The lack of available seating is hurting preview sales growth, but other days continue to climb.  Previews are over 82% full.

*New sales since Thursday morning*

 

Final run started at 8:30 EST.  Hopefully these will be helpful for the next big movie.  

 

Here are my final numbers for each day, and time they recorded.

 

Thurs - 19,863/24,114 (9:30am EST)

Fri - 21,726/32,393 (11:00am EST)

Sat - 21,207/32,824 (8:00am EST)

Sun - 20,111/32,927 (8:30am EST)

 

With Santikos being in CST, I'm not sure how many tickets are selling during these hours to make much of a difference.

Only a 5.2% difference....

I'm really starting think this will have a Black Panther-esque Sunday drop.

Your final presales for Saturday was just over 788k, so a bit over 14% lower for Sunday.

Not a sale. Yikes.

At one of the theaters I frequent that has posted most of their schedule for Christmas Day, West Side Story (which is being moved back into one of the bigger auditoriums during the day before switching to a small one for the last show at night, which is probably part of that Disney agreement that theaters have to keep it throughout the holidays) has sold more tickets than The King's Man, A Journal for Jordan, and American Underdog combined. What would the Christmas box office be without its casualties?

Jumped 8.5% since yesterday. I didn't expect a big(ger) jump because it's still the (glorious) weekend of Spider-Man and Dune also only jumped 11% till Tuesday back then. But tomorrow and overmorrow its jumps should better increase a bit.

Comps: TSS (8.0M true Friday) had on Tuesday for Friday (= also 3 days to go) 1.089 sold tickets

So can any of my Canadian friends suggest why when I go to Cineplex website its showing no dates for Matrix Resurrections? At least for Toronto, unless it felt victim to the whole reset for the covid. Im guessing it will show up between now and Wed I guess.

Like with Matrix, I don't have any mid-week comps. I suppose FWIW, it is at 8.74x Cruella's Thursday at the same point, 2.38x Ghostbusters, 10.82x Encanto. Comps aside, the numbers are very strong

T-6 days Saturday(69 showings): 3818/17086 in 14 theaters

Encanto T-6 Friday comp: 18.40M

 

I'm mixing and matching comps with Encanto because of the differences in calendar situations and the strangeness of Utah's habits during the holidays. As you can see, Christmas Eve is ahead of Christmas Day. Encanto had the same thing with Thanksgiving Day ahead of Friday.

Thats my guess and seems most realistic. Funny as I have numbers for presales before....well this happened. I;ll just keep checking this week.

The Asgard's are saying Saturday will come in around $73M, so my comp didn't work too well! That's ok, because now I have Saturday's numbers to comp to Sunday. Maybe it adjusts down a bit because Sunday night should be weaker than Saturday night, but then again all the schools are out already and a lot of parents are starting their vacations Monday. Looking at the numbers, I don't see this dropping more than 15%. 

 

Spider-Man: No Way Home Current Number, 24 Screen Theater, 8PM - December 18, 2021

Counting for Sunday - December 19, 2021

45 show times, 2556 tickets sold 
 

 

Comp to NWH 1st Saturday (Assuming $73M)

-10.85% with no adjustment 

$65.1M

 

 

EC and Jat are both calling for Sunday to be in the ~$63-64M range, so our comp was pretty darn close. Monday is the first day outside of the opening weekend, so my gut tells me it will be more walk-up heavy and with that I need to adjust the numbers upward to get closer to what it will actually be. The only problem is I don't know how high that adjustment needs to be. I feel like it should be 5-10% vs the comp below but I'm not going to make it here. Tues/Weds/Thurs will definitely be easier to estimate.
