Yeah this needs to pick up some momentum pronto, but I don't want to harp on it too much. We already argued about it last night and it's too early to pick this up again.

With showtimes finally added for the other theater, sales are up 53% for Thursday and 200% for Friday. Still behind Old, but there's more potential to catch up.

PRE-SALE NOTE:  BW tickets were on sale for nine days longer than at this point in the track TSS have been so far.

 

===

 

All comps are now synced up to T-x. Because of the disparity in pre-sale length, both the F9 and BW comps suffered.  Setting that aside, TSS actually stopped the bleeding tonight, as its percentage of sales against all three films was... decent.  Which is a damn site better than it had been.  Is it starting to turn the corner? Only time will tell.

 

Also, I remembered last night that I should have been adjusting the comp against Black Widow, as at the time several theaters had unreliable seat maps and thus were not being tracked.  However, this only resulted in an over-count of two whole seats (that is, I was giving The Suicide Squad two more seats in a BW comp than I should have), which is an absolutely negligible error.  Still, it'll matter for about the next week and a half, so correcting for the error starting tonight.

I'm fairly dubious of the theory behind using Hobbs & Shaw as a comp, even though I'm the one who broached the possibility of it.  Even so, if I comped TSS against H&S, then I get... 8.10m as a comp (yes, pre-sales for H&S were that poor for a long time).

 

However, we've seen time and time again that Sacramento is running hot compared to the rest of DOM.  So far 2021 comps are off about 18 to 21 percent from what pre-2020 comps would suggest. With Ontario back, if I guesstimate that comps are now off by about 15 to 17 percent compared to what they were pre-2020, then I get something like 6.72m to 6.88m.  Which is a lot better than current comping is suggesting.

 

Don't ask me how likely this is.  Just noting what a Hobbs & Shaw like pre-sale pattern would suggest for The Suicide Squad.

Is that 6.72 to 6.88 number just for preview shows? I mean Thursday night? Seems improbable as of right now. There’s so little buzz for the Suicide Squad. Seems like nobody wants to watch another film with these characters. Do you have the numbers for Friday? Thank you!

Escape Room 2 - 1.346x (1.61m)

F9 - 0.143x (1.02m)

Awful day for Suicide Squad.  The only movies I've tracked this far out were F9 and BW - they average to a 2.42m preview at this point.

Industry tracking from Variety:

 

Snake Eyes $15-16m

Old $12-15m

 

They expect Space Jam to keep hold of #1 with just a 45-50% drop (!?). 

Would make sense - it's a kids movie and they just spent two close NBA Finals games talking all about it.

 

I think $15 million is reasonable for both Old and Snake Eyes. They both certainly didn't skimp on marketing during the Finals, I'll say that.

Although after being utterly burned last week with their certainty (just like Deadline), I appreciate the total uncertainty in the headline:)...even has a question mark...https://variety.com/2021/film/box-office/box-office-snake-eyes-old-opening-projections-1235023575/

 

"Can ‘Space Jam’ Dunk on M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Old’ and ‘Snake Eyes’ at the Box Office?"

 

PS - They have Space Jam at $15-$18M...and mention Snake Eyes could go over $20M and win, so they have no clue on Snake Eyes...Although, by not mentioning Black Widow, that would seem to indicate they see that movie slipping to #4 with another drop of at least 50% (b/c 50% would slot it into a 2 way race for 3rd with Old with its projected numbers)...

I only do previews, and yes it is very improbable.  I floated a theory/analogy a couple of days ago and I wanted to see where the logic went if it was right.

 

It very likely isn't right.  At the same time, I was curious, so I decided to see where the analogy would lead me if I followed it to its logical conclusion.

 

At the same time, I have doubts that TSS will under-perform so badly as to only get 3m in previews, so it is what it is at the moment.

It may be worth throwing in an adjusted H&S comp though. Just as another possible scenario of how things could go, especially given the surprise boost yesterday.

If I do I'll have to actually sit down and figure out how much to adjust for the differing conditions between now and pre-2020 as I now think I have enough evidence to say that all pre-2020 comps out of Sacto need adjusting due to *waves hands around* everything out there.

 

Since Ontario is back, maybe chop off 16% as that would be in the mid-ish range of (18 to 22 percent) - (4 percent)? 

 

I'll chew it over in other words. :)

So I hadn't checked out the TSS main thread yesterday, but apparently the review embargo is now July 28th.  Which, frankly, makes a hell of a lot more sense.

 

Does mean we won't get the spectacle of seeing what happens when a review embargo is lifted two plus weeks out, but que sera sera

At long last, Cinemark has updated its DBOX display to actually show the DBOX seats in normal shows!

 

...which does explain why I was getting negative numbers for TSS sales today, lol. 

 

...and now the default price on a normal showing with DBOX seats available is shown as the default price. Which makes scraping the actual price require a browser simulator rather than a normal scraper.
