Yeah there was a good review bump here. How effective this was is up to you of course, but it certainly gave the film a solid shot in the arm here in Philly.

Not that there's any reason for any of us to track it at the moment, but Free Guy showtimes are popping up at a couple of chains.  Not yet for sale, naturally.

 

Looks to be 6pm previews, near as I can tell.

That's a much better looking day. Just depends on if it can sustain that for the next couple.

This does seem like the kind of film that can coast on walk-ups, so I guess we'll have to wait and see if that has an effect on the Thursday numbers at all. Comparing how this film's Thursday and Friday are doing up against Space Jam 2's True Friday,  the Friday estimate would be around $10.46 million. Might be a tad high compared to what others in this thread are projecting, but at this point, it would be a best case scenario for this film this weekend.

The Thursday preview numbers for this one are literally the exact same amount Snake Eyes sold last week the night before preview showings. That would translate to $1.4 million. Granted, I recognize that's not an apt comparison at all, since Snake Eyes had ten times the amount of seats this does (IMAX, too), and two extra showings to boost. Still, this does give me very positive vibes for its large box office performance this weekend.

It's a start.  But kinda uneven with some theaters seeing a relatively healthy bounce and others still crickets.  Also would expect a drop in ticket sales tomorrow and Friday as a review bump is just that.  Still, "It's a start" really is the best way to put it, I think.

 

Also the Black Widow comp barely moved because it was at this point in BW's track that Cinema West locations started to have verifiable seat maps once again. The last holdout will show up on tomorrow's report so BW will have an unadjusted comp once again.

TSS avg tracking against F9 and BW puts it at 1.71m at this point.  GK is still hanging with the comps; maybe it will get to 1.5m+ for previews after all.  Even if that is the case, it seems like it'd be more frontloaded than those comps so still around the 9m-10m range for the weekend.  Jungle Cruise (J Crew?) needs to get to 755 (+293) by tomorrow morning to get to 2m with these comps.  Definitely possible, just a matter of will it. 

 

I'll probably add Don't Breathe 2 and Respect over the weekend.   Looks like both are on sale now.  Free Guy has showings up so it'll be soon as well.

What about Shazam? I can’t exactly remember how it was tracking but I do remember the feeling and speculation it could have been bigger if not so close to Endgame

We had Shazam 40-60M eight weeks out and 45-55M week of, so that was a "within expectations" one IMO. I think other trackers were a bit lower given the unknown character element. Felt very comparable to Ant-Man at the time, only with a little less star power.

Well decent increase and probably 3x PSm to $18K in Harkins California as compared to $73K of BW on 62 shows. Purely that would be $3.2M but smaller films may have bigger ratio in popular locs. However reopening of Ontario shall cancel some of that.

The reason for being pre-sales heavy is the urgency to watch ASAP by fans which is Star Wars, Marvel or DC.

 

Other reason is when something suppose to open big so tickets booked in advance to secure seats.

 

MI is more like General audience franchise and never going for those huge openings so presales are supposed to be back loaded IMO

Right, and the other factor there is the family audience which is friendly to SW, Marvel, and DC more so than MI. We tend to always assume it's older dudes scooping up all the fan-driven tickets, but women/mothers tend to be very pre-sale focused on films that target them specifically (think Girls Trip, Bad Moms, etc.), so it stands to reason they also make up a fair share of four-quad blockbuster pre-sales even on what we consider to be male-leaning titles.

I adjusted the estimated comps so that I was comparing at the exact same point in time (rather than with offsets of a few hours) so that explains some of the rise, particularly on Friday. Still, Thursday did see a decent review bump. If it continues this (big if) then it's probably heading for 3.5 million. Friday still looks pretty awful even with the review bump. Maybe 7-7.5 million true Friday if things don't pick up.

I have some, let's call them "internal indicators", where it comes to sale patterns among theaters this far out.  According to them, I would have liked to see a 80 seat sale day, or at least a 60 to 70 one.

 

Instead, I got a 54 seat day (53 if one takes out the lone DBOX seat that sold).  That's because the sales were really uneven.  I expect there to be top heaviness at Century Arden this far out, but it was a bit too top heavy.  As I implied last night there are still too many theaters which have barely sold anything at all.

 

Can't even call it a urban/suburban split as it doesn't quite fit that pattern.

 

Is better than it was doing, that's undeniable.  But it didn't have a fantastic review bump, either.
 

