Cinemas want that 100m+ OW.

When it opens the only other movie doing over $10m that w/e probably will Abominable.

 

Lots of screens available so not much to lose if it doesn't break out that high. 

[RealLyre]

not liking those pre-sales from Sacramento, Joker not taking down October's record would be incredibly disappointing for me.

Thank you.  That is wonderful.  

 

Did you ever do estimates/comps or just the hard numbers?

I did comps but usually when someone asked so they're in different posts - I will have to look.

 

Fixed the chart above b/c I accidentally left out TLK numbers and some preview numbers

Give it a few days to recover from the late start.  Friday or Saturday maybe I'd guess will be a decent indicator.

Zombieland 2 just got tickets up today. Haven't looked at sales yet, and probably won't for a while, but previews start at 7
