Shazam has solidly taken over the lead on Fandango and MT.com...should be leading to a good Saturday for it...

Germany and probably Japan. 

Germany has very big presales. Sold more than 100k Tickets on the first day according to Disney.

That's huge for our standards.

 

As a comparison, SW EP 7 sold around 550k 2 weeks before release, but SW is on another level.

Wait, Pets 2 tickets are already on sale??? My local theatre already has tickets up for opening week, and its only 1h 24 min

Endgame is currently 5th in the last hour on Fandango. I wonder if the law of averages is finally catching up.

 

[stfletch]

Captain Marvel doing very well on Fandango the last few hours, solidly 3rd. Endgame effect?

They've been up since Thursday. And shockingly, at least looking at Pulse statistics, people aren't eager to buy tickets for it right away.

I keep forgetting about that. 

 

If it averages 267 over the next 7 hours, it'll finish around 8250. That would be 47% ahead of IW on the same comparative day.

It’s been a long and exciting day you guys — can you believe that at the time of the quoted post not a single ticket had been officially sold in China and we’d been graced by 0 Wang updates? And it’s only fitting that such an exciting day ends with a very narrow margin for 1st place. AEG managed to hang on, leaving tomorrow and Sunday as perhaps the last days before release where it will fail to be on top.

17:00 Pacific 4/12/19 (end of Friday)

 

1	18.1%	Avengers: Endgame
2	17.4%	Shazam!
3	9.9%	Little
4	7.4%	Dumbo
5	6.7%	Pet Sematary

 

Hellboy was in 5th for some updates, as was After. 

17:00 Pacific 4/13/2019 (End of Sat)

1	22.3%	Shazam!
2	10.4%	Little
3	9.9%	Dumbo
4	9.8%	Avengers: Endgame
5	9.1%	Captain Marvel

All the way down to #4, poor Flopgame   

 

On a more serious note we see yesterday’s trend of only 1/4 new openers continue, but rounding out the top 5 is now Captain Marvel again. Perhaps it will see a strong Saturday bump.

[XXR vs XXR]

 

EG at just under 8000 today with 3 updates left. Should finish somewhere around 9000.

IW on the equivalent Saturday did 5602, so despite being massively ahead of IW overall it's still selling about 60% more than it by day-to-day comparisons.

I wouldn't be surprised if Endgame is already above Infinty war total tickets sale for weekend in some presales heavy area. 

[Ledmonkey96]

As of 4/12/19	Tickets Sold	Total Tickets	% sold
Thursday	824	870	94.71%

Saturday	1084	1647	65.82%
Sunday	696	1647	42.26%

Sold 115 tickets today. Including rented out theaters we've sold out of 7/68 showings over the weekend.

Avengers Endgame Saturday is going to be massive. I think it can hit 92M+

Maybe 10k actually. Huge jump at the 3rd-to-last update for the day. Now at just over 8700.

IW presales sure, i think they mean total number of tickets IW sold in certain areas, with 11 days to go my theater needs a bit more than 2k more ticket sales which won't happen unless we add another 3-4 theaters.

 

For Thursday night of the 53 showings being tracked on Fandango 12 are sold out + at least 1 that's not being tracked at my theater. In terms of room for growth in the number of showings 

Number of Screens Available	Number of showings
13	11
18	5
8	7
16	7
16	15
11	3
16	5

Ahhhh. For most places, previews has been broken already (my theater for instance.)

As for total weekend, I wouldn't imagine any place has beaten IW yet and won't until Sunday of opening weekend.

So many things about Pulse are explained by it being a subset. For instance, the weekend/Tuesday late night “increases” for Endgame are just the in release movies selling fewer tickets once prime time has passed.