Just have to see where it goes from here and if momentum is sustained or not.

The Green Knight counted today at 6am EST for Friday:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 35 (4 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 56 (3 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 25 (4 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): - (no showtimes)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Centerpoint 11): 60 (4 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 155 (6 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 167 (8 showtimes)
 

Total tickets sold in 6 theaters: 498.
Up 45% since yesterday. Again a good jump.
The Goldfinch (2.7M OW) had on Thursday in 6 theaters (no showtimes in NY but in Texas) 160 sold tickets for Friday (so vs 463 for TGK).
The Good Liar (5.6M OW) had on Thursday in 6 theaters (also AMC in NY missing, therefor had showtimes in Texas) 102 sold tickets for Friday (so again vs 463 for TGK).
The presales look good, Idk why I'm still not convinced. Probably the many underperformances and also the mood here are to blame.

Stillwater, counted today at 6am EST for Friday:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): - (no showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 11 (3 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 14 (4 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 2 (2 showtimes)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Centerpoint 11): 3 (3 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 19 (4 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 23 (4 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 6 theaters: 72.
Up 76% since yesterday.
Comps: Those Who Wish Me Dead (2.8M OW) had on Thursday in 4 theaters (NY, Arizona, San Francisco, LA) 89 sold tickets.
The Rythm Section (2.7M) had on Thursday in the same 6 theaters 109 sold tickets.

Jungle Cruise, counted today at 6am EST for Friday:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 140 (8 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 86 (16 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 63 (11 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 34 (2 showtimes)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Centerpoint 11): 31 (6 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 153 (11 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 310 (14 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 7 theaters: 817.
25% up since yesterday.
Comps: Dora and the Lost City of Gold (17.4M OW) had on Thursday in the same 7 theaters 384 sold tickets for Friday.
Dolittle (21.8M OW) had on Thursday in the same 7 theaters 395 sold tickets.
On the one hand if Space Jam: A New Legacy is able to cross the 30M mark (with nostalgia factor but bad reviews) Jungle Cruise with The Rock as a draw, quite good reviews and also sort of a nostalgia factor should manage that too. OTOH the jump today was not the biggest, e.g. way under that of Dolittle back then. But at least 25M OW should happen.

TSS counted today at 6am EST for Thursday, August 5 (7 days to go):

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 137+ (4 showtimes and still has these damn two Sell Outs reports)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 138 (4 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 16 (2 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 7 (1 showtime)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Centerpoint 11): 10+ (3 showtimes, still two Sell Outs reported)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 228 (8 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 505 (10 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 7 theaters: 1.041.
Up 11% since yesterday. First I was disappointed but then I noticed that the jump from 838 to 935 tickets (which it had yesterday) was over 48h and not 24h like today. So it maybe saw a little review bump or it's just that the release comes closer.

Now at 50% of Birds of Prey on its release day.
So in my theaters TSS is at the moment ca. on par with The Conjuring 3 on Wednesday of its release week when The Conjuring had 1.074 sold tickets (for Friday).
AQPII had in the same 7 theaters 1.209 sold tickets (for Thursday) also on Wednesday of its release week.
Hobbs & Shaw had in the same 7 theaters 1.194 sold tickets for Thursday 4 days later = on Monday of its release week.

Apologies for any inconsistencies, my brain decided to shut off just as I was getting to the end but this should work out in the end lol. 

 

And OH YES, Cineplex (my seeing for first time) is adding "Private Viewings"! Yay! I didn't add them into count because I didn't know how we were calculating private viewings if they'd be part of the overall count, or what...its selling like "just another show", but in its own "private viewing" window separate from the other showings.

Early afternoon update, JC is at 17504 tickets sold at MTC2. F9 was at 70452 at the same point. It has sold 5459 tickets since last night as opposed to F9 having sold 13335 in the same period (so pace is 0.408x F9). If it continues this pace, it will finish with around 39k tickets at MTC2, which gives 2.27 million in previews when compared with F9. Now F9 overperformed at MTC2, but my suspicion is that Jungle Cruise will overperform as well, which is why I'm using this comp.

Stillwater is picking up slightly. Not crazy numbers, but good enough that I would be surprised if it goes sub-3M at this point.

 

Green Knight has slowed down a bit (I guess the initial surge in sales were... A24 fans?) but still strong. Looks like it’s par with Jungle Cruise overall. Could see it hitting 10M for the weekend still.
