Really depends on what you're looking for, but usually the most important takeaway for just a casual glance is the comp.  More on that in a bit.   But even that is highly dependent on a movie being either in a similar genre or having a similar pre-sale pattern as folks will buy tickets at different times during a pre-sale window thanks to a very long list of factors.   Add in that movies will have different promotional schedules during their pre-sales (review embargoes, TV ca

MODERATION:   Hi, everyone. It’s 6 o’clock in the morning. I have not gone to bed yet. And I am tired. And I know it’s going to be a very long weekend.

All of us are pretty high on Baby Driver right now but let me just take a minute and say that I would not be shocked in the slightest bit of DM3 opened to $100M+. Its discount Tuesday and that fucker is on MT and Pulse.

NOS is pushing it so hard I have to assume they payed a fortune for the rights. There is no way it doesn't become a hit here.

My theater has posted their schedule for the weekend: Despicable Me 3 on 4 screens, Baby Driver on 2 screens, The House, and The Beguiled. The six big houses featuring the balconies go to 2 screens for Despicable Me 3, both screens for Baby Driver, The House, and The Beguiled. Baby Driver getting both its screens in the bigger auditoriums is a huge sign of confidence, hopefully it pays off.

Holy shit. I've been waiting for a film to break 4,500 theaters since The Dark Knight Rises. :lol: 

 

Anyone know why animated kids films always get such wide releases?

Because they're the most inoffensive Hollywood movies the uptight independent religious theater owners can show? :lol: I don't know.

I think I read someone saying one time that some theater inside some outlet mall and other building (say IMAX attached to a city museum) that can only play PG/G movie ?

The same reason they keep them longer on avg than other films.  CONCESSIONS. 

 

With all the stinkers and under performers released in the last month save WW there are a lot of screens available so the time is ripe for an animated film to take the record
