In the end Aladdin sold 26 tickets today at my theater. About as much as Detective Pikachu did on it's first day.

Pretty much same here. Aladdin already surpassed Dumbo’s sales when Dumbo was at its week of release (so yea useless comp like I said) and it’ll most likely pass Shazam! by the end of the week similar to when Detective Pikachu did.

Isn't it worth a mention, that Pika Pika was the 5th best selling movie in the last 24 hours?

So, for this weekend's movies, it seems the theme is to push a deal to try to drive the audience away from Endgame...the only one (so far) without at Atom deal is UglyDolls.  Right now, Long Shot has a $4 all-in Atom TMobile ticket deal and The Intruder has a "buy more tickets, get more savings deal" of $3 off/2 and $6 off 3 tickets...I think the $4 deal is more likely to drive audience, but then again, Long Shot may have a harder time drawing at all...so it's probably a wash.

 

Funny enough, I think UglyDolls, like Wonder Park, would benefit the most from a deal, but that one is still not around yet:)...

Results from yesterday

 

Movie/Date	Monday
Detective Pikachu	332
	11 days
John Wick 3	262
	18 days
Aladdin	859
	25 days
Secret Life of Pets 2	11
	39 days

 

 

I'm not gonna go into any comps today, because the past three days don't work, and as BudStarr mentioned, that cap complicates things with Endgame going above and beyond. But as for Pikachu and Wick, it's doing better than what they did last week. And while I did wish Aladdin would've reached 1,000, it's still important to recognize the cap. And FWIW, people here are saying Aladdin sales at their theater are decent, so let's just be optimistic (inb4 TMP comes in to annoy people)

CM staying at #2 makes me wonder what kind of holds we're going to see from it this week.

Maybe I'm trying to be optimistic about the May releases but I thought they all did fine yesterday so  Also when I say fine, I mean with the cap affecting things and all.

Oof for SLOP2, I know presales aren't an indication but I think it's heading for a drop.

I don’t think so. It’s sales went up randomly without an announcement and anytime the trailer has played, it’s gotten really good reactions from my crowd.

I think it's more likely to decrease on its OW than increase.

That's fair. I just think if it drops, it won't be that huge of a drop. Probably like $90M OW or so. I mean my range for it is $90M-$110M at the moment

One can hope but the trailer got the biggest reaction from my AEG crowds - comedies usually do but the laughing was far bigger than for Pika not to mention that Hathaway/Wilson comedy.

It's just irritating for you to call everything a bomb lately. You could at least tone it down a bit.
